Pablum

     Many decades ago, Pablum was invented to provide extra nourishment for babies.  This bland, mushy foodstuff  was safe to be consumed before the infant had teeth or a mature digestive tract.  Later, the term pablum took on another meaning which referred to naive or simplistic intellectual or entertainment fare.
     Many people still prefer to ingest simplistic or infantile ideas.   Perhaps they don't have the teeth to chew on complex ideas or the guts to get beyond what has been fed to them as young children.   Perhaps they just want to stay comfortable and don't realize the necessity to form grownup thoughts.
     Think about how much pablum is absorbed into you mind, how much time you spend on childish ideas, empty pursuits, and  mindless entertainment.  Don't waste your thinking on fairy tales, fables, and folklore.  Sink your teeth into the truth.
