II. ABOUT ME.

I guess I’m sort of a conundrum, as I consider myself both complex and easy to figure at the same time.  What I mean to say is that I can be very hard to understand or follow if you come to the table unwilling to listen and/or entrenched in extreme views.  My simplicity comes in that, I believe moderation in your beliefs and views can speed you on the path to enlightenment, peace and joy.  Hardcore and hard-lined perspectives make you so rigid and unyielding that when you come up against your opposition you come closer to breaking than you do resolute compromise.  I also feel as though we have given individuality in beliefs and ideas too much freedom!  We need to have more agreement on some basic essentials, before we can put such high values on individual thoughts.  Let’s have some agreed upon perspectives on the basics/essentials and only then can diversity in secondary and ancillary thoughts/beliefs be valuable!  Everyone can’t be right… good ole’ debate has been lost everywhere but the legal system and academia.  We should engage in healthy respectful debate of ideologies every once in awhile, so we clear the way for fresh new ideas and strategies to help heal some of our biggest social ills.  Without this I think we may loose the current generation and our future in the process.  I would just like to see our interpersonal communication improve in my lifetime, so we can be on our way toward a better society.
