Clinging To Ideas Rant

As predisposed to ideas as we are in the course of learning and experience do we really learn or do we seek out information and like mindedness to reaffirm what we were already born with. Jon of a particularly strong stubborn nature prescribes to the latter but fancies himself as a champion of the former. Kate reads, and reads then reads some more attempting to web together a great truth from all the important aspects of life. Simon, the fisherman, discards all attempts at reason and follows faith. The clergyman steering his notion of contemporary right and wrong from an ancient text. In the sidelines, the tug of war between progressives and conservatives plays on. With the progressives gaining new ground, conservatives conserving enough of the old for nothing to change. All in all, wrapped we become curmudgeon tempered greeters for a new generation.
