One who doesn’t experiment/test their beliefs will become chained to theory and ideals, and will subsequently be unable to surf the waves of functionality that briefly appear from instance to instance, from context to context.

It’s actually how I naturally am, lol! And most of the musings come to me in the shower, so perhaps the water gods are just in a super serious mood. 😉

yup. I started out in life as an infant baptized Lutheran sort. From there, I’ve grown and evolved into someone I rather enjoy most of the time. I figure I’m not done yet! My beliefs have changed a great deal from the kid who went to a tiny Christian college eons ago, I’m thankful for that!
Clapping for the good thoughts I read when I get to pop in periodically.

Thank You Kris, and that’s good to hear! Yeah, I think most of us at one point or another realize that idealistic beliefs aren’t enough to really surf the ambiguity of life. That’s when people start looking for the core in those beliefs and making them flexible and functional, and that—in my opinion—is when people start getting smarter! 😀

I’m not sure, but if I had to pick, I’d say wiser. Good point! 🙂
