GGQ II

“Whatever system that you adhere to, to it you must adhere, that is “stick” yourself. Through some mental force, whether it be by studious examination and logical conclusion or via foreclosure to ideas beyond the childhood ideologies installed within us by our parents. We must actively, either through continued research or continued sheltering, maintain these systems. For some of us, dwelling mindfully inside of such an enclosure of stories (be they historical, sociological, metaphorical, metaphysical, or even a melange of these) proves difficult; especially when it contradicts our experience. Others avoid this uncomfortable circumstance altogether through a mechanism commonly referred to as “denial”. Still others revel in travelling in an out of the structures, maintaining a plasticity of personality that is uncommon, adventurous, and useful for the traveller (though it may seem dangerous, dishonest, or irresponsible to others).” – Josh Kent
