"You have square thoughts which resist circles." Leto II, the God Emperor of Dune
The monumental character who's the pinnacle of Herbert's genius and idea summarizes in his words the definition of me as a person thus far. We all have square thoughts which resist circles. If we were more susceptible to circles, the world would be a better place.

Hmmm. Well, it might be more harmonious, but then it'd be a boring place. And also it would lose a lot of inventiveness.

Hehe. But that's just it. It is a bad place because people don't know how to think. I'm not saying we should ALL think the same. But we should all be able to reevaluate our beliefs from time to time.

We should, and the most interesting people generally do. So it's just a matter of finding the people who do and ignoring the rest. ;)

Yea. But the thing is they're really far in between.
