A Narrow View, a Laughingstock

The simplest truths in life: do you really understand what you think you understand? Even a fool may hit upon a good idea after a thousand attempts. People naturally cherish even a worn-out broom of their own. I wonder if anyone will agree with the things I have to say. Perhaps you'll agree with my views, or perhaps you'll hold the opposite opinion. Before rushing to argue, take a moment to organize your thoughts and words. I accept and welcome reasoned disagreement, but I reject pointless mockery. What we should be doing is engaging in academic exchange and serious thought, not acting like rabid dogs, barking at people while clinging to baseless opinions. Perhaps every sentence I write will be questioned. Perhaps no one will care about these thoughts once I put them into words. But so what? They belong only to my heart, and exist within it. Nothing more. I don't write feel-good platitudes, nor do I write bitter ones. I don't want to heal anyone, and I don't want to make anyone miserable. I'm simply trying to quiet down amid this noisy world and think for a while.
