Something Obvious
something I read today,
"There is no such thing as a more intelligent or less intelligent movie goer. There are simply people with different sensibilities, who work on different frequencies, and thus all must be respected." Olmi
I really agree with this perspective.
It was quoted by a movie director.
The thought could go farther or be adapted to more than just movies. We all come from different places in life and it's not fair to call someone ignorant if they never had the opportunity to learn it in the first place.
All you have to do is read a few books (or blogs) to figure out that you can't possibly know everything.
We are all ignorant about something. Respecting each other is essential. Our similarities and our differences.
I daily become more aware of the fact that I am no expert on anything.
Even the smallest child may know something I don't.
Doesn't this concept seem a bit obvious?
It does to me.

Even the smallest child may know something we don't? I'd be comfortable learning what favorite flavor ice cream my child likes, but draw the line if the topic is wisdom, morality, politics or religion, in which case giving children authority to teach adults will lead us too lay in our own urine (sorry for the visual). You’re a sweet lady.

I meant that children sometimes carry a unique perspective that can teach us grown ups a thing or two. "Out of the mouth of babes" That's more what I meant.
When it comes to discussing religion or politics-I tell them what I believe and try to practice what I preach. Ultimately, I want them to make up their own minds. I don't want my children to be Republican just because their mommy is.

Another example that it's possible to be pretty and smart and the same time. You might like my latest post where I argue children have a better understanding of right and wrong than a certian College Professor I wrote about.
