There is always room for discovery

"There’s wisdom in acknowledging that even if you passionately believe something, there’s room for possibility, for discovery, for progress."
Maarten van Doorn

It is such a confusing world of conflicting voices and the chaos of people and governments justifying opposing theories is crazy making.  I appreciate the above quote and the accompanying read that goes with it (if you follow the link below) for this. Basically this quote says to me that once we formulate what we believe in it is not the stopping point, this does not become an absolute belief that we have to defend and support ad infinitum. It is merely the starting point!!!

And, I think there is always room for more thinking, reading, and listening to what's underneath the babble ...

(Slovenian Marxist Philospher) I will definitely be reading more of Zizek's writing... although I have always blindly assumed Marxism was one of the ideologies that took away the Individual freedoms we value so highly in our democratic society. Haha here's a whole new tangent ...
