Romanticism vs The Enlightenment

[Magical Realist]

I'm a bit of a mix between these two historic trends. I believe in the intellect and in reasoning to guide me thru life like a rationalist, but I also stay grounded in the passions and longings of the heart like a romantic. A ship needs both its sails and its rudder after all. I am as comfortable quoting Einstein as I am quoting Rumi.

I believe in the intellect and in reasoning to guide me thru life,...

Not by any outward indication.

Why are you so obsessed with putting me down and making it personal? What motivates you on such a one-track pursuit? What stake do you have in it?

[Syne]

Are objective observations "putting you down"?

I set a two post max on responding to Syne (three if I've been drinking). At least then we both know he'll max out fairly quickly.

Yeah...that's a good idea. He can't seem to help himself from insulting.

[Syne]

Funny how you can't see your own hand in years of insults.

Love. Hate. Revenge. And all points in-between.
