What a reaction to my assertion that Boza is the nectar of life. I think maybe I should write more about such controversial subjects such as this. Really it isn't my hearts desire to sway you into thinking that everyone should like Boza. It was more my desire to see who bothers me...haha not really. But seriously, what else could create such a hoopla like this? If I said that the pine tree is the most beautiful tree and all others should be cut down...would that create a stir?
I could sense a bit of sarcasm in some of the comments y'all made, but I am a bit reluctant to say that. Am I right in saying that if it wasn't such a silly topic...none of you would have said anything? The sillyness of it allowed you to say something without feeling like you would be crticized...I understand
What I am trying to say is this...Say what you want to say and I will listen!...even if it is a silly subject or a more serious one. If I write about something more controversial than Boza, I don't know if that is possible :), please write an opinion. I will listen, I promise.
I watched an animation about the educational system the other day about how as we grow older we lose some of our inherant creativity. How we are deadened to things in society that we once were so enthusiastic about when we were younger. I know my parents tease me that when I was I child I asked "why?" to everything. I always had to put my two cents into anything that was going on. I am proposing that we should get back to that investigative state of mind.
Through asking why, how, and tougher questions that dig at the truth and allow us to realize that much of what we think we know is not actually the truth. Let's encourage one another when needed, apologize when necessary, be creative and adventurous and not settle for a one-answer mentality.
Many of you who know me would say, "Now Grant, aren't you being kinda hypocritical by saying you don't want to settle for a one-answer mentality?"
To those people I say "NO, when it happens that there is only one answer then what can I say to change that one answer...nothing."
I want this society, the people, just to open their minds a bit and actually seek out more than one solution to a problem. Go beyond the convenient, search for creative alternatives for the usual ho-hum life. There is no harm in asking, listening, or encouraging. So that is my challenge.
Here is the animation of the educational system I was talking about.
Great video, thanks. And even Faith, which I think is what you were referencing up there, is meant to be debated and researched and questioned. That topic may be more interesting than Boza but until your readers are ready, disgusting drinks are still pretty entertaining.
