Examining Life

This article seems to oppose much of what I have been taught in my life and Brooks acknowledges that. I think he is onto something though. The institutional thinking that he discusses is less about conceding to an age old practice merely because of the tradition but rather because of the wisdom it holds. It is not mindless acceptance but an appreciation of the ethics involved as the ethics reflect experience and experience is invaluable. Experience isn't everything but when it is neglected then it repeats itself. I mean, not many really remember the Great Depression.
