Average minds think alike. My husband likes to change it to this instead of "great minds think alike" when we both come up with an idea. We don't have the hubris to think that we have great minds. And really, the greatness of the great minds does not lie in their thinking the same as those who have come before them.
How do you account for this? Account for the feelings that humanists think are just chemicals bouncing around in your brain? Do you really get enough chemical pleasure out of committing to someone that you can endure the not-so-good feelings that come from dealing with a person's idiosyncrasies?
Rally round the family. Song stuck in my head. Full of anger. I've been appreciating the benefit of anger in music, lately. You can tell when it's there, and miss it when it's not, especially in the songs of the rock genre where it -should- be there. What's the point of talking about rebellion when you're not angry? Can you have rebellion without anger? Rebelling is at its root a reaction against something that is wrong, and we cannot be happy with the wrong.
