A Change of Perspective

I had this page opened in my browser for more than a week and I finally buckled down and read it top to bottom.

It's a good read really.

Despite the image I had of MM LKY in my mind, I was quite impressed with his points of view. Especially when several of them actually mirror my own. In areas concerning religion and national (more like societal) responsibilities, we actually have quite similar opinions (based on this interview of course).

If you gave this piece (and LKY) a chance, free from emotional outcry, you can actually see that he is actually very 'forward thinking'. Unlike the image most of us have of a man unwilling to let go of the reins and of the past.

Maybe it's the 'morning brain' or maybe it's that leftover ice coffee I left in the fridge, but one this is for sure, my respect of LKY and confidence in my own views have grown somewhat a little this morning.
