To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
~ Aristotle

Someone told me today, in response to me saying that I tend to go overboard when I am talking about ideas I am passionate about, that, "enthusiasm is hardly something to be defensive about!" ... and I have to admit it made my day! :) I guess when most of the time one is surrounded by people who—and naturally so because that's how the majority of folks are—who don't converse about ideas, it could start to feel like you have an odd thing. And you could feel like it's best to keep your ideas to yourself, or write about them ;) If you chance upon an opportunity where someone seems to really like to discuss ideas, it's not surprising you'd get a little carried away by excitement, but then wonder if you were too much. As if being this "too much" is a bad thing. I know it's not but the world could sometimes make you feel that way... which is why it felt very nice to be understood and reassured :)
