Adapting from Youthful Absolutes

My old editor at the Amplifier in Bowling Green, Kentucky paid me the honor of quoting me in a social media discussion she was having.  She reminded the fellow of my words to him in an earlier discussion about the fallacy of seeing the world in black and white.  I said:

"I'm old enough and have enough life experience to know that the conservatism of my youth does not explain the world sufficiently or answer all of life's problems. I've had to grow and adapt, and I've had to shed youthful absolutes. I don't like the damned shades of gray instead of black and white, but such is living in the real world."
