They used to say at 12 step stuff, whatever clean time you have is a good start for today. I guess some of them would use their amount of time as a cause for bragging and such. But I took the principle and applied it to learning and life in general. I tend to clash somewhat with "adults" because they so often give the impression that they've arrived and are just looking back, in the way they interact with younger people on sites.

I'm not saying the helmet boy approach to politics that I'm perceived as having is the right one by any means either. I am saying that there is something to be said for being in the moment, being open and teachable, non dogmatic and letting a story exist on it's own before prejudgment and/or partisanship have any place. If three or four people try to tell me something which essentially is the same thing, it's usually a good idea to figure out what they're saying rather than digging my feet in deeper.
