When I was a young(er) man, I had the mistaken impression that the human struggle was for truth and love. But as I watch this same scenario repeat itself in all human endeavors, especially politics, I have to wonder about it myself. It seems that a lot of these questions, hopefully bigger questions than broadhead design, only get answered as each generation passes into the forbidden country.

Civilization, and broadhead design, seem to march steadily toward betterment when viewed over the eon’s. But when viewed over a single life, progress is unsteady.

So choose your best broadhead, and your best ideas. But keep your eyes wide open and reconsider each critically for reason and purpose every time you have a new experience or obtain new knowledge. And give your fellow man the benefit of the doubt.

Steve,

Well said. thank you, dwc

There be those to whom nothing is good enough and then there be those that “there ain’t nothin’ better than what I got”.

Good we have both, the first to seek, improve and refine, the second to perhaps keep the first within the boundaries of tradition. It’s the bending in both directions that keeps us proceeding in and enjoying our spirit of tradition.

“So choose your best broadhead, and your best ideas. But keep your eyes wide open and reconsider each critically for reason and purpose every time you have a new experience or obtain new knowledge. And give your fellow man the benefit of the doubt.”

Words of wisdom, Steve, though I frequently have trouble with the last point.But then I’ve spent way too much time trying to deal with politicians.

So, you’re a closet Skeptic! Well, you’re outed now, amigo. 😛 (Weather allowing, I’ll be attending the monthly meeting of our local Freethinker’s Society here next week.)

R2,

Very wise observation.
