Straight-up, I am tired of having to apologize for my reading and writing habits.Even worse, I find myself having to hide many of my talents and tastes.Since when has Eclectic become a dirty word? And who determines what is appropriate for me? I am perfectly capable of making that judgment for myself. Because others do not understand it makes it wrong for me? Well it isn’t.Off the beaten path you will find a host of stimulating things whether it is literature, music, or philosophy. You may discover some understanding, a strain of enlightenment you had afore then lacked. It wouldn’t be so bad if we were to gain some knowledge, compassion and empathy along the way.
