Romantic vs classic



Romantic and classical are two different ways that people understand things. A classical understanding sees the world as underlying form of itself and proceeds by reason and laws. The classic style is straightforward, economical, unemotional, and proportioned. Romantic understanding sees in terms of immediate appearance. Romantic understanding is inspirational, imaginative, and especially intuitive. Feelings dominate over facts in the romantic mind. 

I am a hybrid between romantic and classical but I am predominately classical. I like to analyse decisions rather than let my intuition and instincts take over. I don´t fully trust my feelings to guide me so I need to do research in order to make decisions. Education or at least the principle and ideas of it are important to me. I believe training is vital in order to reduce the amount of mistakes me make. I find myself sometimes worrying about how polite I am when engaging in conversations rather than being honest and genuine. I would never just tell someone how I feel about them to their face if it was negative.

I identify more as a realist than an idealist. I pay attention to what goes wrong rather than what would be ideal. High ideals make me nervous and am aware that things could be a lot worse while romantics are always furious with governments. Also, romantics rebel against the norm and thing popularity is mostly bad. I welcome routine and have seen extreme, so now I can be content with everyday life.

The narrator says,"both are valid ways of looking at the world although irreconcilable with each other". I believe this to be true because one is not right or wrong because they are personal and subjective. The views are opposites of each other so they can't exist in one mind together.
