Ways of Looking at the World

1.) romantic vs. classical

     When one is said to be a romantic, they are referring to the carefree and spontaneous way of life. The opposite would be a classical view of human understanding. A romantic is one who sees things from a distance to the natural form of things and doesn't go much deeper in logic and understanding of it. They are to be more spontaneous and emotional to the art form of things. In contrast, the there is the classical understanding. They are emotionless and use rule book logic to structure the basic thinking of the world around them. These two kinds of people are very different from one another and there is no right way of thinking. Both have its views of human understanding have their benefits and potholes in best making sense of the world to us.
     I find myself to be in a bit of both worlds of a romantic and classical. A part of me is a romantic in such that I find interest in anything new from the surface and get involved with many things simply because it appeals to my emotion at the moment. I quickly lose interest as soon as it takes me longer than average to grasp the content of something. To read between the lines is time consuming when I could have been out doing other new things that the world has to offer.
       However at times, I do notice myself dismissing a lot of things simply because I know nothing about it, find it too complicated to read between the lines, and as a result become confused. So at these moments my classical mind takes over and finds passion and I turn towards more of a classical approach. In these instances, I educate myself so I am no longer unsure of what it is I find of interest to me now that i have educated myself to what it is.
       Coming from having to compromise with the two worlds of romantic and classical, I do agree that these are irreconcilable with each other. Personally, I find that these do not work well together and when I try to juggle both viewpoints I get very frustrated. These two views of human understanding interfere with one another and repel each other's viewpoints. If you try to balance the two and have them exist at the same time, they conflict and don't allow you to move on to what you are trying to understand.
