"Just because you can, does not mean you should" - great advice
The other day I went to a free concert by a trubute band to the Beatles. I like the Beatles. Even though I do not know all of their songs, the popular ones I do know.
While enjoying the multi-generational crowd I listened to the music. All of a sudden a group of senior citizens jumped up and got on the make shift dance floor in front of the stage. They did the unthinkable.
They started dancing. Not just any kind of dancing. It was line-dancing to the Beatles. Just when you think you have heard and seen it all I was shocked. It did not make sense to force line dancing to the beatles. That generation did not line dance when they first heard the Beatles. But now they know how to line dance and they are foce fitting it to the past. It is like forcing a square peg into a round hole. It just does not fit.
Today's question is:
"Do you try to force your preconceived notions to all concepts?"
