Main Servant Takes Over.

No, this is not the sassy, sometimes big-mouthed Galgo speaking. She had to step back for this one - which doesn't mean she will pop up here every now and then, but this is Main Servant taking over.
There is a lot going on inside my head, many many thoughts on a wide variety in subjects. To the core of all this frantically flashing synapses is a profound curiousity. I guess this is why I became an historian and a teacher. Being curious = being alive. The worst assumption in life is to assume you know it all. I know a lot, but on the larger scale of things, I am totally clueless. As a professional, I need to look at something from all angles before making an informed decision or informed opinion. Which is sometimes difficult, since we humans seem to be geared to respond to a gut feeling or what one of my collegues once called a primary response. Which is okay too, as long as one is willing and able to give the issue a second look. Which unfortunately, more often than not is overlooked.

Now if you think this blog is going to be 100% unbiased and a haven of objectivity, think again. There will be very biased things written here, very gut-motivated things too. Because that's usually step one in the thinking process, and I love to press people's buttons and challenge them. I sometimes will be coaxing you, my dear readers, out of your comfort zones, but sometimes I'll also be kicking your ass right out of your comfort zones. Startle you into thinking, reacting. Sometimes I can also be downright opinionated. Of course I'd like to hear your response when I am, because I can learn from that. Or discard it, if I totally disagree with your critisism. After all, we're all free spirits here.

You see, the funny thing is, many things that are screwed up in this world wouldn't be like that if only enough people would give it some thought. And the world is very very rarely black and white, I'm looking for the shades of grey and the black & white, not or - or but and.  I am already looking forward to your reactions!
