Personal Thoughts on: conservatism

PERSONAL THOUGHTS

Hello guys!
And welcome to my personal thoughts section!

So yesterday I was in university's ancient Greek literature class and our professor steps in the class and he looked like he came out of a 60's movie. And I'm like "okay people can dress however they want aye?" So he started speaking and of course there was a huge argument about young people and their values and "the way" that he thinks "young people SHOULD be"...
   
  You know what? I think that sometimes we have to accept that some things are actually happening in our world. Don't get me wrong though: it's good to be critical about anything but we cannot deny that "change" is happening. And we cannot judge other people's life choices and way of living because it's their F'in busyness, and my teacher's busyness was to teach me about ancient Greek philosophers in depth but instead of that he went hating on us for the way "we are" I swear he doesn't even know our names and literally anything about us!

   And then he started replying to me about values like that:
"Yes, but Plato said..." and mentioned some passages of a book of his... Well I've read Platonic philosophy and yes he said some very wise things... for people living in 428 B.C! And I answered with "Yes, but Plato lived in the 4th century B.C. his sayings are mostly irrelevant with our society. You seem to have an obsession with being conservative while thinking that Plato was a miracle for humanity, but let me tell you Sir that Plato was a Hell of an innovative mind with brand new ideas to bring to the world back then, in the other hand you are trying to keep the old kind of living and be old-fashioned which is completely the opposite of Socrates' and Plato's beliefs" 
    He answered by saying that I'm wrong and when I asked "why?"
he said that he has to move on with his lecture... Right... When it comes to conservative people, I really don't want any freaking near me, they make me mad...

I'm sorry about the ranting, I hope you enjoyed it!



This was an incident that caused some thoughts I really wanted to express!
