And relishing the vibrancy of life.

I think it's difficult pinning a liberal down. Because liberals are constantly on the move. They don't exactly know where they stand in the universe. Because of constant motion. They may be in location A at a given moment. But a bit later they are at location B. Or maybe ZZ. Liberals don't have to stay in one place. In fact, if liberals decide they want to be locked down and know specifically where they are at at all times, they become a conservative. That's the mark of a conservative. Wanting solid ground on which to stand. Never having to budge. That gives a conservative a sense of security. A warm and cozy feeling. A conservative is very much opposed to change. Wants everything to remain the same. To be able to bask in familiar surroundings. We liberals want to explore the universe. To be able to change our minds. And make new discoveries. We always want to know what lies beyond the horizon. Always finding new and better ways to live. We abhor stagnation. A conservative will cling to inefficient and grossly unfair and immoral concepts such as capitalism forever and ever. While a liberal will look for new and more efficient political, economic and social systems. Knowing there are better ways to live. Because conditions are constantly changing. One has to adapt. It's difficult living by 18th century conservative standards in the modern 21st century. Liberals tend to go with the natural flow. Living one day at a time. And making the best of change. And relishing the vibrancy of life. --Jim Broede
