Unstuck

​Ideology has a purpose
A guiding point of view
Much evolved through history
Transmitted to me and you
 
Some are all encompassing
Others narrow and lean
Realms of thought eternal
Visions of concepts unseen

Philosophy and politics
Religion and economy
Conceptual perspectives
Categorical taxonomy

Enlightenment, discovery
Scientific process to learn
Natural law and understanding
Closer to truth each experimental turn

Proof is so elusive
Ideas build in iterative fashion
With mind open to possibility
Whole hearted faith to be rationed

Concepts evolve like nature
Getting better all the time
Some wisdom seems eternal
Inspired by the divine

Standing firm for millennia
Still relevant and true
When new facts upend tradition
Update beliefs and expand your views

When old views become unwieldy
Crowding new thoughts from your head
Clear out the cobwebs of irrelevance
Seek true understanding instead

Dogmatic and fixed in mindset
Unmoving and unbending
Will leave you in the dust of history
Broken hearts and hatred sending

Keep your purpose and priorities
Good principles guide the way
Be open and creative
Aware of what you do and say

Progress is a natural process
Change and growth always consistent 
Free mind from obsolescence
Unstuck from stubborn persistence
