Pendulums and patience
There's a nice post at Color Addict on a restaurant that sounds really delicious (Applewood in Brooklyn) but it's the remark at the end of the piece that I reacted most strongly to. I am a big believer in the pendulum theory of the universe whereby extremes are an important and necessary part of progress. I no longer get wild about things that I hate to see politically or socially because wait a while and things will go back the other way, probably too far on that side. In the end, in the long run, things will balance out and another subject will take center stage. I don't mean to sound laissez faire or as if I don't care, just that I have a sense of patience and forbearance that I didn't have when I didn't recognize there are big pictures about many things.
