Difference

So I think I should be taking a break, I'm going to make to many mistakes.

So I've realized how much of what I read is stuff written by post-modern thinkers.
I wonder how this affects what I think, how I see the world, how it blinds me.
The truth is in many ways it is a post-modern world.

This is how I understand the difference.

The modern thinker sees the world as a puzzle to solve, and once it is answered, his job is to tell everyone the answer, and get people to join his cause. He tends to think more about individual ideas and individual people. A modern looks for the truth, he will argue forever to prove his point.

The post-modern person see's the world as a place where all the visible problems have an answer yet the world is still the same. A post-modern looks for something they can taste, touch, feel. They have been lied to many times. A post-modern will agree with everything you say yet can still disagree. A post-modern can believe something even though it is false just because they can feel it.

As you can probably tell I have strong post-modern ideas. It is true knowing the answer alone does not change a thing. We've been told that science, medicine, industrialization, religion will solve our problems, when really they can't and God never said they would.

Revelation 3
"17 Because you say. 'I am rich have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' -and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see."

These days answers are a dime a dozen. So don't tell people why your idea is better but show them.

To modern person it is all about professional presentation.
To a post-modern it is all about being real, joy and pain.
So you can see how they clash.

So God give us real gold
cover us in white
and heal our eyes
