Second-hand Thinking

Second-hand Thinking

This year will be one of temptation, temptation to petulant rebellion. I do not wish to appear at all avuncular, but it is natural, to vary the figure, that you should be a little eager to try your wings. Unless you are fortunate enough to have parents who can put rings around you intellectually, you are going to feel something of a pundit in the home, a trifle superior intellectually, and the temptation will be to discard old tradition and old beliefs simply because they are your parents', and the heritage of another generation.
