Something to do.
Most of my thought has been directed at institutional ideas, the groups that promote thoughts in others that I disagree with. Of coarse this was always just thinking and sometimes commenting with my own thoughts.

But I really don't have any institutional groups I am thinking about now.

So hows this, a transition from institutions that promote ideas I don't like. To individuals or groups that promote isolation of ideas. Or group think used to isolate thought by limiting interaction.

I am thinking that they should be my focus just to have something to do. Since limiting thought, would be just as counter productive, in my opinion, as thought that I personally have different thoughts about.

Any comments on the social morality of limiting thought from being shared, verses, opposing ideas debated and discussed.

Would not the stifling of an idea only be needed if a group knew their idea was inferior to a rebuttal?

2. what might it mean.
In an odd twist of fates, with no self claim, nor self interpretation of meaning, I corrolate your song of the pilgrim in your signature, with a story of one such man.

It even has a ring in it, harkening back to the common story of ring of power, and conflicts with dictates of what is just and what is sin.
