Postmodernism In A Nutshell, I Think...

So the whole mumbo jumbo about the centers and stuff actually makes perfect sense. Well, I mean its easy to understand how it works. Its really not so easy to understand why it is like that though... So centers: One person or group of people believe that one ideal or opinion is the right one, and so that is now their center. But a group of different people don't, so they have different opinions with a different center. Get it? A lot of times, one person's center is an actual whole other group that has another center. Okay, I'll give an example. A large group of people use to think that Jewish people were not the ideal kind of person on this earth. However, obviously the Jews thought differently, so they had a different notion of what this ideal type of person should be. The Jews being the center of a group, are actually also the group supporting another center. Now, all of these centers collide and intermix to make crazy new centers and new groups. It's never ending. Going back to how I think itsw not so easy to understand... Take the Nazis for example. How can so many people believe that the white supremisist "center" is the right one to believe in? But at the same time, I'm sure they thought the same about others' opinions and so-called centers. Its weird when you finally sit down and think about it. Because if there are so many centers, but no one can decide on what one is the right one, how does anybody know what is the truth? How do we know when one notion is right and one notion is wrong? This type of thinking is mind boggling and it's pretty much what postmodernism is in a nutshell; looking outside of the box that makes up one person or group's mind; looking beyond what we know, or what we think we know. I would sum up the ideals of postmodernism as not being afraid to think for yourself.
