Hi Andy,
Your "swimming in the stream" metaphor and explanation says nothing
about morals. So to claim it's a metaphor for the MOQ is a stretch to
say the least. The MOQ is all about morals. Your conclusion seemed to
be that it's better not to cling to one set of beliefs, a conclusion I
presume we shouldn't cling to either. But I didn't see any rationale
to support that conclusion.
The MOQ states as an axiom that some things are better than others,
then proceeds to answer what, where, when, how and why that axiom
creates the world. A good metaphor of the MOQ would do the same, or at
the least suggest that the MOQ is about morality, not about "letting go
of society."
Anyway, I liked Richard Bach's "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" metaphor
better. I'd rather fly with the angels than bump along the bottom of a
stream. :-)
