When answering the question of "Top Gun" versus "The Lakehouse" yesterday, my immediate response was "Top Gun of course ... does The Lakehouse even begin to compare?".
Today, in thinking further about my answer, I think I gained an insight about myself. While I am certainly up for an adventure and a challenge, I also cling to what I know. I am traditional in that sense. The situation may appear to be novel but my perception is of a scene from days gone by.
So of course I opted for Top Gun. It's a classic. And I find comfort in the familiar.
