Post Modernist boiiiiii

When saying you're a post-modernist, what you're saying is that you came after the modernist movement. Coming after the modernist era gave the creative minds behind it more to work with and sufficient reasons to have such backing of it. Seeing the world through the eyes of a post-modernist seems more logical to me than seeing it as a modernist. I like to think of the difference between the two in this sense. Here's the situation: There was a case a few months back in which there was a black male driving towards a hospital to see his dying grandmother. As he approaches the hospital, I believe he ran a stoplight. A cop then pulled him over upon entry to the hospital. He tried to explain that his grandmother was dying but the cop persisted that he stay in the area and not move. The man agreed to pay the ticket and had no argument, he just wanted to see his grandmother in her last ailing moments, but the cop still persisted that he not move. In all this time of argument the grandmother passed away, taking away the chance for that guy to see her before her death. The reason this helps me understand the modernist/post-modernist situation is because of the cop. Cops see black and white, but most know that there is a gray line. That gray line is their conscience stepping in and saying, "Although he just committed an infraction, I will allow him to step in and see his grandmother before her death, then deal him the penalty." Having this emotion is not what separates the modernist from the post-modernist, acting upon this emotion is the key factor that separates the two. I'm sure more than one of you have been pulled over for speeding or something similar and were let off with a warning. That is because some cops understand that a lesson can be learned without issuing a ticket (handing out a punishment). I believe I am easily a post-modernist, I do not see myself as an unbiased machine without an emmoticon to factor in my decisions. If we were all supposed to be modernists, then robots we would be, reading from the rules in life as if they were an instruction booklet never to be broken. There comes a time when all rules have their own flaws, being able to discern at the moment is what makes us human, and post-modernist.
