This is the first post on our new blog, A Rare Blue Flower. Here, we present you with our mission statement, the reason for this blogs existence and some of the motives for its creation.
The blog 'A Rare Blue Flower' was created by a group of young men as a response to what they see as the collective decay of the world around them from an intellectual and aesthetic point of view. The creators feel that this trend is particularly prevalent amongst their many 'young professional' or 'ute' peers, who are too absorbed by 'how busy their lives are' to instead take time to appreciate them as they go flying past. In an effort to combat this societal atrophy, the blog, a modern medium, was chosen to disseminate our message to as many as possible, before it is too late. Here, scholarship of any type, on any topic, is championed, and the contributions of readers in the form of comments, questions, and guest posts, are encouraged. At worst, this blog shall serve as an appropriate locale for our pointless intellectual musings; at best, it will develop a readership and foster greater discuss of art and culture, and most of all, encourage independent and original thought. We take our name from a favored symbol amongst us, representative of desire, love, and most of all, the striving for the infinite and unreachable.
We hope that this blog does not just become some flash in the pan, but rather continues ad infinitum, pursuing the goals outlined in the above statement. The first full post will be up in the next week or two.
