I think that shows up in how much the generation(s) seem(s) to be struggling to find something to fight for... That's one of the reasons I intend to be a philosophy professor--to teach the younger generations about what love and justice and truth are through the minds of such writers as Plato and Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine.

Sadly enough, I have to say this is true for myself. My spotty wifi causes me to panic and sweat whenever I can't get online. I try telling myself, "It's not that big a deal! Your new emails will all be spam and nobody does anything important on Facebook! Pick up the phone and call people! Read a book, watch a movie, play your guitar!" But the idea that I can't depend on my internet 24/7 is disconcerting, indeed.

That's very true for my generation nowadays, it's like. . . I really don't know how to explain it, haha, but I only wish some of us would just grow up. These types of things grow on you, and loose morals aren't really the best asset in this world.

to quote you (not in a suck up way), i want to fight for something and i want to deem something worthy to die for. it's funny, because as humans we desire both to become individuals with our own thoughts and actions, but we also have an innate desire to be accepted and part of a group. i guess one of the points of our existence is to find a balance of the two.

Bumped (almost literally) into him on campus today. I took the off chance that he would reply to a simple, polite "hello," and I was quite pleasantly rewarded with a "good afternoon."

As for the quote, nothing to contradict. A very wise, straightforward man :) Plus, he looks like David Crowder somewhat.

the six word memoir

Image
there is a (not so) current writing trend that is really pretty profound. short but profound. what it is is that authors, writers, and such are writing their whole memoir in just 6 words. some creative ones that i have found are... Nobody cared, then they did. Why? - Chuck Klosterman 70 years, few tears, hairy ears. - Bill Querengesser "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn" -Ernest Hemingway recently people have been putting pictures to their 6 word memoir and they have been incredible. here are some on this NPR LINK . so i think it would be great if each one of us did one about ourself. perhaps post a photoshopped picture and 6 words, or just your 6 word memoir all on its own. either way, i think it would be so interesting to see each others lives in a simple 6 words. HERE IS MINE: .............. LEFT BEHIND A LEFT BEHIND CHILD .................... alternates for mine: always looking, never finding. feeling found. lonely child found fame, lost self. -stephen so SO many good ones...

mankind gives life to machine!

before the sudden burst of technological advancements mankind had to communicate using old fashion methods of 'talking face to face' & interpreting the body language presented which are both now as we know a barbaric and primitive form of interpersonal communication. now that we have deemed it obsolete we have to issue a new set of rules that go along with our newly formed communicational evolution. it seems to me you can NOT take the ‘old outdated ways of communication’ and apply it to the new way of computerized advancement. for instance: my brother was giving me his honest opinion in an email of something i created. even though it was a negative opinion i appreciated it because i would much rather brutal honesty then yes men. because i didn’t email him back right away, because i was working on something else, he took lack of response as a sign that i was upset or mad. tsk tsk paul for thinking that we live in the barbaric days where if i was silent after you said someth...

PACIFISM.

this is one of the hardest topics for me to discuss, so im going to keep a running tab on thoughts here till i come to my own conclusion. tolstoy, ghandi, martin luther king jr., gk chesterton. and the list of pacifist's grow. this should seem like such an easy and logical decision. war= not good. death. killing. peace= contentment, stability, life. but when you have grown up in a country where the church, state, and weaponry have all blurred into the same entity it is a much harder decision to come to. there are SO MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE on this blog, just read through the comments! my LORD! you guys are brillant. ang said "There is a time and a place for everything, it depends on the situation." but i would like to hear the situations in which violence is necessary. defend yourself? your family? but what about war, when do we have to kill? 'one murder made a villain, millions a hero'. your right ang this is hard because i would defend my family to the death wh...
