korafoxSah...sometimes I just feel like such a kid in a big adult's world. Every time it feels like I have a grasp on current events and know enough to make an informed opinion, it turns out I don't. I'm just parroting back things I've heard or read, with no understanding. And it's hard, trying to reconcile reason and facts when much of I believe is based on, well, my beliefs. My sense of morality and ethics. I try to have compassion, be humane toward everyone....and then I have to remember to support what I say in terms those who don't share my sentiments can understand and possibly agree with.
La. I should take more time out, learn more things. Read more things, about people everywhere. Try to feel with them, for them...and yet, isn't it so that we can only truly sympathize with a person when we've walked in their shoes? Life for me is paradise compared to what most of the people on this planet live through....I've never had to worry where my next meal would come from; I've always had access to quality education and all the information I could want. Even the place I live is beautiful. Is it strange to wish for suffering and hardship? Although I'm sure it's only out of some sort of guilt at my blessings rather than a sincere desire to experience what so many others do.
Well, knowledge must come before innovation I suppose. I will try to be better, to others and in my own thoughts.
