My Middle Name
It is amazing to look into society over the years (in Christ's time and ours) and see how little things have changed despite Socrates's insight on justice. I still see the act of "treat friends with kindness, hurt the enemy". It's such a biased, warlike form of "justice". The justice of following honesty and law was even heretical at times, yes? The pharisees proved that. I just feel sorrow for Soctrates and Christ, that society looks past their teachings which are similar in ways. It would truly make our lives easier if we were educated. Fighting ignorance and drudgery must be a great treasure that many take from but to which they never give back. Education, in turn, has become a a pot that each greedy hand has taken from without analyzing and using it to better the world. It is all for the American Dream now. What have we done?

I agree. I do wish more people were educated. HOWEVER, I personally believe life is way too fleeting to stop and analyze everything and everyone. Sure, I question why I was brought to this world as much as the next guy, but in the end...Who really knows? Nobody.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I live my life how I want to and that all my actions are my own and mine alone.
