| The warmer it gets, the less people wear, the more skin they show. Have you ever had a time in your life like there was so much potential? Like life is more than you but is completely about you. It's a strange feeling to put into words. I realize that I am living history. Funny thing history is, maybe that is why I love it. The study of the present in the future, ever think about it that way? We're going to war. As in everything the oppostition has a more intelligent arguement, or at least it seems like it. For me I am skeptical of the way a war is portrayed. I still support it, but I can come up with some very damaging questons about needing to go to war. I mean it feels like we've eliminated everyone else who is opposed to us. Now were going after a smaller insignificant opposition. I can't come up with a comparable analogy, but it's like winning all the heavy weight championships and then fighting in feather weight matches. It's almost a feeling that I have to support the war, and to a certain extent I do. I think it is a necessary evil, however it could do a lot of harm in the process. As far as social change goes, I feel like there is a new era on the horizon. We're stuck in this materialistic society that consumes everything and tries it's hardest to consume even basic human love such as love and happiness. We have replaced love with spending power. Although this isn't our doing (our parents generation), we allow it to continue. I was reading about how college student got fed up with being trained to be corporate clerks and that is what sparked the Freedom Summer of '68 and the Summer of Love in '69, where is that in our generation. People drink and party because, hell, what else is there to do. A lot more, it's just we don't believe that we can do anything about it. Sometimes I wonder if my fantasies aren't something everybody goes through. my dreams of writing, of having a real impact on society. it thought those dreams were unrealistic because I saw so many adults in places where there talents that would be great for those areas were instead in another profession. Perhaps they never had the dream. I do have my dreams like that. Jessa reminded me lately with her posts. It's the freshness of the ideas, the optimism. Not many people here have that. Not many people have that passion. Far too many people who have the Christian faith do not have the passion. They don't like to say things are wrong but they are. I want to have passion. Passion for life, passion for a cause, passion for my cause. I know there are people out there who agree with me, but not many make and idealistic transition from childhood to post-adolescense, and eve less into adulthood. So if your out there, no matter if I agree with you or not, if you hold that passion, I believe that our generation will be alright. |
