I’m not good at dealing with death. Philosophically I think of death as just a momentary milestone on an eternal journey, but I’m still not comfortable when I find out that someone in my community has died. I’m not sure what to say to the person’s family and loved ones. I’m not sure whether to give them something, what to give, or the right time to give it. I’m much older than most of you on ProgressiveU, but I’m still learning.
For just about all of my life, I have lived in apartments and in other people's homes. Even when I had moved out on my own, nothing was ever truly mine. I was constantly in situations that threatened the need to move on once again.
I have came to a realization that I do not want to be an Dental Hygientist anymore. I don't want to spend the rest of my life cleaning people's teeth. This was hard for me to admit because now I feel like a lost puppy not knowing where to go now. But there is still hope.
I have a question that has been plaguing me.
Why are you going to college? Is it so that you can get a good career?
I've been looking around myself at my fellow college students and I can't help but wonder why they're here. Are they honestly motivated by a need for a career? Are they truly in pursuit of a reality that consists of repetition and ritual?
Have you ever just sat a lone and thought about the life of others. Like why people think the way they do. For example, why some people think its okay to call things gay or retarded and others don't. What makes things right or wrong in our own eyes? Most would like to say its parenting, but is it? Our parents tell us what is wrong, but most go ahead and do it any way.
I think the best part of life is learning. We continue to learn as long as we let ourselves. I decided to make a list for you and I so we can remember what's really important in life.
