global visions
March 10, 2008
In my social studies class, I had an argument with a more or less close friend of mine. He got me quite angry actually
I can’t write neutrally about this. I’m realllly annoyed. How can people be so visionless? How can somebody waste his life, breathing on materialism and not letting these earthly things go? How can people live their lives with the only vision of earning as much money as they possibly can? How could that ever be fulfilling?
I must admit I’m not the selfless person I try to be. My mind is consumed by worry and concern for others, because it makes me feel better knowing I care.
I just don’t understand others. Maybe I’m just a freak. Yes, that indeed.
Anyway, I can’t write more than that today. I’ve been feeling down and confused lately. So until next time. But in old fashion, a last word: “Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.”*
* Nancy Astor (1879 – 1964), British politician
