There was an interesting quote on Global Conciousness (the latest time waster to grace my google homepage) today and I think it's been the theme of my current semester. The quote, to paraphrase, was about war and how if war was the answer to anything, the war to end all wars would've done just that. What the war really is, is us. And in order to end wars, we need to begin with ourselves and mend relationships with our neighbors and our friends.
I thought that made a lot of sense. It's sounds so obvious and so easy but it's not.
I was down at the homeless shelter again tonight (i try to make every thursday) and everytime, it's just a very humbling experience. I met this awesome woman today who is leaving the shelter soon. Sometimes I think the people are the shelter are more fun to hang out with than people at Smith. We don't need to be politically correct. And the conversation never feels contrived. That's what I really miss about college, natural conversation. Me and Trina (who lives upstairs.) had a long conversation about dumb middle school frienships. And our "friends" who would go on power trips and make us feel worthless. That's why we love facebook. WHen those people add us as their friends. REJECT! Actually, i never do that. I just let them stay uncomfirmed. But that's so silly. Why do I still hold middle school grudges? Actually, I don't. I don't care at all. I'm such an awkward person when I talk to people my own age. Why?
I have econ homework.
