A Look in the Mirror
You Have Low Self Esteem 32% of the Time
Generally, you feel pretty darn great about who you are, even when you mess up or fail. Occasionally, a huge setback will make you question yourself, but you pick yourself up quickly.
How is Your Self Esteem?
I like to think this is true. But perhaps I'm just cheating myself.
Other thoughts creeping up today:
1) I've made it my mission to save people... Most likely in order to somehow save myself. From *what* though? And is this like being the crazy cat lady, just with people?
2) I don't want it to get dark today.
It seems odd that it should, inappropriate. I have no idea why I feel that way. I'm not religious. And actually had to look up the exact meaning of Good Friday after it occured to me that it's today. Is this some archtypical conditioning thing? Collective unconscious?
I have no explanation for this thought, and it's a first. Religion interests me in a theoretical way only... historical, sociological, as it relates to much of world history, customs, traditions, social dynamics just about anywhere. Reading up on today's holiday was interesting in its own right.
Some Wiki excerpts:
Good Friday is a holy day celebrated by most Christians on the Friday before Easter. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. Special prayer services are held with readings from the Gospel of the events leading up to the crucifixion. Mainstream Christian churches view Christ's crucifixion as a voluntary and vicarious act, and one by which, along with resurrection on the third day, death itself was conquered.
Many Protestant communities hold special services on this day. In the German Lutheran tradition from the 16th to the 20th century, this was the most important holiday. It was the prime day on which to receive Holy Communion, and services were often accentuated by special music such as the St. Matthew Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Some Baptist, many Sabbatarian and non-denominational churches do not celebrate Good Friday, instead observing the Crucifixion on Wednesday to coincide with the Jewish sacrifice of the Passover Lamb (which Christians believe is an Old Testament pointer to Jesus Christ).
