I really don't want to write this ethics paper. I mean its interesting and on internet therapy, but I'd rather be outside in the pretty weather, hang out with jessica (assuming she is off work), watch the world cup soccer game, something else. I've been glancing at old stuff from the mountain. Its amazing to see how much I have changed in some ways and how little I have changed in others. I'm still the girl who doesn't want to squish the spider or bug but would rather take it outside (except for mosquitos, roaches, and fruit flies). Also how much I change in just a year or a couple of months. I'm trying hard than before to work and live by the 7 principles:
* The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
* Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
* Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
* A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
* The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
* The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
* Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Although I'm not perfect at this I still try. I'm am still the soft hearted girl who doesn't want to see she cares about people hurt and therefore will shoot herself in the foot before she even thinks about hurting someone else. Still self conscious in some ways but is trying to grow out of them. I see how I respect my parents more and more. I see how hard they have worked to get to where they are and how hard they continue to work to maintain this house, this family, and our lives. I must say that I respect them less in how they are dealing with my brother and I growing up, especially in relation to my brother who I think needs a swift kick in the pants. I still have an independent streak a mile wide which is closely followed by my curiosity streak and my compassion. I hope life becomes good again soon, not just ok.
