Today feels impossibly heavy. I try to write a paper for school but my heart and mind are elsewhere, as is often the case lately. I am acutely aware of the injustices and suffering happening in the world around me yet I continue playing this role of graduate student, dutifully completing assignments. I wonder how so many people are capable of going about their business ignoring the elephant in the room. How are they/you doing it?? I don't know how to pretend any longer. When I stopped believing in christianity, I struggled with how to interact with people who still believed in it. It is weird being around people when the very foundation of their lives seems nothing more than an imaginary tale. That's how I feel again. Sort of alone in this world where everyone goes on believing in this weird money based system. It's only as real as we make it. It seems so silly and unreal to me, such a restraint on our true potential.
