Shifting Paradigms...won't that cause the Earth to buckle at the core?
I am currently experiencing that age old adage of a paradigm shift. The way I look upon the world is going through a more drastic change. I feel like I can take on the world, but am once in constant worry. My last two writing projects have shown great promise in my abilities as a writer and cognitive thinker. To think, that perhaps there will be a book deal in my future soon, all thanks to MY own future history.
This shift in my outlook upon the world reflexs the growing confidence building up inside of me. In social situations I am more at ease, and therefore able to converse, joke around, and debate with more intelligence than ever before. More importantly, I am beginning to be able to not only take people in arguments but beat them at their own game. No longer do I constantly get emotionally charged when someone shows me the slightest rift with my own personal views. I am taking a stand with people and how they treat me, this perhaps is why my social groups, my friends, and those dearest to me have been changing recently. The groups I hung out with three years ago I rarely see anymore. (This is perhaps the ultimate liberation because I now feel like an equal among my peers, rather than an inferior "denominational" type.
It is interesting-just my relations with friends. I understand now that I can never live in rural indiana and have a postive outlook at the world. I cannot get along with people from rural areas, especially ones from indiana. I'm just too liberal minded to be stuck in a neo-conservative backwoods society. Is isn't odd then that most of my friends are either from completely different countries, or are from the East coast of the U.S. These people I get along with, the liberal minded (by that I mean open to others viewpoints-basically putting themselves in the other persons shoes. Conservatives can be liberal minded as well, if this appears in any way as a political liberal rant) are in an echelon beyond mere humanity.
My fate with the world seems set. I still don't know whether or not I will go to law school. I sure feel that is still the area that I am supposed to go, but perhaps not right away. Perhaps in a year or two when i get beyound the next paradigm shift in my life, I will be ready for law school. Regardless, I was supposed to be an English major, I was supposed to take this Science Fiction course, I was supposed to study Heinlein's Future History series and thereby relate it to my own life, I was supposed to go to Wabash, and with that, I was supposed to not worry about my relations with the opposite sex. It is the persistant who always fail in this last regard, and therefore my persistance of worrying about the opposite sex that tends to make me loose focus on the grander picture.
