I think life's thene for the moment is something to the effect of "what's really imprtant" and all that junk. i've been reading farenheit 451 and watching Consumption and it's just making me look at life. I guess i'm taking a dose of Zeimians thinking but when you look aroung the cafeteria at all the people in all the brand names and realize the are -all- made in poor countries by people hugly under paid and equally overwork. All those clothes. And then we sit around the TV and critisize the stupid people on TV when in act your brain thinks more when you're asleep then when you're watching the average TV show.
On top of this I'm also gettting ready for my trip to panama and part of that is reading about places and missionaries and just seeing all the thousands of uncountable people that die for their causes that we never hear about, what we do hear is "3 Americans killed today in our war on terror" and it just makes me sad and angry and I wish people could be more concious of it all.
I know people can live thinking like that all the time -less they turn into Mrs. Zeimian- and I know I'm not ready to actually do something like i'd like. It sort of follows the philosophy "the begining of wisdom is knowing you don't know everything" the begining of being a missionary is knowing you can't serve people, I guess it's one of the more extremist points of christianity, but if ogic follows. It's comforting to say "I have to go." It's not to say "I have to work first"
I suppose like it or not I've got time for more tham I like to think. Well there's you're deep thought for the day. It's what I've been upto if nothing else.
