How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.
Wow. That... rocks. Just thought I'd share :)
I'd rant while I have this box open, but I seriously feel like I'm on painkillers or something... Except without the lack of pain, of course :P Just the lack of connection and all. Bah. It's been like this for hours. I wonder what's wrong... I bet they poisoned my pizza and I'm gonna wind up dead tomorrow :P Sooo... Dan, I leave it to you to sue the Pizza Hut Express on my campus. Mwahahaha. And you and Erica and split all ym stuf amongst yourselves.
Actually, I think I've felt like this since the bio test... But I was fine during work, no idea why. Then I get food and come back, and it's this again... I should go sleep now. That might help. I wonder if it's a more serious semi-migraine than I've had ever? Cause I got that one-sided headache... and dizziness. That's all. So it's a semi-migraine :P Cause I haven't died yet.
Word of the day:
list·less adj.
Lacking energy or disinclined to exert effort; lethargic
EDIT: Tried to go to sleep. Now am feeling puky :( Have decided I have food poisoning. Will not be enjoyable. Specially since I can't sleep feeling puky. Ish. It hurts too much. :(
