Just some thoughts

[lorijoan]

I've come to a conclusion. People are all the same in some manner. It doesn't matter who you are or how different you can possibly be from someone, you have at least ONE common thread. For example, you both wear clothes. There's a start. You both drink water. That's a necessity. There's TWO things any person has in common w/another person

i believe that this common thread you speak of can stretch beyond the physical realm.

(i miss merowskees class... we could talk for weeks on the implications of zen... lousy trying to fit something qualitative into the quantitative ap environment... bah)

I fully agree w/you that it can stretche beyond the physical realm. I just point out the physical realm in this case as starters because so often, people forget how to find something past physical that they have in common. Thus, if people find a good starting place such as that then maybe they can work their way up to find more and more things in common?

And yeah, I do quite miss Murawski's class. Often times I'll be here and think about how differently a subject would be going if only Murawski were there to lead the thought on it.

that was exciting to read! i always try to live by all of those. theyre pretty quality. and everyone misses murawskis class! and by the way, how do you that cool link-y thing? i havent figured that out yet

Hehe, glad you enjoyed those. I as well try to live life by those, but sometimes it can be so difficult. Ah well, at least the TRY part is there?

I think that despite the fact that I didn't much care for high school, or even school in general, for various reasons, Murawski's class will have been one of the best experiences of my life! He is just an amazing teacher. I feel bad that we kinda took advantage of him a bit at times, but in the end it all worked out...lol. There were some good memories there :) And to think, I wasn't even originally scheduled to be in that class...that would've been a tragedy.

And, the link-y thing info can be found here: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75 :D

i felt out....cuz i had merowskee! okay for like half a semester but STILL! IM ASIAN! WE HAD A BOND!!! you know, and the white guy/asian girl dating thing??! COME ON! okay maybe not. but anyways. i really liked those zen cards. ive been slowly reading them because i cant process them all at once....its intense, man.

Moral of the story: Murawski rules! :D

I'm happy to hear you liked them :) I know what you mean by the slow processing. I was going to buy a book full of zen sayings in addition to the cards but then I thought maybe I should just work on these ones I have for now and then consider more...lol. Cuz you are right, definitely intense!
