I am currently sitting in my philosophy class, where we are watching a movie on hinduism. Over the past week we have been studying hinduism. Prior to this unit, we studied many philosophers ranging from Socrates and Plato to Descartes and Sartre. Now that's all great and wonderful, but what's my point...? I'm getting there...
In this class we've learned SO MANY different perspectives and it got me to thinking. We all, (mainly westerners) are kind of stuck in our world. Our world of crafting, small businesses, 'deadlines' for finishing projects, school, work, etc. All these things filling our life, flitering in and out with little meaning.
When you look around the world, there are so many cultures, and so many that are UNLIKE our own. I don't know a lot, but I do know that there are so many different cultures where a person's 'time' is more valuable than what they actually 'get done' meaning, it's not all about filtering in and out of projects.
So what is my meaning with all of this? Well, I'm making a change. Other people are welcome to join me in this change, but by no means does anyone have to. I am going to start focusing more on family, on what I am grateful for, and not so much 'projects' that yes have meaning, but may not have everyday meaning. My point is, find meaning to your day, don't let it just be another day. I personally am sick and tired of living this fast paced life...I want to enjoy everyday for what it's worth.
So. This post was a little bit out there, a little bit scatterbrained and all over the place, but it was meant to get people thinking. I hope that my point was gotten across, if anyone has any questions, ideas, or comments, feel free to leave them! I love feedback and hearing other's ideas!
I will leave ya'll with this, VERY blurry pic. This is Liam, dressed as Aaron Rodgers. Liam is 6 years old, and lives each day to the fullest better than anyone I know. A lesson can be learned from those around us, even if those people are little ones :)
