And though my words are far from beautiful They are my own And I guess that's all I can ask for Right now ---------- I am endlessly optimistic when it comes to the potential of my peers. How (and if) they'll use that potential... well, I guess it's up to them. ---------- I can definitely see why idealism could be a flaw--I don't want to be blinded or misled by what I want to see. I want to see the world for what it is. But at the same time, I don't want to just gesture vaguely and say everything's terrible, that people are lazy and cruel, and that things are only going to get worse. (That's blindness too, I think.) The truth is, the world is real and something has to be working or else we would have killed each other off by now. The truth is, if we accept that things are terrible and it can't be changed, no one will try to fix it and things really won't change. The truth is, we may never reach our ideals but we'll be a lot better off for trying. --------- Being introspective for too long makes me feel flat, deflated, dull; like a rubber band that, once stretched, no longer returns to its original shape. --------- I believe in building a world that is not designed to break
Heyyy would you look at that I'm actually writing my philosophical musings down in prose form now. (Some day I may even reach coherency) -Atlas
