The Secret Of Wisdom

Posted by: | Comments (0)

“I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not, whereas when I do not know, neither do I think I know; so I am likely to be wiser than he to this small extent, that I do not think I know what I do not know.” -Plato

If only we could all be this wise….

On A Long Trip and A New Me

Posted by: | Comments (1)

This past weekend was busy. Crazy busy. Super crazy amazingly busy.

Last Thursday I jumped in a van with fifteen other college students. We drove halfway across the country and camped outside. There were no showers for three days. No hotel rooms or massages at spas. No large suitcases filled with my faveorite worldly treasures. No distractions. I have never had so much fun in my entire life.

I will not go into detail about what we were doing. But I will tell you we had a mission in that van. I will not tell you where we traveled because I try to stay in-confrontational.* I sensor myself on this blog. There is so much I don’t say and I don’t speak. I hope one day to stop censoring myself. But, I am not ready. (baby steps)

In this van of college students was philosophers, english majors, and art students. Some of the most well read brilliant young people I have ever met. We battled philosophy and the meaning of life for a good twelve hours never tiring.

I learned a lot.

I am scared of too many things. I need to face my fears.

I am addicted to technology and worldly pleasures. I need to re-assess.

I am distracted by my future. I need to focus on the present.

Humanity can live on nearly nothing. Why do I need so much?

So many big questions. So many new books to read. New music to try.

I feel changes coming. Not changes here. Not changes on Twitter but changes within me. Changes that will shake the world I live in.

Stick with me.

*If you really want to know where I went I am happy to share via email. I like to keep this blog public and when information is public..for me it is censored.
