brace yourselves kiddies
I recently found out that my blog audience is not mainly composed of cyber-crickets (excluding Eartha and my in-laws who are neither virtual creatures nor insects) ...and that some students actually read my junk. Yes, this is just a bunch of crap. ^_^ I love my cyberspace because it has been my virtual haven. A place where my anonymity allows me to blatantly display who I really am (sad background music please). I must warn my students that my views are simply that----my views. Opinions which, I must admit and overemphasize, tend to be faulty and hormonally induced.
My dear students, you are lucky to have the internet because knowledge is practically at your fingertips. You can basically ask yourself any question right now and have the answer with just a pinkie click of the Enter button....but you must learn how to scrutinize. You have your intellectual faculties to rely on when it comes to finding out whether what you're reading is valid or just a load of beautified excrement (such as this).
I hope that I did not drag you down and influence you to become the whiners of the future. Your potential to become the doers of this planet must never be weighed down by the cynicism of the elders. Mark Twain once said, keep away from people who belittle your dreams/ambitions...small people always do that, but great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great.
As for me, I'm still trying to internalize this quote that's written on my planner:
What we need is not merely to reform some bad habits or attitudes; we need to reorient our whole lives and rediscover authentic life, the universal dream of the human race.
As to how I can begin discovering authentic life?...I'm still trying to figure it out.
Amen.
