We're supposed to talk about all the posts we've made on our blogs. I'm not sure what to say, but I can tell you that my posts seem to have a general theme to them - how do we view the world around us?
Mainly I tend to revert back to politics and international crisises, mostly because it's the most absurd yet the most real thing that exists. People are dying in the Middle East, children are being exploited in China, and I'm living perfectly happy in Hawaii. If you think about it, and you realize that all humans are inherently born the same (ignoring our respective financial situations at time of birth), it's almost surreal to see what goes on around us. So much can change when we're under pressure - 'playing in the clutch', if you will.
So how should we live our lives? This is the important question here. I've realized, even more so than before, that the answer to this question is practically a puddle of grey matter. Should we risk ourselves by working with others or should we just strive to create the best life for ourselves in the short time we are alive? I'm not necessarily talking about making money here, but who is the focus? Do we make up the world together as a single entity, or is "our world" just how each of us perceive an arbitrary environment?
Ironically, while trying to answer our essential questions, I've managed to create more.
