Content.
August 07 2005
---i'm re-posting part of my last entry because i think it's important and i want people to actually read it.
i guess i'm content. speaking of contentment, wow. i'm beginning to realize a pattern within all of the books that i have to read for summer. all of them deal with discontented people. almost everyone in these stories is angry about or unhappy with their lives. and anyone who actually seems content is portrayed as bourgeois or stupid. as if the only way to be truly intelligent and enlightened is to be restless and unhappy. how sad. that seems to be the consensus view in today's world. and i just don't agree. so many people around me seem to think that if something was part of their youth, or was taught to them by their parents, that it is automatically wrong and passe. like as soon as you leave your home, you should discard all of your former beliefs. what a crock. people don't seem to understand that a true indicator of an enlightened person is contentment and peace. ---Cari
