I have been getting a little blog happy lately, but oh well. This is how I get when my brain is working a lot and I need to get things off my mind. Now the things that are setting my mind to racing aren't really going to be talked about in this blog, but the random thoughts I come up with to keep my mind off of said things will be.
Lately I have been in a philosophical mood and a few interesting questions have come to mind.
The first of these is an actual philosophical question which has no right or wrong answers. It is designed to make you think about yourself and how you want to live life. Well, here goes. If you could have in your life one day of perfect happiness - the type that great love stories and legends can only vaguely explain - and the memory of that day would stay bright and new in your mind for the rest of your life, but for the rest of your life all other good things would make your current happiness feel like a candle next to the burning sun of the happiness you once enjoyed. . . . would you take that happiness? Would you be in perfect bliss for one day if you knew that the rest of your life would be pale and wan in comparison, or would you choose to be relatively happy for most of your life and never know that perfect joy?
The next question isn't so much philosophical as it is just interesting. Why does my being agnostic seem to affect the opinions of professors so much? I have been in Core IX with Nichols for half a semester now, and for some reason now that he knows I am agnostic he keeps pointing it out, and whenever I answer one of his religious questions he acts as if I am dropping a bomb on the class because I can logically deduce what kind of answer he is looking for. My agnosticism doesn't make me any different once you know about it. I am still George White. I still think and act the same way, but professors can't seem to just accept it and move on. They have to make it a central point of who I am in the class.
