Topic: Election Day. I know. Enough Already. But, this is the job of the citizen in the Democracy. We must choose. And, in a way, choice is the fabric of our life. The choices we make define who we become. What we don't/say and what we don't/do eventually define who we become. What we don't/say and what we don't/do eventually become the patterns and the stories that we identify as our characters and our personalities. This is why Hamlet's "To be or not to be" moment is so important. So: describe an important choice you made in your life. Why did it matter? Did it change things for you? How? Did it give you a sense of who you are? Do you think today's choice matters? Spend time on this one. Choose.
Well, a couple years ago a friend of ours was considering suicide. Nobody could get a hold of her, the suicide hotline wasn't helping, so my Mother and I called her, and I talked to her, telling her not to do it. If we hadn't called her, maybe she wouldn't be alive today. Today's choice really does matter: Do we elect Hitler, or do we take another chance like we did electing President Obama and elect the first Female President?
Basically posts about this random kid in this random farming town in the middle of coastal California telling the whole world what's going on in his Third Period Class.
