Quotes I disagree with:
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. I disagree. I think wisdom comes from listening and discovering the truth. You aren’t the source of wisdom. I think there’s a reason we refer to it as “gaining wisdom” instead of “creating wisdom” or some other variant. Peace comes from within. Again, disagree. I believe peace comes from finding a source...

Revenge or Protection?
If we could ensure that someone found guilty of some crime would never again harm someone in an illegal manner, should we still punish them? More practically, would we as a society would still punish them as retribution for their crimes?

Words.
I have spent a lot of time on Tumblr, Formspring and other places in the past few years. I’ve basically spent a lot of time just spitting out my words and seeing what happens. Usually I feel like they’re just nonsense and a total mess of incomplete and insufficient thoughts. Every once in a while I get some feedback. Whether it’s someone telling me that my reflection on...

Your [my] graduation.
I’ve always been a fan of the whirlwind weekend: that weekend where everything happens so quickly that it’s over before you’re ready. For me these are necessarily weekends of “good.” I don’t consider whirlwind weekends where awful events that happen; those are something different. These whirlwind weekends are those weekends where things happen at such a pace...

Today was a day for little things.
I finished my final for a class I could have done better in. And while my second final didn’t go so well (I literally felt like I was being treated like a child the whole time, though admittedly it was my fault for not knowing this stuff) I think I’ll do okay in the class as a whole. I had to teach a class at 9am two days a week this semester, and I made it to every one on time (for...

grinninglikeacheshirecat replied to your post: Nightmares. Did you have anything with sugar before you went to bed? I ate a praline two nights ago, right before bed and I had a nightmare though, not as bad as yours but it did include my eyes getting scratched out. Actually, yes. Weirdly enough, I had a Pop-Tart before I went to bed.. I never do that. And I remember thinking that I was...

Nightmares.
Last night I had some pretty gruesome dreams. I tend to have dreams pretty often these days (which is actually the opposite of what’s supposed to happen as you age, from what I’ve read) but I hardly ever have nightmares. I’ll have the occasional “bad dream” in which bad/sad things happen and it puts me in a very somber mood for the whole of the next day, but I rarely...
