Sense of Self

Feeling: quirky
As I trembled in my seat watching a pseudo-scenario of the tragic events at Columbine High School (L'Elephant), I could not conceptualize the intensity of fear the actual students felt staring into the barrel of gun into reality. Instead, I shook. I left the theater truly disgusted. But, also with a new scope on the fraility of human life. As I trembled in my desk watching a public television documentary of the role of Anti-Semitism in Christian persecution of the Jewish people(The Longest Hatred), I could not conceptualize the intensity of bitter hatred the "unwanted minority" endured from a love encompassing religion into reality. Instead, I shook. I left the classroom truly disgusted. But, also with a new scope on the fraility of human life.

ah, gling glo, the album I've always wanted.

Elephant is an experience not easily forgotten by any means.

Strangely... unlike high school.
You're back! Eventually, I stopped checking. But to be fair, we must admit that when one is raised in a society with a belief pervasive throughout, if one never hears a word against it, one cannot help but accept it as truth (except for vary rare individuals). How many millenia passed before we reached this "enlightened" viewpoint? Can we really blame those masses? Is it acceptable for posterity to blame us in the same fashion?
