Listening to: The Vines- Amnesia
Feeling: zesty
I'm so romantic in thought again; I just get these swells of zealous, and ambitious thought. I just finished reading "Fahrenheit 451" and contradictory to other people's opinions of the book for me, I loved it. I love how fulfilling every word is and how everything is so relevant and significant to today. It makes me feel like a preaching hypocrite when I can identify censorship and problems with corporate America and "the system", but I am just as much of a slave to is as the next. I can't remember the last time that I chose reading over T.V, or playing a video game, which makes my thoughts contradictory, which is why I needed to write again. I feel like such an enlightened mind sometimes, but I feel like I’ve just gotten so caught up in spontaneous, emotional thought that I can’t reflect and enjoy a good book, and learn more about morals or ethics or even love. Which is another reason why I like to write like this, I usually tend to do so after I’ve learned something… and I think what I’ve learned from this book is that I need to enjoy having an opinion, and enjoy other people’s opinions while I still can. I also realized just how important it is to have beliefs and an actual system of processing information. So often today it seems like people only put media that directly pleases them in front of their face… they just shut out other thought or even the idea that they can be wrong. And that’s where expectation comes in. People are forced to succumb to the needs of others by way of an uncomfortable social expectation or system of having one thing unanimously in common. I think the only thing that we should have unanimously in common is our right to love, our need for connection and for education.
