White Stripes - When I Hear My Name |

The Rand insertion will have to wait until I am finished with all my other coursework as it seems I'm going to be heftily busy this week and next for a lengthy five part essay assignment in comprehension. Fortunately for me, my psych class isn't so scruple and heavy handed in assigning lengthy creative writing projects as my Comprehension and Philosophy classes. While it takes a great degree of participation, most of the learning is done first hand instead of on a reflection, and argumentative debate process. So this essay isn't as long as normally you would find posted on here, as it had to be confined and condensed into double spacing in one page.
Assignment : Life's Mysteries
1. Describe two events happening in the world qhen you were nine-years old
2. Describe a major event that occurred in your teens – this can be a personal event or a national event.
3. If you are (or past) 21, what are (were) your personal goals and educational or vocational goals?
4. Where do you see yourself at the age of 65?
5. What contributions will you have made to society?
Ponder this quote:
“…we all begin with the natural equipment to live a thousand kinds of life but end in the end (sic) having lived only one.” Clifford Geertz (1973)
(submitted product)
The world events occurring when I was nine years old heavily impacted everyone on a world-wide scale, and still seems to have somewhat of a butterfly effect to this day. The Soviet Union formally dissolved, in which caused a successive domino effect, where several states declared independence and recognition from the civilized world. Boris Yeltsin was elected as first president to democratic Russia, and the Maastricht Treaty was signed, formally founding the European Union. Both Magic Johnson and Freddie Mercury publicly disclosed that they have contracted HIV, information on HIV and AIDS is made more prominent in the public spotlight, at the very least a more prominent role in my understanding of the external world. Mercury died just days after his disclosure of the disease due to complications, while Johnson still lives to this day. And lastly, not having as great an impact on me personally until later in my life, the Dead Sea Scrolls were finally revealed to the public, ultimately being the catalyst into how I came to view the world of organized religion and developed my opinions on faith, politics, philosophy, and other disciplines in humanities.
( the rest.. )

Ayn Rand just threw me for a loop after reading her discourse on ethical morality, and the virtue of selfishness, in my philosophy class. I'll post her insertion later when I get some time.

The finite ethereal connection,.is the answer, the spokes on the wheel.........There might be a God or a Original Creator, but one we will never physically know....and.... That requires personal faith where sensory perception is highly inaccurate. However, their essence....... the essence of God, is within us, all of us, we create and propel the wheel of life....... into a single higher consciousness. ONE complete entity that makes up the universe that we know, with all of our faults, anxieties, fears, tragedies, romances, and love.... ONE LOVE to rule them all.
without the answer, we will never know the true question. maybe we were never meant to know everything as we wish..
