This scale of life.

This class lately has really made me struggle with this balance between knowledge and acceptance. Knowledge being to seek to know, to seek to understand, to yearn to further education, and the desire to learn everything about anything. This knowledge that would be helpful in worldly success. But then there is this whole idea of acceptance... accepting that there are things that we will never know no matter how hard we attempt to understand, accepting that there are things that we aren't supposed to know, accepting that we are only human, and accepting that nature is more powerful then what we give it credit for. This acceptance brings this idea of peace and rest. I don't know, maybe I'm just over thinking, but to me, it seems this balance is more key in our society than what we think.

  1. A lot of the things we have learned in that class so far are all meshing together. I am having a hard time keeping all the time eras straight. Pretty crazy stuff.
