Class Notes:
- categorically-
- irredeemable- unable to fix
- transcendent- to go above and beyond
- indelible- born into us
Anything good is better when you have something meaningful to compare it to. Reading something with conflict is more interesting, it's not boring. "you can't have a sense of one without the other"
Today in class we started reading an aritcle called "John Steinback on Good and Bad, the Necessary Contradictions of the Human Nature, and Our Grounds for Lucid Hope" by Maria Popova. After I finished reading this article, and debating which link to read I decided to follow the link "Strength of Character Amid Difficulty" because something about bettering selfs character just grasped my attention. Personally I am always trying to find ways to improve myself physically, mentally, and academically. From the link "Strength of Character Amid Difficulty", I learned that paying attention is a form of generosity. This article mentions that in order to help strengthen our character one must "taste" the world, to be able to give true meaning to happiness. A qoute from the article "... our world is poisoned by it's misery", people who haven't strengthen their character are real unhappy, in a way its a form of bringing themselves down. People must never forget the importance of finding true happiness.
