What to say? I'm a senior at DePaul... majoring in Religious Studies and Philosophy, with concentrations in Eastern Religions and Western Philosophy. I like to do a variety of things when I go out. I don't really turn my nose up at much, as long as I'm with friends. I like conversation and like to talk to people who can hold one.
I think that people need to live their lives as they want to, as the quality of this life depends upon it. Time shouldn't be wasted negatively thinking about other people or themself, because that's just time you won't get back. I used to think that the most important thing in life was the connection one has with their partner, and while that's still very important to me, I've begun to realize that it's how many people you truly affect positively that will leave an impression on the world.
I also think that higher education is extremely important, not just because of the worldly opportunities it opens up for people, but also because through education people are able to see the world in ways that other people don't. The more you understand the world around you in all forms, the more you're going to connect with and enjoy it.
That said, I also put a huge emphasis on a healthy diet and body. I tend to think that people aren't necessarily superficial when they want their partner to have a healthy body (assuming that they do as well) because what it really shows is that you care about yourself enough to put the time and effort into doing so.
This would be the point when most people would make that prolific statement of "So, that's me. Can you handle it?" or "This is me, if you don't like it, too bad." ... Are you serious? Shut the fuck up.
Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating. It prefers to day-dream in the realms of chance and luck rather than accompany the intellect on its narrow and tortuous path of philosophical enquiry and logical deduction only to arrive - hardly knowing how - in unfamiliar surroundings where all the usual landmarks seem to have disappeared. Unconfined by narrow necessity, it can revel in a wealth of possibilities; which inspire courage to take wing and dive into the element of daring and danger like a fearless swimmer into the current.--Carl von Clausewitz
One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.--Fyodor Dostoevsky
Then all the charm
Is broken-all that phantom-world so fair
Vanishes, and a thousand circlets spread,
And each mis-shape(s) the other. Stay awhile,
Poor youth! who scarcely dar'st lift up thine eyes-
The stream will soon renew its smoothness, soon
The visions will return! And lo, he says,
And soon the fragments of dim lovely forms
Come trembling back, unite, and now once more
The pool becomes a mirror.
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't focus on the finger or you will miss all the heavenly glory.
