Hello Daniel, I have to agree with Susan! This is an incredible post. Very well written!
Keep up the good work, it can only get better. I'm sure you will have some challenges to test your belief when you are released, but I feel confident that with this attitude you will be able to overcome them.
I too am interested in whether or not you are still working with the Mindful Living group. I hope so!
Congratulations on your test results. Job very well done given the circumstances you had to take the test under. Imagine the score you would of received without the limitations, restrictions & distractions at the time of your testing. Your intellectual Genius is what started me to read your blog. Hope this message finds you well. Best Regards, Paul
Hi Ronald - While I don't really believe that morality is relative, clearly society's ideas of right and wrong evolve over time. And, as in the case of the "war on drugs" can often be influenced by the media or other messaging. Certainly you're not alone in questioning this. I'm honestly not sure what my opinion is, but I think it's important to ask the questions!
Espero que te vaya bien en tus estudios :) One of my high school teachers had this quote on the wall, which the internet attributes to Ezra Pound: “The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language."
Hello Nate. I've been reading your blog. I like the intellectual points you make about Poe's "The Raven". Hearing you speak about it is like rediscovering a forgotten favorite storyteller, Poe. In High School one of our literature teachers read his short story "ATell-Tale Heart" to us. I was sitting on the edge of my seat anticipating each sentence through the entire short story. She read the story to us with such intensity and emotion we hung on her every word. Thank You for reminding us of one of America's artistic geniuses. No matter what his shortcomings or faults. He is one of our greats. I'm going to make it a goal to try and read all of Poe that I can. I should have done it long ago. Thanks for reminding me of his great stories. You may also be interested in Charles Baudelaire, the French poet who translated Poe's works into french. As well, Arthur Rimbaud, another French poet that influenced modern literature, music, arts and prefigured surrealism. Thank you for your enlightenment. Hope all is well with you. Hang in there. Talk to you later.
