Statement

I greatly dislike how the media frame their words from the point of view that assumes everyone has money lust.

Humility

I heard a story on NPR today about an autistic college student. I feel a lot like that student. Present but detached.

I am aware that I sound like an idiot to some people.

today's thoughts

I am dumbfounded how people can still believe that organized religion offers any real solutions to man's problems. I guess someone with this outlook must not be aware that reality is mostly perception, that each person really lives in his mind rather than in a concrete reality where everyone thinks and feels the same thing. I guess a person with super strong religious beliefs is unable to look at life from another perspective. Frankly, I am of the opinion that organized religion is just another obstacle to real solutions. I attempt to accept each and every person just as they are. This doesn't mean I approve of everything they do. It just means that I accept their existence. Like many people I do sometimes wish that I could make people see what I see but I know this is not possible. I guess unconditional love and acceptance is asking too much of the average person.
