So i decided to start a blog to get down on paper some of my thought (I guess thats the purpose). I've been reading at typologycentral for a awhile but havn't gotten the nerve up to actually post some thing. I hope that will change soon but untill then I'm going to consider this a sort of passive participation.
The sun is streaming through my office window and bouncing off the green walls. I reminds me a bit of what it would feel like to be inside a plant cell on a sunny summer day. (random description of something no one cares about, check
)
I'm in university right now struggling away, typology has officialy replced facebook as the ultimate tool of procrastination, which is what I am doing right now.
Friday night I saw one of the most amazing films, called Triage: Dr. James Obrinskie's Humanitarin Dillema. It was about his experiences with Drs without boarders during the Somalian and Rwandan crisis and his own battle between the realism of the world and a deep carring and understanding of the value of human life and dignity. It was very moving and I recomend anyone who is interested in humanitarianism to definatly watch it. I was quite inspired.
I myself have plans to go into the humanitarian sector...if you can call it that. A surprising amount of people think that its utterly ludacris to devote your life to helping other by endangering your life instead of settling down to find the best paying jog out there. Though many people espouse that helping people is good and noble, it seems when it comes to the action on these values suddenly anything less than self preservation is idiocy. I am finding all of this very difficult to deal with. Shouldn't people with the ability and will to take risks for others be encouraged? Everyone seems to like the retoric but not the follow through.
