We've Made It So Far

Rafe sent me this video recently. It's so incredible when you sit back and look at the big picture of how we evolve as a society. How far we've come at this point. After this video the thought that kept running through my mind, or question rather, is this: Are we better off with all of the modern tools or with simplicity? It's noted in the video that we know today so much more than even shakespeare. Yet, even today we study his works in literature and revel in the insights. On another note though, if we are this evolved and truly can process the multitudes of information in our everyday lives that is thrown at us then what exactly is ignorance? Even the most ignorant beings are still intelligent in a sense....compared to the past. So ignorance is relevant to the surrounding circumstances. Anyhow, watch the video. It's interesting to say the least and will give you something to ponder.

Do I Prefer?

I'm realizing that it's much easier for some people to know what they like and don't like. For others, like myself, we need to experience an emotion with an event before being able to form an opinion. I feel like some people just....know...what they want out of life. So matter of fact. With no regrets or questioning. I am not one of those people. At times I think it may be easier to be that way but then again. If I were, then years from now when I'm a grandmother telling stories over and over again because I can't remember which stories I've already told. Hopefully my listeners won't get quite as bored because I have many more stories, experiences to pull from. I learn the hard way.....by going through it and not just tiptoeing around it. I'm confident that there are many others in my boat........so for those of you passengers sloshing along with me......I hope you enjoy this blog as I figure out my perspective and preferences in life.
