Moving on up
Well, I have decided to move from livejournal to here. I like the interface on this site better, and I needed a place to allow me to fully articulate myself.
On that note, there is a lot I want to start writing about, so you can fully expect me to start writing a lot more on here.
Michael Warren Rice posted a great comment on his blog, www.dailyrice.blogspot.com about the formation of identity. This idea about my identity has long been on my mind, and I think it deserves some attention. I think we are all looking for our identity. I look for mine everyday. We look for it in other people. We look for it when we seek love and acceptance from others. We are constantly seeking to be validated. We all want love. And the extent to which we look for love in others rather than ourselves, is were we loose our identity.
Why do guys often fear intimacy? It is because we think we are somehow loosing our identity to the girl. (but this will be in another post)
I will start writing some of my ideas about philosophy and life. On what I think is important. About the formation of philosophy, to a more present day outlook on life. I will be writing on some of the ideas we have talked about in my British Literature class on Shakespeare and love and mortality. The concept of carpe diem "seize the day", and looking at the end of our lives rather than the beginning.
There will be much talk on God and religion. There will be my own problems faced in the spiritual life (on a more speculative rather than personal level), and the concept of: What is the good life?
We'll take it from there.
