Nightmares

Well, I was originally going to write my Crime and Punishment blog but I left my notebook at school the Thursday before vacation and have not been to school since, so I am unaware of the topics for the graded blog post!  However, I need to start writing every day again and so I will make it a top priority.

My vacation's been going pretty well, despite being sick. I have had the flu, bronchitis and the common cold that has been going around. 

I can't stop having nightmares about school. I've never had an argument with a teacher, nor do I ever intend to, but I keep having the strangest dreams where I end up swearing and using language that I would never use in harsh tones and being completely rebellious; throwing chairs, smashing lab equipment... 

All of this poetry has brought me back to thinking deeper about everything around me. Our Harry Potter discussion yesterday led into these different views of different novels and how they are differently interpreted in foreign places, as well as the criticism that they execute on one another. The other night I just happened to be thinking about what everyone's purpose is, what the government's purpose is, communities - small and large. Why do people mind each other's business? When we drive in cars we are separated from those around us, although they, too, are there. Yet, we have to put titles on ourselves and argue about whether or not abortion should be legal, whether or not gays should be allowed to marry, and whether or not certain drugs are should actually be banned, or if they should be accepted as harmless natural herbs. Why criticize all of these things if they are not specifically pertained to every human? Isn't life about living in the moment? When living in the moment, what is contained in the moment is the only thing that matters. If you cannot remain inside of this present notion, then what is the purpose of this world? 

Just a thought...
