Entry Thirty-Four -

Build It Up, Tear It Down, History Is Repeating

 

As most of you know I do have a math test tomorrow, so this entry will be short. I just got home, it's around 7:30, GATE on Tuesday as usual . . . but I read a poem that thoroughly inspired me today, so I want to share the concept behind it with all of you.

The basic jist of the poem was about a grove of trees that was used as a church. As mankind advanced, they formed tools, in which they cut down the trees, and constructed a chapel. The rocks around the church formed tile, and sand, water, and crushed pebbles made concrete. Isn't the usage the same, and the original scenario just as adequate?

Seems as though mankind tries to alter the state of evolution as frequently as possible, usually for some sort of pointless purpose, like erecting a structure or redirecting a course of water. I wonder if anyone has heard the phrase, let the world be as it is. I'm not some sort of tree-hugging peace loving hippy, if there is some sort of connotation, but I certainly believe that plowing down and burning entire acres of forest is wrong, especially when it's just a clear-cut for planting corn, which sucks the nutrients straight out of the soil, so not only have you destroyed the beautiful trees, but you've also deflowered a fertile area. People are sickening sometimes - with their lack of respect for things, there butchering of solitude, there idle complaining without justification. (I believe I have justification . .. I'd argue that it's my belief)

Now to move off into hypocrisy, since that made me think of it. Mankind is the most hypocritical being there is. One may criticize another for brushing her hair in class, then ten minutes later be grooming one's own eyelashes. That aspect of people thoroughly annoys me, and if anything else, the oblivious hypocrite is he who is guilty most.

Whoa, dinner time, take care my friends.

In the words of my mom, "My table is on the dinner."
