Well, a quick update. I've been insanely busy with things vastly more important than blogging and we just finished our finals yesterday so now maybe I'll have time to post. And motivation.  So it's been over a month since I've posted, which I'm fine with. There aren't many people on xanga anymore anyway.  Anyways, onto my post.

I had two ideas for a post. One was to discuss the thought crimes of the book 1984 compared to the thought crime bill going through Congress right now. The other is about ignorance and apathy. The latter has become increasingly relevant as I've continued to observe things. So let's begin.

There is a mentality in my class room and elsewhere, that being stupid is cool, and that flunking a test is pretty freaking awesome. They may care about their grades, but just try and fit in and say that they don't care.  Or they may genuinely not care. Either way, it's pissing me off.  Being stupid is not cool. It's stupid. Gloryfing in your laziness is idiotic, and foolish. Ridiculing education to the point where you can't comprehend doing homework outside school is absolutley ridiculous. Education is good, God gave is to us for a reason. Aren't we supposed to have dominion? And doesn't that mean educating ourselves in how to do that best? I say yes. God commands us to be educated, and furthermore, to do all to his glory. Reveling in laziness and thinking bad grades are cool, is idiotic.

But that's not really the thing that eats away at me. What really ticks me off, is how easily people use the phrase, "I don't care." It's stupid! What's more, you can use that phrase and not know how much it affects the people hearing that. Will they think that's all you don't care about, or if you use it frequently, do you even care about anything? Or say somebody works hard on something and then someone says, " I don't care"? Have we lost all sense of other peoples feelings? Or say a tutor works with his student hard on a test, and they get a bad grade and the student says that he doesn't care? Is he thinking at all there? How does that make the tutor feel? Probably really bad. People need to stop being so wrapped up in themselves, and start caring again. Because apathy is definitly not biblical. God created all things and have value, and we're to do all things to the glory of God. So knock it off ya'll. Ok, I'm done ranting.
