life's fireworks (part 1)
a jumbled mess of thoughts floating around in my mind right now. some are sweet, some bitter...but nevertheless, new thoughts and experiences are always welcome to be recorded on life's paper. *sigh* internet's down again. won't be able to post this till later. oh well, what's new? getting used to it. Now we're surprised if the internet is working. =) can hear the muffled boom of fireworks in the distance. I wonder if i didn't know there was a carnival in SF whether i would have noticed the noise. probably not. Makes me realise that there's so little that one knows. We are forever in our own little world, wrapped up in a comfortable existance....and this is what we call our 'life'. Yet at any one time, there is so much more going on out there that we don't see, and don't know. Yoek going vegan has greatly opened my eyes not so much to the problem of non-sustainable farming, or cruelty to animals, but rather the fact that most people (including me) live without actually thinking of such issues. okay, i'm sure some think about it, but most don't give it much thought. why don't we care about how food gets to us, or how our clothes are made, or what is fed to the various plants and animals? why is it so far removed from us that it is yet another headline, or just another environmentalist preaching? these are certain questions that may not have a definite answer, but still should be thought about, simply to remind us that there is more to life than what we experience.
