Reunion in 10-15 years

Today's blog topic asks what I think it would be like if the school had reunion in 10-15 years. Well I think some people would be completely different, while some people would be the same. Some of the people in the school don't really seem like the kind of people to change much, while others you can tell they will be different in 10-15 years. Reunions are also awkward if their unplanned, even if we arranged to meet up, it would still be pretty awkward with all the time, and differences in personalities. Maybe some people would get along, that did not get along in the past, who knows. We probably will end up meeting at one point, maybe everyone might not see each other, but possibly a few people will meet up. Some people will move on to other places, and will be too far to go to any reunions, some might stay around the Montreal area, who knows.

Problems

Today's devotions talks about problems, and how we don't deal with problems that aren't ours. I don't really get the point of the video though, why should I make it my problem? A problem has to belong to someone, unless its a group of people, that's why it's a problem, because it effects someone. I don't really like cleaning up other peoples messes, they have to learn on their own instead of doing whatever they want.People fix their problems for them, they just keep continuing what their doing.

Swine flu

Well there hasn't been any deaths in the U.S. from the swine flu yet, so I don't think it's that much of a very big deal. It is something to be aware of, but there are a lot of other dangers in society besides the swine flu, so they could possibly be using it to publish media. If you ever notice on the news they only talk about the travesties, when it's a very small percentage of the world. They don't want to talk about the good things that are happening because well, then people would not listen to the news. If you keep people scared, then they'll keep watching the news everyday to be aware. As long as you watch the news knowing this, then it's completely fine to watch the news. You shouldn't let the news get to you too much though, you might end up getting paranoid when there's no need.

Working on a deadline

Today's blog asks my opinion on working on a deadline that is the next day, which forces us to work on it right away. Well it depends how you look at it, I did get my assignment in on time, but I didn't really have time for anything else. I did get my assignment in on time though, so I would say it depends on the assignment, if it's a fairly short assignment, then I guess it could be due the next day. If it's an assignment like this weeks lab report, I think we should be given a little more than just 1 day. This weeks lab was pretty much completely confusing, and seeing how at least 85% of the class was confused about what he was talking about in the first place, I still don't completely understand what he was talking about during the class, I understand a bit of it though, so I'm not completely lost.

Today's blog asks me to comment on a video which shows how people in Christianity think they always have to be in a holy state of some sort, instead of just being themselves. I agree that things would be a lot easier if people had a personal relationship with god, and would feel a lot closer. I think people juts think they have to act holy, because they probably think who they are is not good enough, and need to become a holy-like figure. Maybe people think this because in the bible it's hard to find the personalities of the people, as most of them just seem like holy, serving the lord at all time, figures. Who knows what the people that wrote the bible were like though, they could have been juts like average people today, but you just can't tell through literature, and if you can tell, you would have to really try to find it.

Freedom of speech

Today's blog topic talks about freedom of speech, I'm guessing it's relating to the twitter. Freedom of speech can be good or bad, and it also depends on the concept on what your saying, If it's bad for the individual then no I don't think it is, because you should be able to say what you want, especially when people ask you to. If people are worried about someone saying things that might make the other listeners think, and possibly change something, then yes it could be bad, one person can affect many people easily. Not everyone gets they're mind changed by other peoples opinions though, and I believe this is how it should be, the world is made up of many different individuals with individual opinions. Some peoples thought and ideas might not be for the best of the majority, but that's just how it is. I think freedom of speech is just letting out what you wanna say on the inside, so it's just deciding to let it out instead of keeping it in, doesn't make much of a difference to me.

Red balloon

Today’s blog asks me to comment on a video about people fighting over what color a balloon was. I think that the truth was that it was red yes, no matter what the other people said, if they wished to choose it as something else then that was there choice, but the majority of people would say it’s red, which makes it what it is. I think the video was trying to talk about how people turn Christianity into their own version which works best for them. I think it has a good point, if we want to be a Christian we should stick to the rules of it, or otherwise don’t pretend to be Christian at all because then you’re just lying to yourself. What would have happened though, if one of those other people painted the balloon blue, or green, would it still be red?
