So, I'm in college, right? And I'm taking two particular classes, Leadership Studies and Intro into the Humanities. Both involved a lot of thinking and soul-searching to truly understand what concepts mean, and what they mean to me. However, thinking about these two things at the same time...that's when it gets interesting. In Leadership class, we studies the concepts behind leadership, which often include justice and kindness and an willingness to help others. In the Humanities, we instead QUESTION all of these things: what is justice? Is is truly better than injustice? Does honor exist? Why does humanity help each other instead of just everyone for themselves?
Basically, I'm arguing both sides of each topic in my head ALL THE TIME. I have to remember what class I'm in: 'Ok, I'm in Leadership Studies...that means that I assume that justice is real...and it's good...OK, got it.' Or: 'I'm now in my Humanities class, and we're arguing whether justice is real or not, or just something that people say but don't really follow.'
Literally, that's what my day is like! My brain has never been so stretched, but it's fun - I feel like I can see the world twice now, and finally turn my head to see everything around me (*reference to Plato's 'Republic' which I'm reading now)!
