Alice in Wonderland?

Sooooo the grueling exam in sociology and anthropology is OVER. I have never in my life had so much tension about an exam. I just hated every page I turned reading it, and still it's kind of interesting to learn about society,culture and institutions. I did actually learn a great deal about how to sort out the differences in culture, habitus and humanity. And I realise the importance on being reflected and open minded in the line of work I'm about to enter in a few years. So I'm hoping I was just unfocused and a bit stubborn...I guess the lecturer had some influence...needless to say anything more about her..I know I know I am the only one to blame for the result on my exam, so I take full responsibility.

The earthquake in Chile was horrible, I just could not comprehend the happening. A few years back I visited that city, Concepcion. And to know that so many people there have no homes, family members missing or worse, dead. My thoughts go out to all of them.

This week I was given a privilege. I was given insight into a persons deepest concerns and scars.
It did something to me, it opened a door to a place I have not been before. I felt like Alice in not so wonderland. Down the rabbit-hole. I felt like when Alice drinks the bottle and shrinks, I felt very Small and powerless. But somehow, after reflecting and digesting the "story", I felt as I grew into a gigantic self, like Alice drinking from the bottle again and suddenly she's hitting her head on the ceiling. I will forever and ever, as long as I live cherish that moment. I will use that eye opening experience for something right and good. something bad can be turned to something good. well I certainly believe that.
So thanks a million Sunbeam for sharing, the deed has not gone unnoticed.

Some have questioned why I write in English, I will try to explain. Language is the most important thing we use in communication. We use language to express our self and to connect with other people. Habermas, a great philosopher believes in conversation, the good conversation(discourse ethics). I share his thoughts on that. And for me personal I would like to connect and have good conversation across the world. I can only do that by using a common language used by most people. It is also a good way to exercise writing the language, and keeping it fresh. The mind is a muscle that needs constantly training to maintain what is in there. And as I mentioned before I like a challenge.
