Take a Giant Step

"My desire to live a green and fair life."

In acknowledgment of the duration of feeling much guilt, I've decided to align my lifestyle with my conscience. As of late I've felt that too much of our lives are spent in ignorance, and in a new found awareness, purpose and value in the simple and mundane aspects of our lives have become replenished with adoration. I find it impractical to sympathize with so much waste and extensive impatience, as well as feel an anxiety towards communication and solitude.

Dairy has also been removed from my diet as well as any processed food. I'm justifying many foods on the grounds that I make it from raw foods (i.e. bread.) I'm thrilled with this choice, as it's been weighing on my shoulders for years.

I am aware that I've been a stranger to basically most (all) of my friends. I've developed a serious complex with communication, and don't know what will suffice. I've sought help and feel as though I'm recovering (although I can't guarantee it.) Hopefully these translations of my irrationality will be our connection.

Paz.

You will have to tell me more about the communication and solitude aspects of your 'regression.' I dont think we have talked about that before...

its also interesting that you have guilt... its such a religious term to me, its interesting to hear you use it. to me it implies a right and a wrong... i would like to hear your theories of right and wrong... we should also talk about that one of these days :)

can't wait to hear more!
i'm so glad we get to experience these things together, its very nice to have someone who shares my excitement for things like sprouting garlic.

Have you always been opposed to capital punishment? I suppose we never talked much about it before. For me, it's a difficult subject. I'm not comfortable with the idea of "sending people to the chair" (a reality for hundreds each year in Huntsville, Texas) but I do not believe citizens should continue to sponsor severe criminals.

With the advances that have been made in science, such as DNA testing at crime scenes, is evidence not becoming more accurate? If the evidence is more accurate, isn't the justice system more likely to pin the right person for the crime?

If this is true, then it is safe to say that the court system is making fewer mistakes (therefore, less innocents are going to the chair.)

Maybe it's too traditional of me, but I don't like thinking about my taxes going to feed someone who sliced up a family apart while on meth.
