Car-ting around
Long long ago, before automobiles existed, if a cart, covered wagon, or carriage was built people tried to use just enough material that it would function well and not fall apart. Nowadays, each new generation of the iPhone or iPad that comes out is lighter and (sometimes) smaller, becoming more and more efficient. And that's what people look for. Despite these things, for some reason, when looking for a new car, people often want the bigger car with more wheels and metal than is necessary for it to function and keep the passengers safe, wasting resources rather than becoming more efficient. How strange is that?
Photographs
I find it strange how we put (life sized) photographs of the heads of our loved ones in our offices, rooms, etc.Why just the head? Do we only care about people's heads? Why not put a life-sized full body picture in their offices? Or at least a picture of their feet? Aren't feet just as important as the smile?
Redemption
Last year, I spent some time fighting for Classic Lit/Shakespeare to be a class. When this failed, it was disappointing, and I had to fill my schedule with something else. I had some friends who'd taken Bible Leadership and said it was pretty good, and as that was one of the only 4th period options I had, I decided to put it in my schedule for the time being. I never ended up switching it out for something else, and it ended up being a huge blessing to me. Something good came out of something disappointing.
