it's all being deconstructed/reconstructed/rethought/newlythought.the ying and yang of life play out in my mind. things like - "the unexamined life is not worth living" while at the same time - "the unlived life isn't worth examining" Do people exist anymore? or have we only become an extension of what we do rather than the other way around. it seems to me, that at the location where i spend most of time, those around operate under the maxim that we must work. we must have a vocation to make money. True? i'm in the process of really thinking and examining the constructs of the culture i live in and the assumptions and alleged "rules" that govern the way people around me live. my inside tells me that these rules and assumptions need not apply, that i am allowed to operate outside of these bounds, what that means exactly or more interesting is how that plays out - is i suppose what i'm in the process of sorting through. i just know that an engaged life can be the ultimate adventure - i want to ensure that while i'm visiting this foriegn place that i'm fully engaged.
