So, it's been raining for days. Crazy amounts of rain, I don't think I know one person that lives near me that doesnt have a flooded basement. It's just gross. My street was actually a river yesterday. Fortunately, today it finially stopped and it's going to get really nice for the next few days.
Next topic, Easter. It's only a couple of days away...that means tons of candy, hanging out with family, for us cool LDS people, general conference, and remembering why we celebrate Easter in the first place. It seems that many people get caught up in making a nice dinner and keeping the kids happy and full of candy that they forget why we celebrate it at all. The first resurection isn't something that should just get forgotten about. I would encourage everyone to try to take some time out of this day of festivities and just think about the point of Easter even if it's only for a few minutes.
In English class today we started talking about solipisim (for anyone who doesn't know it is the theory that only one's self exists, or can be proved to exist). It can be a really creepy concept. My teacher was trying to explain exactially what it was and he was telling anyone who asked, "I don't exist, no one exists but you. Everything else is just a figment of your imagination made up by your subconcious." It is really strange to think that you are the only person in the world and everyone else is just made up by your subconsious. I personally believe that the whole concept is just lack of faith. If you believe in this you have no faith in even what you can see. Faith is legit. believeing in something that you cant see but you know is true, if you cant even believe in what you can see then a person has no faith in anything. But it is interesting to think about.
Overall, life is good. Smile and be happy, just because I said so. Laughing is healthy, so get your daily dose of laughter in every day. Live your life, and love everyone, even your enemies. =)
