"life?" It shouldn't be idealized if it can't be attained. I mean, if all we live for is to provide for state and home, why then make being educated and having other interests a sort of prerequisite for being a good citizen? It doesn't make sense. But Here I am, forced to do just that in less then two years. I'll have to stop trying all the things I would like to try, and "make something of myself."
Anyway, my book came in the mail today, one of them at least. "The Varieties of Religious Experience," William James. My cousin suggested it to me. I realize that I have a gross number of backlog on books that I want to read. I guess that dancing pad won't get too worn out on account I won't get to use it all that often. OK, Anthro reading awaits. Later!
