I post this photograph of me at the middle falls at Burgess Falls today because just a little over a year ago at the same spot, I did such a thing. No big blog or anything, just a glance at how the shell has aged in the same shirt and striped brown hat.
The world does not destroy you through negativity. It destroys you by neutralizing you. I discovered a love of communicating with people face to face at the same time the world discovered social networking. I discovered an interest in teaching guitar at the same time the world discovered an interest in channeling the likes of Lady Gaga into the hearts of young people. I discovered politics at a young age at the same time the world discovered ways to make the age of twenty-one far more appealing. I discovered the church when the world discovered it can be promise to be the same thing. I discovered that hard-work is an ideal worth pursuing at the same time the world discovered it can rest on the backs of those who cling to such ideals. I discovered a love of reading tangible books at the same time the world discovered e-books eliminate the need to hold something in your hands. I discovered a love of the liberal arts through history at the same time the world discovered it needed science and math far more than obsolete arts. I discovered a love of marriage at the same time the world discovered it could laugh at it. I disovered a love of finding the preciousness in time when the world discovered jobs that have a love of seizing it from you. I discovered that whenever I find something positive, the world discovers something neutral.
