this would be the time I am up every morning this summer (yeah, summer) to go to school. (yeah, brain killing school). These past two months I have discovered that I absolutely cannot wake up before 6am, unless I go to bed with a shot of nyquil at like 8pm the night before. Oh well, at least I'm doing what I should be doing and not skipping everyday like old Nicci would do. yay for growing up and being mature! this is one of many things I am grateful for today.
My agenda today:
8am-11:30am 3D design class where I will be making a balanced block sculpture. We have to have 3 squares/rectangles/blocks (or something of the sort) 1 each made out of paper, wood, and plaster. We have to attach them to each other at 90 degree angles. I always try to make something I can use or that will look pretty in my home, so I will be attempting to make a wall hanging pencil holder/lamp decorated in paints, paper mache, and seashells. I'm excited.
THEN...
from 2pm-3:40 pm Philosophy class where we will continue discussing freedom; if we actually have it or don't and if we don't have it (saying a god like figure controls us and knows are predestined future) then why do we still commit sin/acts of evil. Intense discussion. Here is the topic we started off with yesterday:
Pedophiles: It has been said, by some psychologist, to believe that pedophilia is an uncontrollable condition in which the person who is labeled a pedophile was molested as a kid and it disrupted their proper developing of sexuality. This molestation most likely occurred during the peak sexuality stage and hindered them to chemically be more attractive and compulsive sexual acting upon children. IF this is true 1.) is it then actually considered a sin/act of evil (assuming there is a god like figure who has control over our actions) (who has right to say what is really moral or not? the greeks had man to boy relations in order to teach them how to be a "man" and it wasn't considered pedophilia nor was it gay) and 2.) (IF) pedophiles really don't have control over their urges and can't change what they like, then is it right to prosecute them? IF it's not right, then what do we do with them? Would it then be okay for them to participate in the viewing of child pornography? Or is that still unmoral because then they would be supporting the making of that child pornography. So then what should/needs to be done and how do you define that with absolute certainty?
That's what I'll be discussing today, at least I think. That's what I got from yesterdays discussion. What are you opinions?
(after re-reading that when I am now awake I realized that I didn't explain how that topic is apart of our freedom issue in philosophy.)
How all that ties together for the freedom topic is:
Whenever we take an action to do something, either it be to lift our arm or go to the store, it is unknown if we are the ones who are actually making that choice to do so, or if something (God) is doing that for us. If they already have our actions laid out in a plan and we really aren't making decisions for our own. Or possibly, we are making our decisions through our mind or soul and then that causes the physical (chemical) reaction in our brain to cause other physical things to happen. Make sense? Ask me questions and I will find an answer for them, this helps me study so please ask questions. (or explain to me the correct :))
I also wanted to send my best out to a friend of mine Dusty for the wonderful news he received yesterday from his son's mother. Here are some thoughts for you (if you're reading this):
[Don't stress it too much Dusty, I'm sure you have a little while before the court date and there is no need to stress about it. It will only make the outcome what you don't want. (use the law of attraction for the right reasons and allow this time you have before the court date to manifest the best for Josh and You.) Know that there is possibility of bad things to happen, but there are also many many many possibilities of good and great things to happen. you will only attract what you don't want by thinking about what your'e afraid of and what you don't want. ]
And then tonight at 10pm I will definitely be watching:
Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman at 10pm. *get loud, heeeyyy!* (I'm excited)
