Systematic of a Love for Life!

I came across this post looking at quotes about love...
"I am not systematic at all when it comes to religion. I just love life. And I'm not judgmental. And I'm a vegetarian." ~ Erykah Badu
I find this is a true statement for her but for a logical person it doesn't make sense, it's all in the wording...
1. Does being non judgmental have anything to do with being a vegetarian?? I find that there are many vegetarians whom judge the ones who eat meat everyday... but I was also on a dating site browsing and I came across a young lady who said that she doesn't eat meat but it's okay if the guy she dates does. I feel that this would be a hard truth to handle, I mean is it wrong on April Fools Day to spray her pillow with a bacon scented perfume? I feel meat is one of those deal breakers...
2. It's written in the Bible that Daniel while in Babylon didn't eat meat with the other Jews who were in captivity there. So there is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, it's a healthy lifestyle.
3. It's great she is non judgmental when it comes to religion, which I hope she means. Religion is a tough subject to tackle... Don't get married to someone who doesn't see God the way you do, that's logic, even though it says it in the Bible and I'm sure it's said in many other cultures.
4. Another way to think about what she's saying about being not systematic about religion tied to non judgmental feelings is that religion is man made. She is not a slave to the systems of religion. With that being said she's a very soulful being who's music touches many people so she transcends religion by just speaking from her experiences.
5. Love life! Damn it! Okay that's a logical statement.
Just a rant... all in fun... Thanks Erykah Badu

Mentally Okay Enough to Love Life

"Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life." ~Arthur Rubinstein Great quote.   Why? Because it touches my very essence. I may not seem to love life at points but I'll never take my own life or intentionally take another life. Well there was this one time when there was fog on my back road near my house, I hit a raccoon. In his defense he might have had rabies. It can't be confirmed or denied... I didn't file a police report at the time. Okay well this speaks to me about mental illness which in our darkest hour of being sick and depressed, those who suffer from chronic depression, sometimes dream of death. Well this speaks volumes, love life. We all don't get to come back from the dead, we stare death in the face many times but once you're gone you are gone. Love life, love your life... Sometimes I feel like my life is the pits, as if I have reached the lowest low, feeling as if no one loves me, when in reality 1000's of peop...

The Existenstial Ant

The dictionary defines existential as an  ADJECTIVE Relating to existence -  concerned with existence, especially human existence as viewed in the theories of exist entialism   LOGIC - (of a proposition) affirming or implying the existence of a thing. In 20219, I decided to go back to school/college to become a teacher. Out in the left field, a truck hits us with Covid, the worst thing to happen in my lifetime. As a whole, 9/11 and this are pretty terrible things. Back to me. I have been a worker ant, pretty much my entire adult life. I've taken on grunt jobs that don't pay much and when I take on something people don't understand that I don't fit in their box for me they get confuddled. This is where my existential problem comes into being.  Why am I here if I can't make my 2/6 year associate degree work for me. What's my calling? Is it to just be a barback and never make it to bartender or manager(side joke, I made it to a manager at a restaurant here in Charl...

Education Inequalities Based on Class, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity

 This is a discussion that I posted in my Sociology of Education class here at UNCC and the dialogue following. 1. I think that today in the climate of education being a minority can have its advantages for education. I feel that being a mixed male special education teaching student might afford me a better chance to obtain job placement when I graduate and being that there are fewer males in elementary teaching roles now. That's my intersectionality. I believe that the demand for minority teachers is good for me but they shouldn't place a male in a teaching role if they're not qualified same as a woman, it just so happens that it's a role that is needed to be filled in society. 2. Attention should most certainly be given to economic segregation. It should be addressed but as the problem that whites have been afforded a head start in the game. It's like a video I just watched in Child Psych. If we as a society could get over living in white-walled neighborhoods wher...
