my mini existential crisis
so i've been doing a lot of philosophizing (sp?) lately.
been thinking about:
1) what does it mean to act justly? how does God define justice? how do I live in such a way that reflects that? in relation to this topic, i've been reflecting about how to eat, buy, treat waste more ethically. i'm very much in a developmental stage right now and just trying to learn more; especially in the realm of eating. been reading lots of michael pollan, and finally getting around to reading "bottomfeeder" by taras grescoe - which is about a man's quest to eat ethical seafood.
2) falling in love. what does it mean to fall in love? where does that desire come from? what is important to consider when you fall in love? how is it a developmental process vs. an immediate feeling/understanding?
3) compromising in career choices. it's a very difficult and never-ending journey in discovering what work is glorifying in God's eyes and what fulfills you (hopefully, these two are one and the same). how do I become more aware of God's voice while I'm busy with assignment after assignment?
4) friendship. how can I be a more accountable friend? how do I commit to a group of people in my life without being burnt out/doing it for purely selfish reasons?
maybe it's the impending birthday (although it's still pretty far away), or maybe it's the full-time job and stepping into the "real world"...but i've had dylan thomas' poem ringing through my head...
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I've been in a bit of an existential crisis lately too. Well, probably more of one than you, but I'm glad that I'm not alone. Cheers, mate.
