Breadth

The more I learn, the more I'm becoming aware of the wonder of Life. Anthropology, Psychology, et cetera-- and even within each of those fields, Biological or Cultural Anthro, there are conflicting and varying theories on Life. For a while, I've been in conflict over which field I would trust as the accurate portrayal of Life. But it doesn't work that way. Life is so complex..esoteric..ingraspable, that it cannot be rigidly classified. Labels are so superficial and untrue. Nothing is never contained within one named category. Doesn't work.

Wiser wiser wiser. I like maturing academically.

And a funny thing crossed my mind. Today, when I was walking home, I decided to say Hi to my neighbor who was watering his lawn. And it was a little weird. Our neighborhood isn't very neighborly. At least not my family--we're not too friendly with the neighbors. But they've lived there as long as I remember, meaning they watched me grow up. It's weird that someone can watch me mature, but I never talk to them. I watched my next door neighbor get pretty old. He's become an old man in my opinion, whereas before, he was just a middle-aged man. But funny, as you grow up with your classmates and peers, you grow up with them, so you don't necessarily realize that they are growing, until you see an old yearbook. Then it's like, wham bam!
