methrowrock"Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes." — Stephen Colbert, Knox College Commencement Address — 3 June 2006
Optimism may grow tinny and annoying, buzzing around like clumsy fireflies on a sweltering night. But consider this, you have nothing to lose by loving things and loving them loudly. Hearts should be swollen and bursting at the seams- there are so many people, places, cultures, emotions, objects, and experiences to love! How, or when, do human beings get over the wonderment and amazement to be alive? It seems impossible. What else have we got anyway? Whoodeedoo~ I blame the wooziness induced by essay/imminent-stress fatigue. Good night.
