Cogito Ergo Sum
In continuation of my previous post, the subject that I have decided to study is ... {drum roll} ... Philosophy.
I find many of the big philosophical questions fascinating. My Hubby will agree when I say that I love a good debate on life, love and um ... stuff. In addition, religion is something that I'm becoming increasingly interested in. Not religion in the sense of wanting faith in some higher being but in the sense of why others have a faith in some higher being. The course that I have found has a section on religious morality which should be great fun.
And now, I would like to leave you with this quote that is attributed to Steve Weinberg (I am informed that it was quoted in The New York Times, 1999):
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
Hmm, makes you think ...

Well I got here too late to make a suggestion, but philosophy seems like a great idea for such a thoughtful person as yourself. Pity you had such a boring geography teacher, I had a terrific one and loved the subject - but then I had an extremely tedious history teacher, so I hated that. I look forward to hearing about your studies.
happy studying. am sure you'll come out of it a much wiser and more enlightened person. :)
michele said hi, btw. :)
