The Beginning

So far, Truth in Society has been the course I have learnt the most in, which is odd seeing as it’s the only course I do not have notes in. However, I have learnt not useless information that I would never remember after spitting it out on a test. I have learnt about how people act when thrown into a group setting to share ideas, I have learnt that sensitive topics can be discussed if handled in the right manor. I have learned about everyday legitimate stuff.

The point in which I felt I learnt something very important was when Michael Camp said, “Entertainment is not a sign of being on the right track.” This made me look into my own life on a level I had never done before. This quote that was mentioned in a conversation and immediately caught my attention and I hurried to write it down. With this quote I went out on a branch and compared it what I call “entertainment” in my life, and as I thought about I realised that Michael had been right, not one of those things indicated I was on the right track with my life. How does drinking with my friends on the weekend, shopping, or even slacking to fulfill a want of entertainment indicate I am doing something with my life? It doesn’t so really, I learnt that life is so much more than just entertainment; I am now passionately thinking about more important issues, I feel as though I am now looking at the “bigger” picture.

At this point I feel as though I cannot bring justice to stating what i have learnt, as I feel I have not processed it all. Many real issues have been brought up so far, and I am learning so much about how people work and howI, myself think. I believe that the things I’m learning may not click until a later time. I can tell everything we do has a place, and I am not convinced it has all fallen into its place yet.
