I know this means something

I know that havign people who care about you means something. We enter this world alone and we exit alone. The time in between does not have to be spent alone. In fact it shouldn't be. Just imagine if you didn't have anyone who cared about you then all your thoughts and feelings and dreams and aspirations would be even less significant than they already are. There would be nobody for you run to if you need help and nobody to keep you on the right track. Having people in you life that actually care is very important. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have someone to tell my successses and failures to.

FRANKLy speaking

I've finished the first part of Man's Search for Meaning and thus far Frankl has been talking about his experiences in a concentration camp. I had never heard of Capos before and when Josh related it to the overseers of slaves and it made sense. You have to do everything you can to stay alive.

What actually happened to him wasn't exactly surprising, but his reactions to what was going on we're surprising for me. He talked about apathy and how they pretty much become in a sense numb. All the death surrounding the prisoners had less and less effects on them. It made me think about my own life and how I think I have problems. I sit there an wallow in everything going on, then I read this book and watch It's a beautiful life and I remember other people have gone through worse and taken it in stride. Frankl kept living and Guido kept living his life until the very end. After everything that was thrown at them they got through it even though Guido died. It helped me realize that it could be worse so I should just find a way through it.

Who Will They Choose?

I think Voltaire would vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party. Voltaire was all about cultivating his garden. Jill Stein wants to provide grants and loans to grow green business. She also wants to redirect research funding from fossil fuels to wind, and geothermal. Stein is pretty much trying to get everyone to help cultivate the garden.
I don't really think that Camus would vote. It would be meaningless to him, but I believe he would vote Obama. I don't think Camus would want to stir things up so he'd vote Obama because he's the reigning president.
