McMaster


     Thursday I attended Alice Brinkman's speech about Reach Studio Art Center.   Brinkman delivered a fascinating speech about how the children in the greater Lancing area of Michigan were given a chance to learn about art.  Most of the children come from families that are poor.  The children come here to stay off the streets and enjoy doing something they love.  

    I believe we are both determined and free individuals.  We are determined because we cannot control what family or part of society we are born into.  We are free because we can take control of our life to change it and make it what we want it to be.  Unfortunately, no one really knows what reality is or when it is happening.  All we know is what we know which is our knowledge.  In my opinion we truly know something by being taught it.  Even if we are dreaming right now we were taught things in the "dream".  

   The meaning of life, what a tough subject to talk about.  It is hard to say exactly what the meaning of life is.  From a Catholic stand point is mostly to go out and serve God and others.  In my opinion the meaning of life is to live.  Live your life to the fullest potential you can.  Never look back and regret things you have done only learn from them.
