This is water.
College is supposed to teach you "how tot think"
But whats truly important is the choice of what to think about.
Skepticism of the value of the totally obvious.
BLIND CERTAINTY- A closed mindedness that amounts to an imprisonment so total that the prisoner doesn't even know he's locked up.
Critical awareness.
Perhaps the most dangerous thing about an academic education is that it enables the tendency to get lost in the abstract argument in my head instead of paying attention to whats going on outside of me.
Pay attention. WAKE UP.
Learning how to think really means learning how to exercising some control over what and how you think.
Learn how tot hunk. How to pay attention.
You get to decide how you get to see it.
The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline and being able to truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad, petty, unsexy ways everyday. THAT is real freedom. That is being educated and understanding how to think.
TRUTH.
Life before death. Simple awareness. Awareness of something so real and essential, thats in plain view the entire time that we have to keep reminding ourselves- this is water. This is water.
