Okay, so this is just a sight about Déja vu and such things like that. I thought it had to do with this class because we don't really know if it's a true phenomena or just a coincidence, any hoo.. here it is. :)

Acceptable Lies?
Okay, I honestly can't remember what we talked about last class, so I've decided to talk about something that crossed my mind.
Society accepts certain lies, right? Like surprises or little 'white lies' that spare people's feelings. Why is this acceptable and should it be? The logical answer seems to be that it will make someone happy when they're surprised or it will avoid making someone upset if you don't tell them you don't like their new hair cut. But, where is the line crossed?
I really don't have an answer, I just wanted to put that out there. :) So buh-bye for now!

Seemingly...
"Things do not seem the same to those who love and those who hate, nor to those who are angry and those who are calm."
Aristotle
I totally agree with this quote because I think having a strong emotion and then experiencing certain things makes the person react differently. For example: If someone was really angry about something and then someone else made a sarcastic comment toward them, it may seem very insulting and they would react much differently than someone who was calm to begin with.
As well, a person's perspective would be different if they were in love as opposed to hating lots of people and being in a fight. One would think the world was great and the other would think the world was out to get them.
Well those are my thoughts for now. See y'all tomorrow! :)
