go away. i dont want to blog about this, its too hard. trying to write something profound. its not working. damn profundity. all i really want to say is that going to uni open day was good. but a little sad. so many people seeking greatness. so many opportunities for self glorification. the world doesn't change, you leave behind years of highschool where you are pushed to be as successful and important as you can be and enter a new environment where you continue motivated to strive for distinction. we are so far from a species that wants to bring God glory or make him happy. we want to glorify ourselves and make ourselves happy. don't get me wrong, i think education is great, but today reminded me that even learning has been unaviodably tainted by sin. stoked about uni. but taken off my rose-coloured spectacles. the end.

This may seem a little harsh but until you see people break down due to missing opportunities at said personal glory then this is a slight understatment. Another thing to consider perhaps, but for many the environment at uni is one of the most crucial times for some to consider issues such as faith, God, their personal salvation, due to such an intellectual atmosphere and opposing opinions.
ReplyDeleteI whole heartedly agree though.
