Philosophy

Here lies the archive for my philosophical and political musings. Nothing is sacred.

Productivity, Impulse and the Sloth Demon
When that project is looming over your head and you can't seem to get anything done the Sloth Demon has you in its grasps.

Why your 20s are for Narcissism and why You Need to Forgive Yourself
The comedy of errors that is our life is a culminating experience. We all need to remember where we've been to get to where we're going.

Education, Mindset, Growth and Value
The struggles of my own teaching philosophy, the constraints placed on teachers, and a brief look into the Common Core.

Give your Allegiance
The audacity of living in a "free" society that requires, nay, demands us to pledge an oath to it's symbol.

Do what you must
So that you can do what you must! We're all bogged down with the sheer volume of tasks we encumber ourselves with day in and day out. So often we find ourselves stuck in a pattern where we are so focused on the volume of tasks we cannot even begin to tackle them.

Trust
How can we trust others? Why do we trust others? How do our judgments effect our ability to move forward in life?

Failure
Our own difficulties with judgment - of ourselves and of others. How do we deal with the conflict of living up to our dreams and living up to the expectations of others?

Reaching Out
Empathy. Being a teacher and community citizen.
