T-Freud and Counting...

Four days of class left... Three nights of work... Too much free time... One reading assignment. T-4 and counting. Friday night I fly out of here; once again, my freedom will be to short and sweet. We are reading a book on Freud and Lewis right now. Its out last book before the creative presentations and final exam, and it put me asleep four times in two pages last night. I admit, I may have been slightly exhausted from snowboarding, but the writing couldn't even excite me to finish the reading assignment, which was less than 100 pages. Tonight, the last 200 pages will be a real challenge. I doubt I will read them.

Freud may have been a great guy. He also may have been a complete blockhead. I don't know enough about him to make a definitive decision for myself. All I can postulate is that he severely limited himself by being an atheist, and by placing such importance on the relationship he had with his family.

Lewis may have been a great guy. He may have been a complete blockhead. From the time I've spent on him, and the number of his works I have read (most recently especially) I think I know enough about him to postulate the former and discredit the latter statements. However, I can do this kind of inference, this kind of logical analysis on my own, without the help of a book based on a PBS Special, written about Freud (which sells) that only postulates without attempting to make a differentiation between right and wrong, good and evil, and better or worse.

As soon as Freud is removed from my life, things may improve. Or I may suffer as my friendship with Kristin is ruined over ideological principals. I just cannot explain why I don't go to services in 'churches' that don't believe in God without becoming very flustered, accusatory, and reactionary.
