Not life changing

"When someone asks a stupid question, care should be taken not to answer him, lest he who answers becomes just as stupid as the questioner." K

I remember my math teacher in the 8th grade had a sign in her room that said something like "Never be ashamed to ask a question, there are no stupid questions...And someone else may have the same question!" I almost failed that math class....but I doubt asking more questions would've help me. But that is completely off topic. Apparently, there are stupid questions...

We had an interesting reading from Kierkegaard this week. I am not going to lie, every time I started to believe I really knew what he was talking about...I was then bombarded by a whole new set of ideas and words. I noticed a lot of veiled criticism of antagonistic beliefs just like we talked about in class. He often links together ideas I never would have associated with one another....Foolishness should be avoided. The end.

  1. I love how you crush every kids self worth by telling them there are apparently stupid questions. I guess that is why you are not going into the education major!!! haha, jk... I have to agree, the readings are very interesting. I like Kierkegaard. He really stretches ones thoughts. It is good.
