Acceptance: Wasteland Style v. God's Style

So my group got to discuss section two of The Wasteland. And we found some interesting images in it, too many to fit on the board since everyone insisted that they had to read it. One thing I found interesting was the story interwoven with HURRY UP PLEASE IT’S TIME. I’m not quite sure what happened to the husband, but the wife and a friend are discussing his return and what will happen if the wife doesn’t change her appearance. It was very odd to me. I wasn’t quite sure what to think, especially when the friend started saying that the husband could find any number of prettier women if the wife didn’t change.

This led me to think about God’s acceptance of us. He doesn’t care what we look like on the outside, He still loved us enough to send His Son to die for. I think that’s pretty great. God never asked us to get new teeth, like Albert did with Lil. He welcomes us no matter what we look like on the outside, whether we’re tall or short, black or white. I don’t think that this is what Elliot was trying to say, it’s just a thought that popped into my head.

Now, back to reading Heidegger, which is making no sense whatsoever! Until next time,

P.S. I commented on Will's "Lack of Structure"

P.P.S. I just wanted to make you all aware that I might be recording a few classes over the next few months to send to Lucy Beth.
