First and foremost, I would like to congratulate everyone on being as mature and thoughtful as they are through the blogs. I really appreciated the sensitivity to important issues, and the general amount of respect that seems to be the norm.
I'm not really sure what to say about most of the class that happened today, (that was sort of the idea anyway) but I suppose I will have to post something conclusive, since I do like joining in on conversations, I just have trouble with it sometimes.
It's sort of tricky to keep thoughts about things like sadness or depression in your head. They're slippery, they come more in the forum of images, because they're so deeply felt. Despite not being able to keep them in your head very well, it's interesting that the feeling is universally understood and felt. There's not a person on this earth who hasn't felt sad, which is really a heartbreaking thing. It's something we just have to get used to, and it makes people better in the end, but all the same... I mean, it makes me heartbroken, in a way.
When I create a character, naturally they have to have had some sadness in their life. Without some sadness they haven't grown at all, so they can't really be a round, dynamic person without having experienced something like that. I imagine God feels like this too, because in a way He is just telling the story with us in it.
Thankfully because God is living inside of us we can have that joy, and happiness that comes from knowing we are not our own. We hold this treasure within us in these fragile clay pots that could break at any moment, and everything is more beautiful because of it.
Despite that God lives in us, the human nature that claws at our souls really is something to experience. To anyone who says that humans are actually mostly good, to them I say there is some true comedy.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say on that note.
I really wish things like this could be better expressed by me verbally...
