Everyone thinks they’re right but they all can’t be right, so in a sense they are right but they’re wrong. A revolutionary assassain for example, they may think their crime is an act of justice while society sees it as a crime. But the “assassie” could really have been evil, as so is the act of taking another human life. Both sides are true but they also cancel each other out, therefore everything is true and nothing is true.

I feel like a fortune cookie.

That’s because this post includes a quote that I’ve spent a LONG time thinking over, “everything is true and nothing is true!” (91) It made me think about everyone’s different perspective and even though I didn’t mention it, this quote also made me reevaluate my opinion on Meursault. Although I may disagree with him I can’t say he’s wrong, because to him he’s right. As he can’t say what I think is wrong because it is what I think. There are no “wrong” or “right” answers and that kind of logic is one of my downfalls because I follow by those “rules.” As an artist, I don’t experiment with my work and I only go by what I think is “wrong or right.” Therefore I never come across any of those “happy accidents” most other artists have.

My least favorite entry was my second April 24th entry:

I love how easily a jury can be bought be mere mentionings of “holy” things such as one’s “soul.” Meursualt’s prosecuter’s has them eating out of his hands because the prosecuter portrays a somewhat “genuine” character by saying he’s peered into Meursualt’s soul. People are so easily bought by strange phenonmenon (I spelt that wrong) and religion. Religion is a cult that brainwashes it’s followers and the mere mention of it can change a person’s thought or opinion by a complete 360. And the “injected thoughts” are so one sided, “This is your God and this is what you do. No Questions.” Nobody thinks for themselves and it’s a flock of sheep.

I totally went off subject there.
I apologize to any hard core religious people that I may have offended.

But basically what I was saying is that people will always follow a higher power despite the fact it may be wrong.

I let my personal feelings get the best of me and I’m pretty sure I went over the line (consdering that the school board is looking over this). I’d like to point out that I have nothing against religious folk, but it’s the oblivious, one-sided religious people I CANNOT STAND. The type who take on judgement for themselves, shunning or even killing off anyone else that is different and then labeling it “God’s work.” That kind of stuff just makes me sick.

I’ve only visited two other blogs during this entire project, Wendie S.’s and Laura L.’s. Mainly because they were the only few I knew personally and didn’t feel awkward posting on their blog so casually. Wendie’s posts I thought, were insightful with a bitter sarcasm in them, BUT IN THE GOOD WAY. I loved her use of outside media and connections and honestly made me a little upset for not putting more effort into my blog appearence. The same for Laura, her blog layout and photostory were outstanding.

Blogging was a great way for me to understand the context of the book and the different viewpoints of the story and its characters. Though most of what I’ve seen thought pretty similar to my ideas. Nonetheless, it was great to interact and speak with people who did think the same ideas as I did and analyze into that much more.
