Be Wholly Alive
Celebrating my last exam the best way I know how -- going to a concert. Standing room only, the Spoon concert was still packed with people viewing the concert through the lens of their cameras and phones. So absorbed in technology, we are unable to fully view a moment. To fully live life, we must forgo our distractions and fully engage in our environments, spiritually and emotionally. Ernest Hemingway phrases it best by saying, "Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as mush as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry.
You will be dead soon enough."
