Kitten's Nest

This blog is of a desperate nature, something that needs to be finished that was never completed in general! So I am guessing we are starting this Tuesday of with a Socratic circle just for the matter of repetition. "Living by the foma(harmless untruths" that make you brave and kind, and healthy, and happy." The Books of Bokonon I:5. From the beginning to the end of this exact quote postmodernism is plastered on quite thickly. The twist of Vonnegut "book of bokonon" is the relationship to the bible, this is a mirror of what his quotation just has said. In all simplicity it would be the fact that people or human beings as a whole should be accepting of others beliefs if these beliefs are what give us meaning in life. Or a goal to lead us toward there is nothing another human being should express to repress the other individual in their own pursuit of happiness. These harmless untruth's can be symbolized as anything from religion to nationalism. The book progress from this one mere statement to the story of Felix, the pure scientist. Felix represent the view of the age of reason or in some sense, the scientific method. Felix is pure science which as Mr. Dominguez has said science for simply science sake. To seek knowledge for no other reason but for knowledge. This pursuit eventually leads us into dangerous territories. As we ask questions science usually will produce more questions these questions may lead us in either way as the "lack of moral" scientist see no wrong but let their mind's wander unguided towards whatever direction they feel. The concept that is previously brought up with karass and the fact that we eventually are tied to people within this world through different means has quite perplexed me. We can relate karass in sorts to Brave New World, in Brave New World Linda was in this alternative culture but actually connected to the Director of the Brave New World through a past time all of these Karass's were connected when Bernard Marx brought Linda and John the savage back to the Brave New World letting them all connect. Something that can relate to this would be the tragic accident that happened during 9/11. No matter if you were directly related to some one in the towers it effected widely all the citizens of United States. This may have effected the citizen in the sadness or the wrongful persecution of innocent middle eastern citizens who were terrorized or killed just in the same fact for doing nothing but simply representing their own religion with their turban, this turban "a symbol" created within the minds of American's of terrorism. This all leads back to the original statment, the "Living by the foma(harmless untruths" that make you brave and kind, and healthy, and happy." If we feel as a country we are allow others these harmless untruths how can we persecute people for wearing a certain article that represents their own religion. So this all was very confusing as i realized it is very difficult to remember what i wrote at home in my word document that is nestled away in the data banks of my computer never posted due to the terrible memory of a high school senior
