Refreshed from a nice night of sleep, I will try to finish out this ever rambling proposal of my beliefs and goals for this blog.
As I ended my last entry, I wrote about the idea of helping people fulfill their lowest physiological levels of need by becoming a physician. Above that, and somewhat corresponding to Maslow's pyramid, it is essential for humans to have a communal environment that promotes their societal and familial needs. The idea that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights is the most vital paradigm that can fulfill the majority of these desires. If we do not as a society treat this as true, or have unacceptable exclusions, then we are not effectively facilitating people in giving them the best life possible. I feel that it is on this level that I need to start speaking up for any injustices that could be changed. This should be effective on all direct and indirect fronts of my life, where I see that a wrong could be righted.
Of course, issues that affect my life personally will somewhat take more precedence over indirect ones. Unfortunately this is part of human nature, and I will be unapologetic about certain things that innately rouse my enthusiasm. But along with emerging from apatheticism (yeah, I know it's not a word, but it should be) I will strive to inform myself about cruelties in the world that are not sexy to be passionate for. I feel that all of these goals are essential to fulfilling my need of becoming more helpful to others while I am still able to. It may be partly altruistic, it may be slightly selfish, but overall my teleological aim with writing this blog is to ultimately do "good" for more people.
From paper, or should I say computer screen, to action is the next step for trekking into ex-apatheticism (yeah I'm really stretching these words). I truly hope that I can start to involve myself in more organizations, discussions, debates, and political procedures to further my goals. By possibly setting an example for others, I want to instigate other "apathetics" of all generations to speak out, through any means of communication. It is the only way that we can see a change in the injustices occurring throughout our world.
I'm feeling really cheesy after writing this, but surprisingly, feeling cheesy feels good! It's a palatable experience that I just may live through. I promise that from here on out I will write about more seducing topics, ones that will tickle your unapathetic fancy.
Peace, Nate
