Knowledge to enlighten
I was just thinking about this earlier today about how it seems that some adults stop learning and discovering things. And even if they do become aware of something new, not long after do they forget. And when I say adults, I don’t mean little teenagers who think they’re grown and I don’t mean people who are twenty-something or so.

It’s as if they feel they know everything or just so much that they don’t think there’s anything more to discover. Children know nothing, and in most cases know they know nothing so they learn and learn. I’m not talking necessarily about school, but just learning in general. More like life and the world around us, I guess. This is one of those things where if you admit you know nothing and you are then you able to learn.

I hope this sort of thing never befalls me.

And for something not completely related: I must say that it’s interesting and a tad annoying that of my mom’s raising me for all of my 17 years of existence it has not occurred to her that I do not like jellybeans.

Yes, I know it’s such an unimportant thing and it really doesn’t matter, but it just boggles me that she hasn’t figured that out yet. Every time she buys jellybeans she comes and says something like, “Mmm, look what I bought! Some yummy, delicious jellybeans!” and she hands me the bag of the disgusting little things. And I proceed to remind her for the 100,000th time that I don’t like jellybeans and she replies, “Oh… well I just love a good bag of jellybeans!” Isn’t there that one person in your life that refuses to remember that one little detail about you that you just happen to mention almost all the time it seems?

Now a quote:


“It’s beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.”
