I want to be good

Duh, we all do. Right? But I think we forget sometimes. I think sometimes things become confusing, dark, grey, and we just seem to not care. It's important during those times to have basic rules, ideas, principals, and beliefs which you can fall back on. I think that's on of the reasons I have this blog and write in it.
I'm reading "What makes a Life significant" by William James right now for my philosophy class. I'm feeling alive today. I saw the newest brief Kony 2012 video, and I feel like I'm a part of something and reminded that there are shitty things out there, but there are also good things I can do about it. What James is talking about so far in this paper, is how we need bad things, and our lives are simply the process of trying to make bad things good. Always. When we aren't doing this, we are bored. Improvement is what makes us feel alive. It's funny how I read this and I feel like there are many of his ideas that I have shared with him before even reading this. This is a famous American Philosopher, the founder of Modern Psychology. I feel like I can be someone and do things. That's simple and broad, but there's a reason for that.
I feel alive today. I'm being productive, I'm doing things so I can feel accomplished, and I'm trying to surround myself with good and beautiful things. Because when I do this, it allows me to acknowledge the less beautiful things in life and try to make them a little more beautiful. I simply want to be a good person. I think it's good to look in the mirror sometimes and say that to myself.


Now, back to homework.
