Random Thoughts

For the last 2 days or so, I've been feeling strangely emotionally fragile considering my life is pretty much on track. I guess it is probably stress and fatigue catching up with me. Still, everything is going fine, but for some reason, I keep beating up on myself and feeling like I am unloveable. I keep feeling I'm not productive enough, not pretty enough, not nice enough. Nothing bad happened either, except people keep piling on work and telling me I need to get it all done now. I wish we grew out of feeling inadequate.

I Think I Should Start My Own Cult...

It really seems to work for 20th century oddballs like Ayn Rand and L. Ron Hubbard. Seriously though, reading about all these people with what seem like outrageous beliefs drive me absolutely bonkers. Now, I realize that not everyone can think like me, nor would it be very interesting if they all did. Although it might make me queen of them all. Mwahahaha! To get back to the point (LOL), I guess I have a few very strong beliefs such as in the importance of caring for each other, which staunch Objectivism opposes, and the importance of scientific knowledge when it comes to mental health issues, which Scientology seems to disregard totally. I'm at a loss when I come to be confronted with systems of belief I just cannot accept. Where is the line between disagreement and intolerance? How do we define these things as a society? I think I need to pick up philosophy books because I can't seem to come up with an answer with my already-established knowledge base.

Some hard thinking for a Sunday evening...
