One Big Happy...

The most noticeable characteristic about my family is it's overwhelming size. My parents divorced when I was seven, and have both remarried since then. Thus, I have four massive sets of various relatives. The most ridiculous part, however, is the fact that half of my grandparents have remarried as well. Therefore, I not only have two sets of step-parents, but I also have a couple of step-parents of step-parents. Whenever I talk to someone in my family there's about a 50% chance I have no idea how i'm related to them. For me, Christmas is, by far, the longest day in the entire year.

All Said and Done

After all of the discussions, readings, and movies, I think that I've walked knowing less and more at the same time. This is great, because I'm actually starting to think about some of the difficult questions I previously set aside. Some of the questions that i thought i had a set answer for were immediately disproved. For example, I originally thought that we had a choice in matter of life or death. Now, however, i have absolutely no idea whether fate controls our lives or not. I guess I've left this unit leaning towards the idea of dualism, as opposed to believing life is a set of random coencidences.
