The other day in class we were talking about how Jesus was both man and god. To be honest, I don’t know a lot about the Christian faith so I found it really interesting when we were talking about the fact that Jesus died a criminal’s death and decided to be born into poverty. This Jesus guy seems pretty alright. I do know enough that Jesus led the perfect life only to die the way he did, just to save us from our sins. I guess it just really makes me think about whether the over-all population appreciates what they have. As in, if you could choose to live any sort of life (as Jesus did) would you choose the life of a poor person? In modern culture social status and wealth seems to outweigh spiritual quality. I am on a role with these entirely too deep posts this evening. I just really want to think about the quality of life I am living. I can honestly say that I think I would choose to live the life of a rich person. Everything seems much easier at the top. Is it a bad thing to want an easy life? Then again, I do really enjoy my life right now, I have to work and go to school, and I may not be able to go out to eat as often as I would like, but the situation I am in is definitely not the worst it could be. At least I appreciate that, right? I might not be able to wrap up this post as cleanly as the rest of them. I don’t know how to answer the question that I have posed here…
