Yesterday, I was told that I should start a blog and I figured hey - why not! Plus, I hear that's what all the cool kids are doing. I googled "words with Dani" because I thought I'd be clever and incorporate a segment of my name into the title of my blog. Of course, thanks to Google being the supreme entity that it is, I immediately stumbled upon the word "mundanity." Huh. Once again, I asked my good friend Google to do me a favour and define mundanity.
I firmly believe that through life experience, we can obtain knowledge far beyond the value of a typical $100+ college textbook. I am not scrutinizing the educational system but rather, I am pointing out that there are other non-conventional paths to obtaining knowledge. Wether it be a good class lecture, a philosophical debate, or something as simple as beautiful scenery, I strive to soak in as much information as I can in order to become as intellectually sophisticated as I can be. I want to become self-actualized or in simpler terms, I want to reach my full potential. When I see the word "disillusionment," I automatically think Descartes, self-consciousness, and cultural relativism and how in general, perspective is such a powerful and often overlooked force. Thus, I look forward to sharing my experiences and thoughts on this blog as I journey towards mundanity.
