I never finished this entry...

Today in Social problems I was getting pretty frustrated. Frustrated with how frustrating society can be at times. We were talking about the history of "race" and how that term came to be and what purpose it serves and the whole process was a frustrating ordeal because it is used to classify people, to group them together, to label them so we can in some way control or study them. This is a frustration I have with all social sciences to some extent because we live in a society that has elevated and worshipped science, and science requires labelling and classification which are by natrue divisive. Because we worship science, this divisiveness has expanded far beyond its useful boundaries and now infiltrates our mentality and our spirituality as a culture. Think of how you label other people based on image, peers, behavior, etc. Think of how people label you.

This was frustrating because it is not meant to be this way.

This is not what it will be like in paradise.

more later...
