Sometimes I can't speak

I was wanting to write something very witty and smart about how college students mock those who are self-important and pretentious while themselves being extremely self-important and pretentious in their mockery. I wonder what it is about being in largely learning community that makes people think they are smarter, wiser, and/or better than others whether they be parents, younger students, or older people working for “the man.” I must admit that when I go home I am tempted and/or I do feel that some of the people around me do not think about things as properly as I think they ought; however, the more I learn here at Oglethorpe and in places in general the more I realize how little I know about anything. The more I learn about the bible, the more I feel how little I know about God and the world and theology and faith. The more I learn about humans and human behavior and friendships and relationships, the more I realize how little I understand them all. I am so thankful to be surrounded by people who I know love me and care about me and harass me about whether or not I am okay.
