Apparently, a Tofino teacher is one of three finalists for the "Me to We" award, which is a Craig and Marc Kielburger initiative. Here is the website blurb:
Based on Craig and Marc Kielburger's bestselling book, Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World, Me to We is not only a philosophy, but a worldwide movement of people finding purpose by living with compassion, strengthening community and making a commitment to our shared humanity. Me to We creates a path to happiness that is less about the acquirement of material items and much more about making positive contributions in our world.
It's not only a philosophy, but a worldwide movement! It's half Schopenhauerian, even. My personal path to happiness begins with embracing the loss of distinction between the nominative and accusative cases. Me so happy! I can haz lol speek! Me luv deeze langwidge!
Blargh.
It's been busy. I haven't had time to think or surf much... but! I've made some time to read Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, and am quite in love with it.
"Meaning something is like going towards someone."
Well... that pretty much explains why I've always enjoyed dadaism.
In other news, I ended up unknowingly going on a date with one of ULTE1's closest friends... Ooops. Perhaps that is also one of my reasons for staying somewhat quieter... and laying low. Going to work on staying out of trouble.
And... yay! Our guys won last night... sure, they play for the other team... but they're still our guys, and all y'all Canadian hockey freaks oughta be proud.
