Olympic Vitality

Nobody can be perfect. We all hold high expectations. We are whiny humans. No, the Vancouver Opening Ceremony did not match up to the Beijing ones. Neither did it cost as much. It amazes me how unsatisfied we can be as humans. We should always strive for better, but sometimes we lose perspective. Why complain about something as fantastic as the Olympics? I loved the ceremony, and while it had its glitches, and I despise CBC for losing rights to the games, making us wait three hours for the ceremony, it was still wonderful.

Of course, I am obsessed with the Olympics, so I was a bit overbearing at times. Because of my exhaustion from this past week I haven't been able to really think rationally. I don't want to turn into a crazed idiot like Raskolnikov, but I struggle so much with self-control. Without self-control, we actually become burdened with stress and responsibility. Self control leads to freedom in society.

I am not perfect, but I can learn to accept other people's imperfections. I just wish I could relax and be normal for once. But then again I am never normal.

I want a tolo date. I want to be with my friends more often. I want to be in California. I want less homework. I want to do more. I want to sleep more. I want to be happy. I cannot be everything. I cannot live up to the great students at my school just in the same way Vancouver cannot be Beijing. But I can be great without showiness. I can be great without flourish. The only question is how to gratify my success?
