My religion class assignment for the weekend was to read this article about how Sunday isn't observed as the Sabbath anymore. Sunday was originally a day of rest. Shops and offices were closed and everything. But society today tells up that we have to be busy and "productive" all the time. I know that that idea is inside me, because I can never sit and just do nothing. I always feel like I should be getting something done. My religion teacher told us that a few years ago, she used to have seniors in the class interview their grandparents about what their Sundays were like. She had to stop doing it because the seniors would come back so depressed that their grandparents actually had a "day of rest" on Sunday while most high schoolers today are always running from place to place. So much is expected of us, it's overwhelming at times. I told Dad that my high school years are much harder than his were, and he didn't believe me. I wish I could switch places with him for a day. It's not that I think his life is easy, I just want him to see how hard this can be on me.
Really, D-M's and the Internet is my leisure. It's the one thing I can do that makes me feel truly good. It lets me forget about school and the rest for a while. And while it might not be productive in the view of society, it's probably one of the most productive things I do as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to school to learn enough to get a college degree and a good job, but I go to D-M's to learn how to live as myself, and that's a thousand times more important.
