This Seems Neat....

This was so destiny report I filled out while bored.....

"In this lifetime you are very much concerned with what happens in the world, the larger sphere outside your own immediate personal concerns, and you cannot separate yourself from the issues and challenges of your generation and society as a whole whether you are active in politics, community service, organizing and managing groups of people for a unified purpose, promoting new concepts and innovations which will affect many people's lives, or simply living your life in a socially conscious way. You need to be involved in influencing the larger social fabric of which you are a part. Thus, Lee, you tend to look at the broad canvas, the political, social, or group context of any problem or situation. A simple fight between a man and a woman becomes, to you, how women are oppressed by the dominant male power structure in this society. The decision to eat a hamburger or a soy burger is not, to you, simply a matter of personal taste or health considerations but also a moral and politically relevant issue, considering the impact of the beef industry on the rain forests in South America... Even if you are at home raising children and not significantly involved in the public arena, you will try to raise them to be thinking individuals, aware of the effects their actions and choices have on the rest of the world. You foster a community spirit, a sense of connectedness with the rest of the planet.

In whatever field you pursue, Lee, you are likely to be an innovator, a maverick, a little unusual, or ahead of your time, and surround yourself with other free thinking individuals. While you are very much attuned to whatever group you identify yourself with, you are also very independent minded and this dichotomy between the freedom of the individual and the needs of the group can be the source of ongoing tension in your life."

....seems very true, especially the part about how I look at the larger social construct behind every thing I do. Either that's a hell of a good guess, or there might be something to this....funny, I was just doing that this morning, explaining how what I thought was not only an inane story to begin with about ghosts/mediums.Native Americans that someone was in love with was actually quite racist....I bet they still think I'm full of it. Basically I felt that they needed to look at the bigger picture-how in the 19th century mediums were all the rage, and so was racism....I won't go into details, but trust me....the "Indians" weren't painted in a flattering light in this story....I was more disappointed the the person in question couldn't see the connection though....:(

Well, there you go...back to studying I suppose.....vote tomorrow!
