Well, not really, but as we were sitting in our apartment, I was sitting in darkness, and she was sitting in light, and of course our blog topic was immediately what we thought of.
I think this subject pretty much describes my life here in Athens. We go out during the day, and stay out for a good part of the night drinking coffee. That's just kind of the culture, and I love it.
I think this topic also made me reflect on dualism, and the difference between my life at home and my life here in Athens. It's very different; PLU kind of feels like a world away, or a dream. Then again, I kind of feel like I'm living in a dream here. I've developed a short part of my life here, and it's refreshing to compare the differences.
In much of what we've been studying, various sects of Israelites believed that only they were the chosen ones who would live eternally. Studying the eschatological theories of these different people has caused me to think about my own religious identity. Is there an afterlife? Does being a Christian mean that I will someday see this afterlife? And even if there isn't, doesn't Christianity give me fair guidelines on how to fulfill this life and live it the best way I can?
I think this photo just kind of says it all.
I a child of light and of darkness; I am finding my balance.
