Wise Words

For those of you who haven't read "Tuesdays with Morrie," read it. It has some excellent take-away lessons in it.

Currently, the class I'm teaching is Cultural Anthropology, and I'm learning a LOT - not about what culture is, but what culture isn't. I love what Morrie says...

"Culture - don't buy into it. I don't mean you disregard every rule of your community. I don't go around naked. I don't run through red lights. The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value -- those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone or any society - determine those for you."

"It's the same for women not being thin enough, or men not being rich enough. It's just what our culture would have you believe. Don't believe it."

Until next Tuesday, think on these wise words...and as always, I'm open for feedback. It's called 'leave a comment.' ;)
