Today in History of Philosophy, we were studying universalism, and I think I'm in love. I'll be honest, I wasn't really paying much attention during class, as I was stealthily reading Running with Sissors, which was recommened by Jessica, and which is pretty much exactly what all the critics called it thusfar (wonderful and sickening).
Anyway. Universalism. This philosopher (whose name I have already forgotten) suggested that we are all one; we are all made of the same stuff (and it's God-like), and therefore we all have one soul. If we all have one soul, we must all retire to the same place. It does quite negate the idea of Heaven and Hell, but it does assume that we are all going to one place or the other. How wonderful is that?
I think it gives real depth to the phrase "brotherhood of man."
Please, remember me, happily, by the rosebush laughing.
