I like the discussion we had regarding the “wall” today in class. I thought the example Juan gave about failing a test, and accepting it because once you do then there’s no where you can really go but up. I thought that this was a really interesting concept and something very relatable. I feel like there are always going to be “walls” since there is no way to ever really understand or know everything. When one wall is torn down, then another one is put it and it’s a constant cycle. I find this really frustrating because of the fact that you could never know everything, and that is very very frustrating. I also thought the discussion about the “sublime and beautiful” was interesting. By destroying the beautiful you are taking control and power over it. I understand where he’s coming from and I have also had similar feelings by doing things, or saying things to things or people. I think it is a strange a concept and not one that many people would like to attribute to themselves because basically you’re saying “yeah I do horrible things and I get pleasure from it”, and that sounds very sadistic.
