Journaling

My good friend suggests writing for 20 minutes or so before you start in on a paper, because it is supposed to get all those synapses going. I am about to write a three page paper critically reviewing and thinking about a philosophical reading from our textbook. I read about Tao and Nature and the Creator. I am a little confused about the point that the author was trying to make. The implied suggestion is that we need to be in tandem with nature, but the author does not give a suggestion on how to do this. Nor does he really give a full argument on why to do this. It is mostly stated problems and solutions.

So I think my thesis might be something like: Chuang-tzu suggests that living at peace with nature is the best way to live, but fails to explain why or how. Despite the flaws with his writing, he does make suggestion that have strong implication, and aspects of his view are applicable to my Christian faith.

Or maybe: Chuang-tze presents the conflict between man and nature. I intend to critically asses his reasoning and write of the effects of his argument, both in general and to me personally as a Christian.

Well that is all.
