Chapter Nine

I thought of something I actually have been able to make perfect sense of this morning at approximately 0120, and I'm pretty excited about it. Not because it's profound or anything (trust me, it's not), but it's something I resolutely decided upon without outside bias throwing me about. I was having a debate on facebook, and I noted everything to be derived by circumstance, in itself nothing particularly interesting or new. Pretty lame, actually. But then I was asked to expound upon this, to define it. Well, this is what I came up with in a nutshell (I'll save the meat for my real writing, not this humble blog):
Circumstance comes in four forms:

Spiritual
Emotional
Educational
Relational

K, a quick interjection before I expound upon each of these--I totally did not intend to find an acronym for "seer" as I thought of this in my head, but it was really amazing to find out that it was.

Essentially, these circumstances define what interests us and who we are by that basis. On that level, not a whole not more definition should be necessary.

Spiritual circumstances are those that relate to one's succeptibleness (is this even a word?) to superstition, myth, and most crucially, religion. Tied deeply into this is familial tradition, and this is a key part of what influences character from birth, regardless of whether one is "religious" or not and "superstitious" or not.

Emotional circumstances are those that relate to the figurative "heart." I would like to isolate this, though, as the heart in connection to other hearts. Friends, family, etc...; they all fit here. Being quite self-explanitory in its most basic nature, I shant expound on it any further.

Educational circumstances refer to anything the person in question cares to learn, care obviously being the key word in this. However one learns, schooling or otherwise, learning in of itself is very situational and determines one's interests and cares from a fairly early age outside of spiritual/traditional bounds. Remember that education will always extend beyond the classroom.

Relational circumstances...yes, they have absolutely nothing to do with relationships. Instead, this is centred more on the self, and the selfish nature of man. This covers anything that ties back to the person in question. For instance, silly high school gossip would fit right into this catagory, as it will immediately interest he or she that is the subject of such rumours and quite easily affect their fragile teenage decisions.

Linear Algebra's about to begin. Bai until later.
