Starving for the other

anxiety...

I am now anxious about how my birthday will go tomorrow. I am sitting here until my class at four when we have a justice circle in my Criminal Justice psych class... reading Dante, thinking about the exam we will get back tomorrow, and if I did bad on it I am screwed... can't drop it anymore and I HAVE to pass it. Plus I don't want it to ruin my birthday if I don't do as great as I thought I did on it.... after class today I have hip hop, only about 3 left... sad. I still don't know what I am doing for dinner tomorrow on my birthday... I am a planner, so this is hard for me. Dante Dante Dante...

Here is a random quote from Dante's Paradiso, I will interpret it my own way since it is not in the notes section in the back of the book:

"Now who are you to sit upon the bench,to judge events a thousand miles away, when your own vision spans so brief space?" (Canto 14.79)

This goes back to my idea of how people judge too much. How can they judge when they only have a limited perspective on another person. They aren't close enough to judge one fairly.... I guess Dante's lessons do apply in real life.
