     It seems like a lot of my most interesting conversations happen when I'm supposed to be studying. I think it's probably because I'm doing everything I possibly can to avoid it.

     A few nights ago while in the midst of such an internal struggle I started talking to my friends. One wished he could go to the bathroom without moving, because he simply did not want to get up. Collectively we started talking and decided that if you could just teleport your "waste" to another dimension then this would obviously be the easiest way of accomplishing his goal. After a few laughs and funny smirks we finally started to study.

     Yesterday I was thinking about how sad this idea is. It would be the panicle of human technological achievement to be able to teleport anything to another dimension and the first thing my friends and I could think of was to teleport shit. How sad but true is this? If such a thing was possible I know for a fact there would be more than one person who would think that it would be an excellent idea to use such a technology to dump all of our garbage into another dimension.

     I think it's an intrinsic part of a human being to think "it's not a problem if it's not my problem." By teleporting our trash to another dimension it would be out of mind and out of site. However, what if another dimension figured this out before us? How would you like it if a warm steamy pile of... I think you get the idea, now it's YOUR problem! This idea was one more reminder at how rare it is to find someone that genuinely cares for another human. Not a loved one and not a friend, but loves blindly. A person who is willing to sacrifice a little bit of their self-interest in order to make another person's life better. I'm talking about people like Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King Jr.

     I feel that the capacity to love like this is within us all, it just takes a little digging to find it.
