Gunter's Logic.

Evening Bell at Mii Temple Ando Hiroshige I have heard the phrase "don't change for anyone" many times so far in my life. The idea that someone should accept who we are instead of us changing to benefit others. Social media is full of this "you're beautiful the way you are" pictures and videos to help boost your confidence. We all want to feel good and we want them likes on our pictures. We want people to tell us we are beautiful, that our personality is valued, and that we are an overall good person. Do you think you're a good person? We all want validation for our good deeds. We all want to hear the "good job". The main question though is what are we actually doing in our lives and how can we become better as a person? What can you do to be a better you? Could you eat better? Could you be more kind? Could you be more forgiving? Could you be more empathetic? Could you work harder? Could you find a better discipline? There is a lot w...

MAJOR SPOILERS I will be talking about the ending. I am a firm believer in giving time to process any entertainment we engage in being reading, movies, television, video games and art. I finished 13 Reasons Why on Thursday and I wanted time to digest what I watched. The second season was just as painful to watch as the first one and I don't mean painful by the scenes of violence and sexual assault but just the story progression, writing, and character development. This is still a teenage drama with dealing with situations that teenagers may experience. My issue is that with the major success of the first season, Netflix wanted to up the ante by going more shocking than the first season. Which what the first season led to warning advisors before each episode, a warning when you paused the show, and a link to more information of the end of each episode. The second season now has led to protests and petitions to cancel the series. I for one did not think it was more gr...

Final Scene in Avengers: Infinity War MAJOR SPOILERS IN THIS POST YOU'VE BEEN WARNED If you have seen Avengers: Infinity War (AIW) , then you recognize this image. It's where Thanos sits and watches the sunrise which he mentions earlier in the movie. He explains that once he has all the stones he will wipe out half of all leaving things and then watch the sunset...and that is exactly what happens. After the movie, my future father-in-law and I just sat and tried to wrap our minds around what we just watched. AIW was a good movie, I would definitely see it again and seeing how all the characters work around each other was good to see. I loved the introduction to the iron-spider, Thor meeting the Guardians of the Galaxy, and how everyone had some form of significance. What we are used to in every Marvel Universe movie is a good ending. Even the ending of Civil War ended on a somewhat good note. We are not used to seeing the Avengers lose which they did miserably in thi...

Eye of Hiroshima (Atomic bomb) by Oscarliima What makes you and I human? Is it because we behave in our society? That we live in our communities? Not killing each other for survival. What separates us from animals? What separates us from anything on this planet? What would happen if you stripped away what makes us human? What would happen if you stripped away our animalistic minds? What would happen if you stripped away our will to live? I sit in this little bunker. I'm laying in bed with a cigarette between my lips. The person who lays next to me reaches over for my cigarette.He wanted to share since we were running low on rations. I keep smoking away. I don't care about him. I didn't care about anyone anymore. Time was no longer with us anymore. We had been in this bunker for so long I couldn't say if it was day or night. We all slept till we woke and did what we wanted. At this moment I wanted to smoke and be left alone. I got out of bed put my clothes on and ...

The Confusion of Tongues by Gustave Doré  Pride is a terrible thing. We have all acted on our pride which has led to not so good places in our lives. Pride has led to the end of friendships, families, and people that we love to no longer be in our lives. Pride has also been expanded upon throughout histories such as the ego and narcissism. The painting above represents to tower of Babel, where the pride of people had the idea of trying to reach heaven. They didn't make it and instead, God made them all speak different languages making everyone babel...bummer. With my last post about gluttony, you the reader can see where I am going with my blog. Pride can be split into a good and bad. Someone with an inflated ego is bad, but someone with high self-esteem is good. See how this could be seen as the same person with two drastic perceptions? I can't vouch for every society, but where I am right now and the culture that I live in, pride has ruined a lot of people and I believ...

Gluttony by Jacques de l'Ange What a time to be alive. We have advanced so far in our society and we have made so much progress in our community. All the diseases we have cured, all the technologies we have created, and changes in the way we interact with the people in our lives everyday. I feel like this is the best time to be alive, but I feel with every great stride in the advancement of humanity we have new problems. We have overindulged in our what we see in our media these days. I want to bring up to big advancements to our society, one old and one new. The News Should we as a society know everything about everything? The media is always reporting from all over the world and keeping us updated, informed, in the know , about everything that is everything. Should we know everything though? I hear a lot of people discuss that they don't watch the news due to all the negativity that is reported. That the news may portray that nothing good is happening to the world...
