I follow a blog about sociology and read something that made me think...
In Peter Berger's new book, Adventures of an Accidental Sociologist: How to Explain the World Without Becoming a Bore,(which I haven't read, only saw a review for but now thinking about reading!) he says...
"...Sociology suggests that we are puppets of society, but unlike puppets we can look up and discover the strings to which we are attached, and this discovery is a first step toward freedom."
I find these words empowering in a way because we all feel pulled by different strings, whatever they are in in life. And this quote simply reminds all of us that we can take a step toward freedom from the things that seem to pull us away from what we want or the things that seem to tie us down.
I like that quote.... I think that all college student tend to feel that way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote. In our society we tend to feel pulled in all different directions, a lot of the time directions that we don't want to do. So, it's refreshing to see a quote that says we have a choice!
