    As I continued to chat with my pastor that day, I really sensed the hurt in his eyes – the anger that comes from an unsolvable injustice, the tiredness of a problem. “What’s wrong?” I finally asked, “Having a bad day?”  Sensing that I was truly concerned, he let the truth be told.  “I talked with a woman today whose baby died suddenly of unknown causes. As we worked through her grief, she talked about how numerous friends and family, even a religious leader had patted her on the back, shook their heads and said, ‘It was God’s will.’ I find few things worse to say to a grieving parent.  Saying nothing at all would be of more help.”  It was obvious from our conversation that he had an understanding greater than I about God’s will, and his insight created in me a curiosity and desire to learn more.

    In his speech entitled “because we can, we must” (University of Pennsylvania Almanac, 2004), Bono delivered his anecdotes and appeals, ushering the graduates to resolve the underlying conundrums. First, Bono humbly accepts the Doctor Degree of Law and recounts the educational experiences that he has acquired. Bono did not attend college; however, his acceptance enlightens the graduates that true education lies in rectifying mistakes in life than merely in books. Second, Bono proposes that commencement is a turning point for the would-be undergraduates, and that “big idea” is necessary to bring about the change. In other words, university education has equipped the graduates to tackle issues such as failures in government, global warming, and poverty in some regions. Speaking of poverty，Bono narrates his experiences in Africa which have shaped his persona as “a rock star with a cause”. Meanwhile, he praised the American spirit of “no problem we cannot fix”, from which he comments that we could solve all problems with efforts. Thus he encourages graduates to “betray the age”, meaning, to provoke revolutions and to explore and tackle the issues using creativity. Last, Bono reassures the graduates that arming with degree, they could combat the problems. To close his speech, Bono appeals that their generation is to undertake the responsibility of erecting a new world.

I’m not as bitter as this story may lead you to think. In fact, I am an adamant believer in the statement (overheard three years ago in the Coffee House): “God has never taken anything away from me that he hasn’t replaced with something better.”

    Television has come a long way since it was first introduced. Originally, it was thought that the masses that watch television enjoyed the more simple shows that would tell you exactly what was going on from start to finish. In Steven Johnson’s article, “Watching TV Makes You Smarter”, Johnson argues that this is actually not the case. In fact, Johnson argues that much more people enjoy shows that involve multi threading, or multiple plots that are all connected.

    I started to cry all the time, even during school. I just couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. I was not the same person anymore. I felt hopeless. I didn’t think that anything would work and no one could do anything about it. I felt so alone and powerless. I kept thinking, "how could God be doing this to me. I 've been in so much pain for so long, when was it going to stop?" I was so frustrated with God that he wasn’t answering my prayers, he wasn 't helping me get through my problems, and I couldn’t help but feeling abandoned by him. This led me to start thinking that he wasn’t there listening to me. I started to question if there really was a God or if this whole Catholic faith was just a joke. I stopped believing in God, because if He was really there, then how could he let his child suffer like this? I would go to church still, but only because my parents made me, but I didn 't sing or say any if the prayers because I didn 't believe in anything they
