Thoughts

I haven't written in so long. I hardly ever write for the public. I thought this would be something new to try out--a good opportunity to throw out thoughts and ideas.

Today I read Bill Gates' Harvard Commencement speech. It was very touching and one thing that stood out the most was him quoting the Bible through his mother.

But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. -- Luke 12:48

Then I was curious about Bill's faith and stumbled upon some articles through google. He believes in facts and efficiency. There was an article comparing him with Camus and even as strong of an atheist Camus is, he continues to battle with the questions of faith. Maybe Bill wants to focus his energy and doesn't see the benefits of searching deeper into religion. That's all for today!
