Friday is Thursday at STC

There are a lot of things that just don't make sense in life. Institutions make bad use of their facilities, and their faculty. Men and women fall in love and then exist in a stasis of "roommates forever." Life hangs on for all of us until we are too frail to do much about it. Why have these become principles of life?

What a place! It makes one think that the earth and life were launched and now thunder on down through a tunnel of time with no one in charge -- a kind of "deism" without control of any kind. And then there are moments of karma and goodness, or moments of extraordinary evil -- that make one cry out for control, control of some kind. Any kind. And we as humans -- with out free will -- often feel helpless and hapless to effect a change in course. Why? Why is life the way it is? Why are some people so unfairly lucky -- and die before a decent span of life is reached? Why do people get incurable diseases? Is it just back luck? Are our lives dependent on the thrown of dice in some supra-universe?
