Nothing is fundamentally wrong with you that isn’t fundamentally wrong with every other human on the planet. Humans are only human, not superhumans. What’s fundamentally right about you is that you’re you.

The important questions about promoting values are almost always “whose values?” and “how?”.

According to a library friend, it’s pretty alright. I imagine it’s an album people who loved “Jesus Walks” would really appreciate.

I agree with the comment–that tends not to be a question people ask, unless they’re at least a little self-reflective. Humility, and being able to admit what you don’t know, are important marks of intellectual maturity. No need to beat yourself up about it though.

I and my assistants enjoyed the balloon. I’m sorry other people didn’t enjoy the gesture. Perhaps others aren’t accustomed to receiving missives the way I am? If someone perceived harm through your actions (even if you didn’t intend it), you would need to be the one to apologize. I can’t really do it on your behalf; that’s just the nature of apology.

C’est une question difficile. People and things are different. Despite these differences, being sure to consider everyone and everthing fairly would be one way of being equal.

He comes every year for commencement with the exception of 2013, when he protested BC’s choice of commencement speaker, Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, over his views on abortion. He also attends C21 events from time to time. One way to hear him is to go to a weekday noon mass at the Archdiocese pastoral center.

Everybody processes that part of their lives differently, and not always on the same schedule as everyone else. If it makes you uncomfortable or causes problems for you it might be worth talking to a therapist or counselor (Campus Health Services can help with that), but I’m reading more puzzlement than distress in your question. Be yourself, you’ll be fine.

Why does blame need to be placed in a situation where someone has fallen in the face of adversity? Failure, while sometimes demotivating, is an important part of learning — rather than asking yourself Whose fault is this?, try asking What can this teach me?

I’m sorry people are doing that. Perhaps let them know that they aren’t the first to notice. Or say, “It’s my cross to bear; I didn’t choose it.” It isn’t remotely meaningful that your surname happens to rhyme with a word in English. Maybe you could even learn all about penguins, and use the tired joke as a cue to inundate someone with penguin facts?
