i was feeling down tonight and had some con law reading to do. the funniest thing ever is that something i read in justice holmes’ dissent actually comforted me. lol. yeah, it’s super weird and i probably should’ve just kept this to myself but oh well.obviously, this is out of context since i am not upset about free speech and the first amendment but here it is anyway: “…all life is an experiment. Every year if not every day we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.” i think this resonated with me because i have been somewhat emotionally battered after the last couple of weeks. i feel like i’ve been clinging to the safe side of the road more than ever. this quote just reminds me that we’re all in the same boat. no one really knows what they’re doing, not even the justices of the highest court in america. everyone just tries the best that they can with what they have and hope it all works out okay. it’s good for me to remember that. i have to get back to reading.
