In class yesterday, Jerrick told me that I was thinking too narrowly about credit. I had considered this before - the title of my last post was actually meant for content more relevant to a broader and different dogma - but I was nervous to step away from a dogma I felt comfortable confronting to face one that I wasn't sure how to handle.

You idea is very compelling. I agree that this is a problem and with the credit, it is frustrating that banks and sellers check your credit for everything, even if you have a lot of savings and have no history of debt. People ought to only buy what they can afford.
ReplyDeleteWow. I agree with Stephanie. What a way to expand a specific situation to a greater and grander dogma in society. Maybe we need to focus more on the abstract the Enlightenment guys did. Like you said--a HOME is more important that a HOUSE. If society could see that--could see that the personal, spiritual, internal feelings matter more than outward expressions or physical tokens--we'd be better off with our credit situation.
ReplyDeleteI like the way your idea developed! The "house is not a home" thought is very interesting. That idea actually challenges preconceived definitions--a very Enlightenment way of thinking.
