Delaying Desire: When Tomorrow Never Comes
By Bradley Yam, SY ‘21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics and Computer Science.
When John and I sat down under the beautiful beams of Berkeley’s Dining hall to swap stories about our novel and wondrous versions of The Yale Experience™. Our conversation was charged with awe, but also an accompanying anxiety to make the most of our time here. Out of the blue, John asks, “But really, are you satisfied?”
The Promise of Greatness
By Raquel Sequeira, TD ‘21. Raquel is majoring in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry.
We look on our four years at Yale as a precious chance to find a niche in this enormous world where we can maximize our skills and passions. As it happens, resource optimization is a Christian virtue as much as a capitalist one.
Desiring Unity: Reflections on Protest and Protestantism
By Sharmaine Koh, SM ‘22. Sharmaine is majoring in History.
I realise that protest in and of itself is not the problem, but the solution. Underlying the spirit of protest and protestantism is a desire for both truth and unity.
Thoughts on Catholic Liturgy and Expressive Individualism
By Jadan Anderson, MC ‘22. Jadan is majoring in Economics.
The rhythms became one when I allowed liturgy to challenge the idea that authenticity is only the work of one pair of hands.
A Dialogue on Desire at Durfee’s
By Ben Colon-Emeric, TD ‘22. Ben is majoring in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.
Max: If I see that someone is more successful than me at something, I want to improve so that I can be as good as they are. It’s normal.
Joan: Is it normal though? You’re saying that you see someone succeeding and want to be like them so that you can feel better about yourself; isn’t that envy?
A Fear of Far Drops
By Bella Gamboa, JE ‘22. Bella is majoring in Humanities.
What, then, is the distinction between productive intellectual pursuits, and the destructive desire for preeminence that dooms Daedalus?
