HW 36

Elvis-
If we have realized that cool is our own definition of our own state of mind, than we would be doing more cool things to benefit ourselves than benefit others.
Umm I would add-
Our own definition of cool can allow us to branch out into individuals who can be truly happy. Without realizing that our current idea of "cool" is trapping us into certain "acts" that we play in our heads we are being held back from allowing ourselves to expand. This idea of feeling empty can be filled by finding ourselves. Its easier said than done though, we have been "trained" to have this idea of cool and stick to it and be limited to it that change is hard. It could be possible though, and once we get it done we can feel the relieve of being emotionally, physically and mentally relieved.

Katherine-
These (cool) paths don’t allow us to be authentic in any way and force us to become actors performing a character.

Try something such as-
This feeling of "cool" can only affect us in a way that does not allow us to be our true selves. We are forced to constantly change who we really are because we feel less than someone who seems to be "cooler." Honestly our status of "cool" can't be changed. Its already determined by what we have grown up to believe to be cool. This idea of trying to be cool is only making us waste significant time we can ver get back.
