watching a favorite television show sure can be entertaining and for most people, a hobby for pure enjoyment. it does sound appealing, right. sitting motionless, eyes glued to the tempting glass screen, using your most important senses (or so we are lead to believe) of sight and hearing. the program continues and you are oblivious to your surroundings even ignoring the fact that you need to use the bathroom because the most anticipated scene of the show is about to come on.
laing argues that parts of us are scattered, that we are isolated from our own experiences. that people are taught from birth to ignore most of their own experience and that a normal person is one who does that successfully. especially our physical experiences. people are not familiar with feeling their own experience from being so warped into the ideal, which causes society to forget how to use even the simplest of senses, like going to---- r.d laing may be right, i am slightly made of up incomplete fragments rather than a whole in examining the modalities of my own experience because i mostly ignore the noumenon. i still try my best to finish talking to my friends on aim before doing something beneficial like taking a walk in central park. however, through the process of considering r.d laing's arguments i have gained real insight into my life.

i think that this intro is very good and intreging! you should keep up the work and get to the body paragraphs.
but i do agree with waht you said about not putting the more important things in front of you , like i usually end up hanging out with friends in an apt. instead of going on the grass in central park.
but overall, you should keep up the good work and get past the introduction! good luck!!
