For those who may be wondering, ‘Enan’ (in my blog title) is a Hebrew name meaning ‘having big eyes, or curious’. I was trying to think of a clever way to express my insatiable and methodical thirst for knowledge, and the significance of names is appealing to me… wallah… Enan.
My mom tells me that when I was a young child anytime her answer to me was ‘because’ I retorted, “’because’ isn’t good enough (very respectfully, I’m sure… not)!” I’ve always felt I needed to know why things are the way they are, and then determine if they really need to be that way. I’m sure I frustrated the heck out of my parents (and probably still do) but I’m grateful to live ‘the examined life’ as Aristotle called it, or in other words, to be a red pill kind of girl. Although I’ve come to appreciate the idea of tradition now that I have a family, I’ve never been a proponent for its own sake – if it has a satisfactory meaning behind it, great. Sing ‘Rock-a-Bye Baby’ to your infant… why?
There is nothing wrong with Blue Pill kind of people. I’m sure they have more fun in life. They are probably many of the Sanguines of the world. We’re all wired differently, and thank God for that! If the world was full of ‘Melancholy Examiners’ like me – it would shut down for days at a time trying to make a decision or pondering something of probably little significance.
I’m not a ‘put people into a box’ kind of girl, but if you love to learn about yourself and find out how you and your loved ones predominantly bring value to the world (and how you suck), you may like this website: www.mypersonality.info. I really dig diving into personalities. If anyone else knows of any great personality sites or books, feel free to post them in the comments.
Enjoy!
