          I see myself in Ruthie from Linda Brewer's "20/20". While Bill plays the role of a rigid realist who enjoys theoretical arguments, Ruthie is quite opposite. She sees the world much differently than Bill, as Bill says later near the end of the story she is, "capable of seeing wonderful sights". As the two drive along Ruthie takes in the scenery and imagines things like Big Foot and UFO's in the landscapes they pass through. Ruthie doesn't seem to be interested in theoretical debate, but rather takes pleasure in the simplicity of the moment. Like Ruthie, I attempt to never take things too seriously. While theoretical debates can be fun and at times good for the heart, they too cause a lot of negative energy and hold us back from just enjoying life as it is. Things must not always be debated, sometimes we gain more from sitting back and "letting it ride".
