call for desperate measures.
so some friends are taking part in medical research. not as research assistants but more as the guinea pigs. it's pretty good money. like $1700. but they have to spend 3 full days (you sleep there) on two separate occassions as the researchers keep an eye on you.
i was thinking about doing something like that but i chickened out. why? well...
1. i don't need the money THAT much. if money gets too tight, i can wipe my ass on old lecture notes instead of buying toilet paper.
2. i'm sure it's safe but what if something goes wrong? that's obviously why they have these research experiments right? to investigate the possible side-effects? and hence the word EXPERIMENTS?
3. if you actually do a per hour calculation, it works out to only $10 or $11 per hour. which is still better than my $0/hour i guess.
4. is this really that different from prostitution?
speaking of which, did you know that prostitution is legal in the australian state of new south wales (as long as you are over 18) and in the state of victoria (as long as you are licensed)? but i digress.
i don't mean to look-down/condemn/denounce prostitutes or research participants.

우선 너의 생각에 전적으로 동의한다.
우리말에 길(road)이 아니면 가지말라고 했다. 여기서 말하는 길은 일반적으로 불리는 street 나 road 를 말하는것이 아니라 정상적인 판단으로 내려진 옳바른 길을 의미한다. 현재의 너희들의 위치는 많은 의학적 지식을 쌓는것도 중요하지만 이와 마찬가지로 올바른 마음을 가져야 할때라고 생각한다. 지금은 얼마를 벌고 얼마나 좋은 생활을 누리는가 라는것은 중요한것이 아니다. 어려움속에서도 옳바른 생각을 갖고 자신있게 헤쳐나가는 너의 모습에 오직 주님께 감사할뿐이다.
