Greetings

My name is Benjamin Reyes but you can call me Ben. This is my first ever blog so I am not entirely sure how this all works but I am fairly confident I will be able to figure it out sooner or later. Until then I apologize for any weird formatting or other stuff like that.

Now that you know my name you must be wondering what the heck I am doing here. We humans have the unique ability of being able to engage in contemplation. As contemplative beings we can analyze, evaluate and reason. This ability that we all have is something I wish to explore with you and that is the purpose of this blog.

Now for a bit more about me. I am a federal employee and have been for six years and counting. I live in the Washington, DC metro area and I love it. I am also currently in the process of earning a Masters in Public Administration (MPA). As an MPA student I have to read ridiculous amounts and part of the reason for this blog is so that I can share some of my thoughts about said readings with you.

I will begin the blog by discussing ethics in the realm of public administration primarily because that is one of the classes I am taking at the moment. My goal is to post weekly on either Friday or Saturday. Stay tuned as my first post on the subject of ethics will be next week. Bookmark www.contemplativebeing.blogspot.com
