A whole lotta nothin'
Absolutely wonderful; here I am, typing in an online journal for no reason in particular. Don't get me wrong, it's great to have some facet left open for random mental spewing, but I guess there's a certain sense of apprehension when you're spewing to yourself... It's not that I don't have any friends or anything, but I certainly don't have a clue on how to keep a journal. I guess this will be a learning experience for everyone involved...
Once upon a time, I can actually recall when life made a little more sense. Every day I find myself waking up to, it seems that life just gets more and more convoluted then before. It's not that things don't ever become clear to me, but it seems like things are becoming confusing much, much faster then they are being clarified. I guess this is to be expected, after all, if everything suddenly started to make sense, there'd be a sure sign that I'd have failed to consider some valid point of view. From what I can tell, if anyone tells you they know the answers to life, the best thing to do is smile and nod. Don't get me wrong, I definitely have very strong beliefs about this life, but I certainly don't claim to know any truth. With all the possibilities in this world, the only conclusion that I can confidently draw is that drawing conclusions leads to prejudice and misunderstanding. Therefore, it's not what someone else tells you that matters; every idea you accept and every slice of life you eat is a small portion of truth. Whether or not you agree with me doesn't really matter, because ultimately, an act of believing or disbelieving is a matter of inner truth, as long as the human race is still making free choices, then there's still hope for the future...
