More inspired thoughts and reflections
I had a conversation with Pascal for four hours straight today.

[deleted]...This then leads to Pascal pointing out that the I/E mentality ultimately leads to intolerance, that there has been a time when women weren't recognized as persons until that was revealed to be true, and then jaws began to drop to the shocking new relevation. There has been debates as to whether Jews are human beings, are people. And so he made his point as to where this I/E mentality leads - intolerance of differences, the feeling of superiority that one derives from being in a certain group.
This leads me to think that the feeling of superiority from being a part of something that you believe in...[deleted]...gives you a false sense of belonging when you have yet to find your place -

But, that is not to say that we, as human beings, are not similar to each other, or else it will be impossible to categorize us in order to simplify the complex and to make sense of this complicated world. It's not to say that similarity we share takes away from our uniqueness, as it does not. It is our similarity that connects us, in ways that we are able to share our joys, and relieve us of our pains to a sympathetic ear. It is our similarity that helps build great bonds from one to another. It's our similarity that makes it possible to unites us towards a common goal in times of crisis.

[this is still pertaining the topic of I/E mentality, and we've already debated on whether art and entertainment is distinguishable - like we've debated many times before - or that it is the pompous, infantile mentality of I/E that is at work, when in fact the essense lies in the actual state of its being - the what IS.]
However, when Pascal asked whether I believe to be making art or entertainment when I'm making music, I gave him an answer that he said impressed him deeply - which was to be expected, as we share very self centered attitudes...[deleted]. I told him that the music I make is of personal value and meaning to me. It may entertain other people to hear my work, or it may gave them appreciation in a meaningful sense. But be it art nor music, and regardless of to whom it is art, entertainment, or both as the same thing - my best work is personally relevant to me. [deleted]
Nothing else matters.

It's wonderful to be with him, not only because he inspires me think in new ways, and not only because he always appreciates sharing what new thoughts I expressed to him. As he told me tonight, we have somehow (I think this "somehow" can be explained by reading my previous entries) developed a prescious bond that allow us to be completely comfortable and at ease with each other's precense - [deleted] - [deleted]. Words cannot describe how much I value the friendship I shares with him, or how deeply and tenderly I love him. Feelings only grew with time, and that's a very good thing, as I have someone, and I am someone to a very special person, which is a treasure that I will keep close to my heart, always.
