everything is relative, everything is linked.
Humans are doomed to repeating their "mistakes" over and over and over again. Today i hit a pothole, a damn big pothole. I knew it was there, i had done the same thing yesterday. I couldnt see the pothole because it was dark, much like yesterday and so i hit it. Preceeding the impact i began to swear...but of course- i am an idiot, but am i really? We say we study history so as to not make the same mistakes we made in the past, but this quest will never be fulfilled. The world's "mistakes" are but the same ones circling us repeatedly. Why is this? Well because we have yet to change our views on what a mistake is. Mistakes are merely based on your own/ and or the worlds morals, which usually go hand in hand (but not always)Mistakes are in our heads, as well as pain and importance....in fact all human emotion is. If we didnt think something was wrong- it would not be a mistake, or in most instances...if we didnt care. For example- If the whole world smoked their whole lives and noone knew any different then it would not be a bad thing....in the eyes of anyone. Yes we would have shorter life spans but we would not know the difference, until someone proved with "scientific evidence" that we would live longer if we didnt. People violate other people every day. You are violating someone by breathing the same air, and yet we are so defensive. There are people in the world who are happier than you can imagine but they live in poverty. Then there are people who are millionaires that are miserable. Now if you put the two in each other's situation do you think they would be happy? Neither one of them would be happy, but who would you rather be?
Truth be i have thought about the whole "wish" thing...about what one wish i would wish if i had one..(wow haha that was sorta confusing) anyway...i would wish to be totally and completely happy...because (and as selfish as this sounds) nothing would matter if i was happy, completely happy with everything around me....not having to care about a thing. I would not care what anyone else's life was like.....it would not affect me.....because i would be happy regardless...and i would not feel bad. I know...its really selfish...i know, but honestly isnt that what everyone wants?
It it inevitable that everything that i think will contradict itself.....but thats just how it is
i am sorry michael....for monday
