an open letter from my brain...

Nov 26, 2007 18:34

I think it’s true that most people struggle with identity their whole life. I’d like to write another mindless paper praising kindness, compassion, selflessness, and other positive traits, the world isn’t like this. Throughout my life, I’ve had trouble wording some of my thoughts. Perhaps it’s because they are innate and no word can describe my “ ( Read more... )

If I didn't know you i would assume you smoked a lot of pot... especially since you were able delve into a journal entry so profoundly deep it was surreal, almost ( ... )

For a few years I was always dead set on being open to other ideas, but still being "loyal" to the roots of my choices, and of what I thought to be "right" or "wrong" at the time. I'm pretty sure I'm not too concerned with all that jargon anymore ( ... )

Christ, and I thought I thought too much. I never thought of thinking to much about how I think, like you do...if that makes sense.

In any event, I believe I can...agree (if you want to call it that...since you never really came to a conclusion on any of the topics, I can't really agree...we'll say relate in thought?) with what you're saying. As I may seem very one sided in my arguments, that's just my personality. If I think that something is right for a certain reason, I'll take it and run. Or, of course, if I could personally benefit by the outcome. Obviously, I don't make these decisions if my actions or words put somebody in danger, or something of that matter, but you get the picture. Like Jamie said, if it's the wrong choice, you live and you learn ( ... )

Also, I didn't really think about it until now, but your whole entry seems like an extremely more in-depth chapter of what you and I were talking to my mom about a few weeks ago.

honestly, i just started typing and my fingers just did the rest. i was shocked when i found out how much i typed.

ummm idk. i don't think any clear thesis can be discerned from it, but to me the theme seems to be the conditioning of the human mind and the illusion of choice.

i'm just questioning things, not necessarily making any statements...

i guess i'll have to try to clarify that next time i wrote one of these... hopefully never

This makes me think back to philosophy class. I liked the idea that we are just characters in a novel. The author knows where we are going, and is still deciding how we get there. I guess that makes a higher being up/out there. I don't know what that means or if I believe it, I just thought it was nifty, and I am just tired and thinking about this a wee bit too much.

P.S.
Jitterbug!
(theme song for our movie trailer could be zombies. just throwing that out there)

i kind of imagined zombie to be playing during like the middle of a big epic battle scene and the song starts playing and the movie goes into slow motion and we all start just looking around at the desolation and damage we are doing and tears well up in our eyes, chad dies shortly after
