Wandering emo thoughts at 3:40 in the AM:
Why is it the realities we know to be joyful are so fleeting, yet the realities we know to be sad sre permenantly etched to the back of our minds?
Prime example: "the rat race." Everyday ppl Work,make money, spend, pay bills, work more, make more, spend more, and pay more bills. That is what I call a sad reality and the thought of working my ass off for the next 60-80 years is permanently etched into my mind. The thought of what this "race" accomplishes; " nice home, car, wife (if I can get one), and family are just fleeting thoughts compared to the grind it takes to attain them.
Or maybe, I've got it all wrong! Maybe it's not sad realities that are etched into our minds but that we associate sad realities with permanent thoughts. Marrige, dead-end jobs, kids, resposibility... they're all reasons ppl have not only been depressed about but also killed themselves over. When something becomes a permanent fixture in life, there is no changing it. We become restless and agitated with thoughts like "this is the last chick I'll ever get to F*&k?" Or "I'll never get another promotion, this is where I'll stay till the day i die?"
Maybe the emminent thought of death gives us an instinct that tells us to experience all that we can before we die. We have a deep-rooted belief that life is supposed to ebb, flow, oscilate and undulate so that when these chaotic parts of life flow in our direction, oscilate, and undulate the way we plan it to, at just the right moment, in just the right way,............ we experience the fleeting moments that are happiness.
I say fleeting because life is obligated to change soon after happy moments. if life doesn't change after those moments, then it becomes permanent. If life is permanent then we can't place our new bets on the conditions of life that will determine our happiness. IF YOU LIVE A LIFE IN WHICH YOU CAN'T DECIDE THE CONDITIONS OF YOUR HAPPINESS BECAUSE YOUR LIFE CAN NEVER CHANGE, YOU LEAD THE SADDEST REALITY THERE IS.
But hey, who's to say what's real when ur nearly delussional at 4 AM.... >o< [YAWN] sleeptime
