"Once begun, life goes till it's gone..."
Then You Look At Me, Celine Dion
Question 1What sort of person have I become?
Do I live vicariously?
Is that bad? - the lady in the park with the old fox... (can't remember the name of the short story we studied at school?)
Am I unable to show my real self?
What is that real self?
Was I not the girl who everyone praised as "true to herself"?
What happened?
Do I need to 'grow up'?
How am I perceived?
Has the gap between who I think I am and who I really am widened?
Has the gap between who I am and who other people think I am widened?
Is the gap between who I think I am and who other people think I am a large crevass that cannot be bridged?
Will this involve movement and adjustment of tectonic plate scale?
Question 2There are those things you thought were put to rest, but simple words can bring back the dead.
Why does this happen? Why do old problems resurface? Do they evolve like viruses to overcome our defenses and attacks? Is there full cure?
Will ponder later. Too tired. Just probably need some time alone. Lots of time alone.
Oh yeah, I read this article in the New Scientist about how this newish idea that the behaviours of those tiny states that make up the quanta of quantum theories have predetermined sets of behaviours... it was suggesting that this has implications for 'free will'. Some of the people were saying that free will is something we HAVE to believe in in order for us to function. Ironic. But I just thought it was a bit silly to have to go that FAR to argue against free will. But I guess if you were to pair "solid" evidence with philosophy... but we don't have the technology to measure that sort of thing yet... they are only mathematical theorem. Interesting.
Anyway, I went and took some pictures today to try and calm the heavy seas...
