Psuedocheem thought(s) for the day:
Human existence is full of tension (not contradictions, mind you--there's a subtle but vital difference). As part of the human race, we have to believe in the Big, in the Larger. Things like Love and God and Belief itself. But as a mere human being, we have to believe in the small, the simple, the uncapitial-lettered. Things like love and god and belief. See the difference? See the tension? It's enough to kill sometimes. And some people do, of course. Kill themselves I mean.
Sometimes I run myself like I'm the PM of this country called David. I weigh and make choices that go sometimes go against ground sentiment, and have to defend my own country's interest even if it means being uncompromising and, yes, at times unapologetically ruthless to other nations. All I can say is: I hope the Opposition never wins.
I strive to be more than human, and in so doing, prove myself to be merely human.
Tolstoi: "Everyone thinks about changing the world, no one thinks about changing themselves". vs Gandhi "Be the change you wish to see in the world".
Centuries apart, but right on the same mark. Great minds indeed.
I...believe in things. Perhaps to a greater extent than I believe in people, sometimes. It would all be alot easier if I were autistic, I sometimes think. Maybe I am, mildly. Who's to say I'm not?
And yes, as you can tell by my frame of mind, I am stuck in the office on a Sunday, with nought to do with a few hours' work and a few hours' contemplation/reading. Not a bad deal really. I should do this more often (but don't tell my boss that). Hm. I'll keep editing this entry and see how long it gets by the end of duty.
