A series of disorganized thoughts, just thoughts. I recognize how these can be very, very wrong. And I know how these can be very, very absurd. And very, very old.

 

***

Why do we grow tired of the things we once thought were beautiful? Upon acquiring something, why do we suddenly think that it wasn't as good as we thought when it wasn't within reach?

Because these things, these things that we can acquire -- these are finite things. We get to see every angle of these finite things -- we get to consume every detail. We aspire for something better, not because we "get used" to these pretty things. They become boring after a while, because there is nothing anymore to know further.

When you look for a partner, he has got to be someone... whom you will never learn to regard as furniture. Still, it is essential that you get to know him very well, for you to know if he's the right person. But can you really know a person? Even if you know him now, you never know what kind of person he will become in the future. Yes, eventually, you will know more and more of his secrets, but it would never reach the point that you will know everything.

And these secrets, it's not like they stop from increasing, do they?

What we do not know fully, we do not grow tired of. As well-known as this is, I still question why we cling most to what we don't understand. Because we like the challenge? We aspire for what we cannot acquire? Because we like limitless things? Why run a race without knowing if there is a finish line?

***

 

Relatively, I have less inhibitions than others. I'm pretty much an open book. It's okay for me to commit mistakes, when I have good intentions; mistakes that I've never committed before. It's okay for me to lose persons who cannot take me as I am.

I guess, people have inhibitions because they are afraid of being judged, afraid of being unaccepted, afraid of being left behind. Afraid of losing their mystery that makes them so attractive in the first place. Afraid of offending people.

Why are we so scared of being offensive?

Can't we always make up?

Yes, some mistakes are unforgivable.

But those who do not have the heart to forgive, when you have explained your side... don't you think... that they are not worth our time and effort?

I'm always fascinated by your thoughts. It's the kind of thinking that makes me want to think more.

There is that quote, "Wonders never cease," but it's not singular.

"What we do not know fully, we do not grow tired of."

Yes. I never grow tired of what I do not know...but the problem is, will THEY grow tired of what they don't know about me? Will he? Will that person I love so much grow tired of what he doesn't know about me?

Your thoughts, athough you claim to be absurd and disorganized, are quite, in fact, the opposite. I love how you challenge me with your thoughts. It keeps me on my head, heart and feet. :)

I don't think I have ever regarded a person as an object, or a furniture. I guess  that when I look at people, I don't want to look at them without considering their human side. Their emotional side. Spiritual.

As for the second one. I think that not all human beings have the capacity to forgive that easily. Especially if they are hurt. Especially if they are the ones on the receiving end of the blow. If other people will not have any patience for people like them, then how could you expect them to change without any help or guidance?

(on running the race chuchu)
because it's good to be perfect :D
seryoso, it is, kaya nga siya perfect eh :))

at gusto nating maging perfect, because it's good to be perfect, and not being imperfect is not as good as being perfect; so kung bakit race race chuchu, because man is / wants-to-be good :D

(pero bakit ngaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?)
