"Can't get the stink off / He's been hanging round for days"

Why do we openly say something we know isn't true?

Do we say it in hopes of making the falsities true?

Do we say it because we are ignorant of the truth?

Do we say it to hear it out loud?

Do we say it because we enjoy lying?

Do we say it because we don't know the real answer?

Why?

~~~~~~~~

Does anyone ever truly know what they want to do with the rest of their life?

I have two points I know for sure.

A) Where I am right now
B) Where I would like to be when I am 40

And somewhere in between is where life happens. I can't help but think as long as you are doing something you love then you are where you want to spend the rest of you life. Or at least for that moment. People are constantly searching for what will make them happy. Do we ever really find what is going to make us happy. Or is it all just a mind trick. How long can you keep yourself content with what you have? Why not just throw all these philosophical questions aside and just live?

I know why I can't throw them aside. Because something in the base of my spine won't allow me to fathom doing that. If I settle then I won't survive. I can't explain it beyond what I have just typed. Anything you really want is worth the fight. You yourself might be a completely different person but that is fine. Make yourself happy.

Sometimes you have to stare the fear and anxiety right in the face and jump. Because if you don't then you won't get hurt. Getting hurt is half the battle. Picking yourself up is the rest.

If you want it just do it. You might be surprised with the outcome.



On a completely different note I just got done watching the film Brick. I rather enjoyed it.
