A Blurt
3:01 pmIt's the sort of straight talk we all want to believe so hard to be executing. Well I've got news for us all, sunshine: our combined straightness in communication isn't enough to drown a fly in.
We talk and talk and we all wear badges of merits of all the beliefs and strong-willed opinions we hold so dear, yet when it comes to actual meeting of opinions, nothing really holds against a sound argument. Then, emotions, or a discreet breakdown. Your choice, really.
What is funny about the matter is that this confusion with the self-proclaimed truths and general rules of everyone's individual little world is actually helpful when it comes to clashing ideologies with humans you actually prefer keeping around. You just don't want to blatantly deny them, and twist your own idea, maybe seeing something new and fresh, a point of view that has been obviously so beneath you, you needed help to retrieve it from the depths. Surely.
You might turn your idea, then theirs, later on, playing, toying with a thought that has been so solid and unmovable before. All that weight, lifted easily, and those diamonds of mind, formed like wet clay. It all becomes the sort of game you played as a kid. Ridiculous, but so very serious at the same time. Trivial, yet vitally complex. Maybe you get to a point where you get a revelation that you just didn't catch before, or simply point out a problem you can ponder over for weeks instead of getting riled up in everyday, mundane stress.
Me, I get the revelations - more often then not, painfully obvious, basic workings of the world, knowledge which others are born with. And then I get that childlike sense of purpose and share like I do, with all seriousness and importance, imagining that what I have to say you don't already know from seventeen different sources. By the time I realize it was essentially useless to note, it is in the past, done, external, out of my hands, gone, done, dead.
And then I go and talk to you lot, wonderful humans, crazy humans, my favourite humans. And then get baffled by the perspectives, and then break down, and think and play with an idea I'm going to reintroduce to you as something new and not reused. Funny, really.
So watch me laugh and tell me your innermost, holiest beliefs. Break them with me. Show me the path I've missed with being so very simple. Drown me in the complexity of endless possibilities.
