This could be about me
One of the reasons I write this blog is because it’s a place where I can write what I want to write, with little or no discussion from others. This doesn’t make my blog the biggest hit in the world. I find that sometimes I get on my high horse and write about things in a somewhat self-centered, egotistical way. Other people are just wrong, I’m right, that’s all there is to it.
Yeah, I know this is annoying. Sometimes I even catch myself arguing out of both sides of my mouth. One of the big ones that I’ve been thinking of lately is how I tend to think people who have one-track minds and never come out and think about the world around them are a bit stupid. Then, almost in the same breath, I get angry at people who think I’m not radical enough, or that I’m not angry enough at the world. My response to them would be “You don’t have to be angry at the world to be smart”. One could apply my response to the first group of people that I think are a little stupid. It’s just all part of the same grand scale, and I am aware that I think that where I sit on the scale is Just Perfect. Everything I witness can be turned into a mini-essay (blog post) about how the way I think of something is the exact right way to think about it, yet sometimes I contradict myself.
I’ve been thinking about the above issue for a while (my own dichotomy), when I came across this statement in a book I just finished, and sadly thought it could be applied to me. I hope not. Kind of like AA, the recognition is the first step.
“In truth, he decided, it was impossible to discuss anything at all with her, because instead of seeing each part of total reality as a complement to the other parts, with dogged insistence she forged ahead seeing only those things which she could twist into the semblance of an illustration for her beliefs.”
This is from The Spider’s House, by Paul Bowles. I highly recommend it.

Just be yourself and that is enough. Let people think what they will as long as you believe in yourself !
