It's almost as if you'd like to keep a low profile. Sometimes it doesn't let you. This moment right now is just about all there is. Everything else is either gone or not here yet. A person should not be anywhere else than where they are, anything else would be uncivilized. So, I do not want to start my using a bunch of “I's” but, it is hard to do so when you are the biggest object in your path. I want to write. I want to see things and have the things I see be meaningful enough to document. There is a very interesting world out there and it is sitting there just waiting to be appreciated. I see people out there like Leah Williams and am amazed. It must take a huge effort and complete dedication just about every waking minute of the day. It feels as though I am treading in unwelcoming waters, or into the headquarters of a secret establishment. I've read quite a few of “the classics” and have read several philosophers with earnest intent. I have not been to any formal education classes on the subject, though it seems as though I've always had an active mind. There seems to be a place that needs a starting point though. Since I can't be in any other place but here right now, I do not see much point in being anywhere else, since I couldn't be there even if I wanted to, which is just the same for anyone else in this entire world. That is how my logic must work. Sorry, if you've known me for any length of time you would know that I can even be a bit hyper-active from time to time. Now I want to write, and it would be nice to do it, seriously. So I begin here on this chair, in this mind at this time, letting now intersect the moment.
I feel that it's the past that holds me back. Maybe this is the natural progression of things as I know them. People have this perception of the past and of themselves. Perceptions seem to be the truest when they are the most popular, thus they are not always true. It is a popularity game. The most people then who could then hold a wrong perception should be one person. But what do we do when many people's ideas are wrong when they mistakenly follow someone else's perception of things, blindly assuming the perception to be true and proven. This is why perception is not called the truth. Maybe that was the reason for the invention of money, so people could hide (buy their way) behind their perceptions. The winners get to lead the nation, and their perceptions. That is how money is the root of all evil, everyone is trying to get money. Not a single person, it seems, cares about anything else. It is the means to a end. The end of everything as we know it.
