Irrational, explained



FEAR, stress, FAITH, envy, pleasure, beauty, LOVE, trust, HOPE, hate.
All irrational, yet feared, hated, believed in, trusted, enjoyed, contemplated, and loved always.

Why can't life be logical and clear-cut? "It would be cold?" What's that?...cold? Ha!
It would be EASY, that's what it would be. Perhaps a little boring too, but hey that's not too high a price tag for inner peace, right? 

I have this lingering contradiction in me: I know for a fact that if there was only black on the one hand, and white on the other, I would probably spend my whole life blending both in infinite shades of grey. To me, unease in its most vibrant expression. Such a brilliant driving force.

I guess my desperate need for a logical explanation for everything expresses itself in my constant emphasis on relativity. Trying to find patterns in random systems, whilst unavoidably acknowledging the complexity of the task. Trying to reach something simple the hard way. It's all very much like rock-climbing, mind you.

Always -and only- at home away from home.

And that's just wrong, isn't it?

Philosophers have always something to think about, so you're one of them, right? ^^ Anyway, good point, for me nothing is black or white, nothing is constant. The most important about these reflexions is your personal point of view, your subjectivity: Your Eye Inside. You don't have to be a rational person, even if trying to find explanations is normal. Keep it up!

I don't know about being a philosopher ^^, but I enjoy philosophy that's for sure!

I know I don't have to be a rational person, but somehow I just am rational. "Torn between rational and irrational" to be precise. Fascinated with the irrational, and always trying to understand it in the light of logic.

Is my life vain or what? lol ^^

No life is vain as long as you're animated by something you like. I'm sure you don't have this problem as a music addict like you :-)

And your photograph is great! I saw you put it on DeviantArt.
