I suppose there are hints of tragedy in my own endeavors. I seek to better understand emotional experiences and unselfconscious expression with self-conscious analytics. But tragedy doesn't have to be necessarily a negative thing. It is the exertions that one makes to reconcile contradictions that eventually lead to creation. As far as I understand anyways. Look inside yourself; you'll find contradictions. Embrace them. Create with them. A lot of people are already starting to do that, or have been doing that. Where have I been?
Anyways, it seems like people do change all the time. Perhaps that old cynical refrain that people don't change was produced at a time of stability. It seems to me like in times of instability people are changing constantly. They have to.
I've been learning to turn off the analytics here and there when I need to. They're useful sometimes sure. There's great joy in crafting them. There's also great joy in pure emotional expression and the simple apprehension of the earth and the things on the earth. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive, but there does seem to be an inverse relationship in their relative expression.
Every day walking the tight rope. The trick is enjoying it and harnessing that enjoyment.
