edward fox's reality

Today was nice, quite nice. Details are not necessary, but one knows when they feel like a day was nice. Entirely satisfying, going on without any problems. Everything was perfect.

So, that word, perfect, what’s that about, anyway? Is it overused?… Exaggerated?

I don’t know.

Things change really quick. We don’t know when things will be evolved into something else, or gone completely. I was telling Jose, as we sat on the front steps of his house as the clouds were above us, the wind was cool, and the temperature was perfect… things change too quickly. I cannot always enjoy all the moments I want to… all the times that make life worth living. What’s come of it? I’ve lived 19 years, more than 19 years of confusion, happiness, accomplishments, failures, love… there are so few things to show for it. We take pictures, then store the pictures forever, never to be shown again.

Everything we want, we want it new… We cannot enjoy the old anymore. I find myself disgusted by how I get tired of things so quickly. Why is that? Is it because life moves too quickly? Do we make it move too quickly? Do others? Am I asking too many questions in a row without providing answers?…

I’m not here to give you answers. My blog is designed to help you think, make your mind move a bit. We’re in a tragic state, and each year, we progress into an era of Unthinkers. We don’t want to think deeply into anything for fear that we may learn something, something we didn’t want to know, or something that may make our lives just that much more difficult.

When we were children, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER posters were all over my classrooms, each year, up until eighth grade. Wonder who made those blasted posters–got sick of the same motivational messages over and over… maybe because we just surround ourselves with these messages, these odd, philosophical, deep messages… but cannot interpret them for ourselves.

We always expect things to be fed to us on a plate, because we are quite good at consuming. But what are we producing?

All right, sidetracked a bit.

I like change, but sometimes, I wish things stayed the same. I wish every night was like tonight, calm and relaxing… no tension, no worries. That isn’t how life is, though. We wouldn’t advance… Maybe that’s what we need, or what we think we need. Who knows. I wish I knew less.

Knowledge is Confusing.

Ignorance is Bliss.
