Everyone has heard the statement at one time or another, "is the glass half empty or half full?". Optimism and pessimissm are morphed definitions of reality. Optimists look at the proverbial glass of water and proclaim it half full because they are trying to make it more than it is. Pessimists simply do the opposite and attempt to make it less than it is.
In all reality, the glass is neither. The water is merely at the halfway point and it is neither half full or half empty it just is.
I am realist. I see things like they are; and fluctuation, although somewhat unexpected, still does not disrupt the overall balance that is life. For the most part, I am rarely surprised by anything. Normally things, according to characteristics and the like, tend to follow a basic pattern. Fluctuations and changes are part of the pattern. In spite of all the intricacies and distinct detail, overall, things become predictable.
I know from experience that certain things will occur at certain times. I know when people will fall back into old habits and I know whether or not they will conquer them. I know what will upset people, and I know what pleases them.
But then again, every so often, someone comes along who doesn't fit the pattern. Their thoughts and way of life so break the mold that for a moment things must stop. Things stop because a new pattern has been created. One that must be taken, studied, one where time must be spent discerning how this person works.
And this always interests me.
My friends, believe it or not, I have encountered such a case. Such a beautiful, spontaneous, unpredictable pattern that has not found itself across my path before now. This pleases me...oh, does this please me.
Maybe I'll enlighten you someday, maybe. |
