thoughts in chaos

long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to the light. [john milton] the end is in the beginning and yet we go on. [samuel beckett]

Coherency

Eventually we will all forget all that we used to say and do, so that we can finally say and do exactly what we criticized others for saying and doing. For all intents and purposes, coherency is not a human trait - it belongs to the Gods alone. We mortals sometimes aspire to it, but are so easily led astray - either by gravity or by our own nature (or by both combined).

The downward spiral

The problem is not that we have our own issues. They are there all right - we can't get rid of them by magically snapping our fingers or wishing them away. The problem begins when we start using our own unresolved issues as an excuse for each of our character flaws and personal failures. At that point, there's little to no incentive to fix things up - as long as we have issues, we have excuses - and the downward spiral inevitably looms ahead.

This is usually the moment when friendship is defined by a slap in the face and a "snap out of it" shout, but as far as I am concerned - and as sorry as I am - that's not my duty anymore.

Chains

There is no point in complaining that we are not free when we were the ones binding ourselves to the ground, in a delusional - or desperate - attempt to hold what we could never keep. We were the ones who forged the chains and bound them to the rock face - how exactly can we expect to be free after that?

Strangers

I wonder why the people who are supposed to know us better than anyone else sometimes act as if they don't know us at all.
