Theory
What is the essence of a theory? Is it an idea of originality? Is originality the key factor present within a theory? The most important pieces of the puzzle to the understanding of a theory is an open mind? While all of these are questions to understand when thinking about a theory, from my perspective the most important thing to grasp when beginning to try to understand a theory and with trying to understand any subject matter is to look at it in the most basic form possible. When understanding water what do we look to? The basic components of it which are H20... Through this set of systemic processes you are able to understand how the simplicity can lead to the larger. The inherent drive within all people is the understanding of all things abstract. Through the understanding of the abstract the possibility of enlightenment of knowledge can truly be possible. The many pieces of ideas that it takes to create a theory can be immense, but a wondering that I have is the possibility of a simple theory. One that is created from a very simple set of ideas, but facilitates the possibility of curiosity and wandering... Theory is what our world revolves around and has for centuries. Everything that exists in this world is constantly being thought out and specifically theorized in the abstract. So really it seems that only through the abstract are we able to understand simplicity...

Manifestation of a thought....
The thought that is manifested within comes from which location? Which location does a thought originally come from? The most simple and plain answer that I can come up with is past experiences. You might not see it, but the thoughts we are constantly producing is only the combination and culmination of many thoughts to create an overall great thought. The epitome of a thought comes down to multiple pieces of a puzzle to create one finalized puzzle. The difficult thing as with any thought is the changing of the picture on that puzzle. Thoughts change and evolve constantly, kind of like an ever ripening fruit, but it is only later that you will find out if that fruit has been eaten or decomposed and rotted away. The funniest part of understanding what a thought is and the culmination of a thought is the idea of how our thought process thinks out a thought and how it is actually mentally manifested as well. Without the alter ego to support your thought, question, second guess, and analyze this thought you would not be able to have any thoughts. As soon as you think of something the human mind is constantly analyzing and scrutinizing this thought and wondering if it will be acceptable in the realm of society where you have grown up or currently reside. Without having an alter ego you wouldn't have many good thoughts at all, and I would go as far as to say that you might not actually have any coherent thoughts at all. As human beings like to attribute and understand themselves as constantly being stable in their mind and somewhat normal we are all really just a little bit crazy. Don't we all speak to ourselves, whether it be on a subconscious level or on a conscious level? Just by thinking out loud or in your head you have really just established a second person because at that point are you speaking in the second person? Are you saying I? I know that when I think to myself I am constantly speaking towards myself through the you and I, as in the first and second person. The realization of how a thought is procreated only helps the individual scrutinize their own thought, but since you have already subconsciously scrutinized your thought then most likely you have already a somewhat polished thought that is only being polished consciously.

Taking a Break
What is in a break? Is a break a moment away from life? Isn't this your life? What exactly are you breaking from? Breaking from thinking too hard? Thinking too much? Thinking too long? So you have worked hard all day and you say you deserve something, what is it, possibly a break? Why do you deserve a break? Is a break the escape from reality into the dream world or second reality that people wish to live in daily? What are the things that entertain you, distractions? So when you take a break are the distractions that are helping you take a break really just a distraction from true reality? Do you want to live in a dream land or on earth? Does the abstraction of reality through distractions regress your intelligence? The understanding that we all live presently on this earth in this space and in this time is incorrect. Every person has their own space and own time due to perception, so can I even say that a distraction is for you as it is for me? Is it truly a distraction from reality if two people agree on it? If society perceives it as entertaining and manipulates our reality do we actually at that moment agree upon a truth and what is something? A break is in the mind. It is an abstraction of your consciousness and how you perceive reality. I took a break, but what did I take a break from?

To Each His Own?
A gripe with the phrase “To Each His Own”. I have a problem with the phrase “To Each His Own”. I mean truly everyone, think about it, what does that term actually mean? Isn’t it that it is an actual laziness to actually stating one’s opinion and is truly just the typical American attitude of everyone lets just get along. We are a melting pot and the only thing that will help us prosper is just accepting other people and their ignorant opinions? I agree with peace absolutely and it is one of my fundamental ideologies in life and a want for the world to act peacefully towards each other. The problem I have with “To Each His Own” is the idea that it bypasses true great conversation that can end up to be thoughtful and detailed conversation that makes people think and actually have cognitive processes and the discovery of other people’s cognitive processes. When I have an opinion and someone doesn’t like that and tells me, “To Each His Own” Really? Come on! Argue against me, tell me that you don’t agree with me, don’t tell me “To Each His Own”. That is a passive mind that really has no interest to experience life then. One important thing to distinguish for this, is, the fact that I am not writing off all people’s opinions and the minor ones that are irrelevant in daily life or about personal opinions about certain things for example, food, or personal taste, or personal perceptions of objective goodness. Basically, when I hear someone say to me “To Each His Own” has basically run out of things to say and has no strong arguments or really does not have much of an opinion and is possibly distracted by things that are irrelevant to things that are in the moment and the present space you are occupying in time. If you cannot argue and discuss subjects and try to consider both sides of the picture and possibly open your mind to a new perception, or try to influence another’s within the seconds of our lives that dictate our attitudes towards the outside world and eventually manifest themselves, then I cannot say that I wish to have a conversation with you. Be argumentative, say something back and disagree. You should not think that you cannot be friends with someone because they have some different opinions. Isn’t it important to surround yourself with peers that somewhat do not always agree with you? That way you can keep your mind open and realize that you are not always correct! Nobody is always correct and nobody is always wrong. When you strive closer to understanding this, then you will realize that through the collaboration of argument and discussion new paradigms will develop, which will only lead to a higher understanding of life…

Originality?
Does originality exist? Has originality or the mere thought of originality been merely constructed to form an illusion of greatness? An illusion of greatness that we can be and will be different and therefore perpetuate the continuance of the ideologies of society? I believe that in some sense true originality does exist, but then again true originality does not exist. The problem with something being able to exist and not exist at the same time is that how can something be and not be at the same time? It is because specifically dealing with time and the moment in space time that something can be and not be at the same time. Therefore, originality does exist sometimes and does not exist other times. Is originality simply a compilation of ideas put together in a new order to claim the right to originality? Or is it simply a brand new thought? It seems to imagine that anything could actually be a brand new thought because how would we know if these so-called original thoughts might be stemming from our subconscious? The point that I would like to make is that originality is perception.... Perception is what purely drives originality and how that originality is viewed by society. Is it not what others believe that dictate how your own idea or supposed originality is original? Originality, do I have any? Do I need any? Does anyone need any?
