several days ago:
The past is a very interesting, very complicated, very elusive thing. There are times, when I think of it, that I get these little stabs of -- something. The question is always the same: what is it?
From time to time, I think it is nostalgia - a longing or remembering of the past in slightly (or drastically) better colors than it was ever painted it. Other times, I think that it is comprehension - but even beyond that, understanding. Stabs of intellect drawing even better conclusions from the confusion of the before.
Other times, I think it is probably just human nature.
Then again, what does that imply?
I think the first thing I had to say tonight was far more intellectual, far more applicable, far more intelligable.
Then again, I always do demean the sentemental, that emotional side of reality.
That's what harmony-seekers are for. I just want unity. Unity of the past and the present and the future. Unity, for all peoples and all times and all modes of behaviors. I desire, more than anything, the unification of our world with this universe that we find ourselves in.
No human understanding is good enough for that yet.
But, my hope is that we are still working on it.
And perhaps that is what those little stabs of reality are. Stabs of the heart telling the mind to buck up, be hopeful.
Unity can be attained if we are honest and searching in all things.
