That’s A Lot!

More Rabbit Holes…

Write words in order to garner a response or resonance from individuals who have chosen to read your work.

That’s a common goal among all writers.

The challenge then becomes, somehow, being able to do that in such a way that it keeps people interested. You find this through repetition and practice.

That can become daunting at times.

So you take breaks.

Then you come back to it. You try again. Some pieces skyrocketed. Some receive absolute crickets.

You can delve deep and attempt to figure out why this is. There are many reasons. There are many variables. Life is then all about variables.

But all along, you attempt to fit in some frame of reference. You need reference points established to be able to ground yourself.

By being able to have memory of folly and resolution, you can then appreciate the knowledge of overcoming recurring events.

This all makes up for some sort of human condition. Then you can delve deeper into the topic of humans and their inner psychology.

You’d be talking about all that from some sort of third-person perspective, but don’t forget to include yourself somewhere in the mix.

Don’t you see? Don’t you get it? All of this?

There is so much to pay attention to!

And as a finite and miniscule human being in a vastly floating universe, you attempt to make sense of it all. Advice crops up.

“Find your domain.”

It seems like worthy advice.

Again, you’d be establishing some key reference points to be able to ground yourself.

Boredom can easily appear along the way. You find this by perhaps spending too much time in some mundane situation.

Monotony can also be another factor. Never forget that we’re all thinking about all of these things through the lens of the English language as well.

We resonate with keywords and hone in on specific quotes and phrases — more human psychology.

It’s easy to get the notion that it’s all some sort of jumbled mess or hodgepodge. Entropy is another great topic (and word) that appears at a time like this.

Sheer randomness, apparent disorder, and even disarray can manifest itself seemingly out of nowhere.

That’s a lot. It’s all a lot to take in.

And all the while, you, as a human being, attempt to possess some sort of sanity. Align yourself with definitions of sanity and also abide by those definitions. Do this over and over again, and you may find yourself in some sort of “normal state.”

Community and social interaction are fantastic ways of not only maintaining but nurturing supposed sanity as well. Oh, but be careful. Not all play nice and never by the exact same rules.

So words like “caution” and “carefulness” are instituted in order to teach the general public to practice discretion when seeking out guidance, friendships, and relationships.

Social interaction, of course, appears critical to the development of us not only as individuals but as a species as well. This can seem quite paradoxical in that way.

You could ponder some existence where seven billion humans are individually locked into seven billion rooms and see what sort of psychological horror would ensue.

That’s a lot. Again, there’s a lot to pay attention to here!

You can do all sorts of things during your time here.

You can wonder, act, work, pray, sleep, read, and play. Of course, there are more, but I do not need to list them all.

Find your lane. Find a passion. Get a job. Apply for school. Find a partner. Have a child. Love your child. Grow old together.

Look fondly at past memories. Make new memories. Struggle for comfort.

Just enjoy “things” for God’s sake!

Live in a binary system. Consider the possibilities of “more.” Entertain ideas of simulations and strange ethers!

Find connections between minute interactions and the greater echoing effects of those interactions in the grand scheme of a finite “grand existence.”

Yeah, it’s all a lot….
