8/12/2004 - Revelation

I just figured out THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! I know the secret of living, the essence of happiness, etc, etc. Here it is...

Mankind is dysfunctional because we expect to figure it out.

Think about that. The source of emotional pain is the fact that we can't resolve something. But this is based on one presupposition - we are able to resolve it - which I contend is untrue. This is why people say ridiculous things like "time heals all wounds". Time didn't heal it - time just dimmed the memory, so you forgot how much it hurt.

Now follow with me for a moment... why can't we just accept our emotional pain without trying to figure out how to avoid it or resolve it or change it or anything? Would we be as afraid of the pain anymore?

I'm gonna try it out. So here's my new catch phrase - "Damn, that sucked... oh well".

My old catch phrase was "Is your mom hot?" I say that to the 20-somethings who walk around acting all glamorous. I wanna get with their moms.
