Ok, here I go posting again because I’m bored and I just realized I missed Star Trek, and I had an interesting thought.
The thought is this: I know that I, and other people, belive in the concept of fate, and things coming to you, and all you need to do is act on them. Simple so far. But, what if I spend all my time looking for something great to come along for me to act on, that I’m really missing all kinds of great things right below my nose. Something nice comes along, slaps me in the face, and I miss it because I was looking for something nice. I think I read this in a book actually… the more I think about it, the more familiar it sounds….. Hold on a sec *Starts rummaging through school binder*…….. ok, well hmm… I guess I didn’t originally have the thought, I read it from “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” by Robert Pirsig. Blah, well it still applies to what I’m thinking. The way he said it was that “the truth knocks on the door and you say ‘go away, I’m looking for the truth,’ so then it goes away.” Different context, same idea though. What if I have accidentally brushed people off/away from me, because the whole time I was waiting for some other kind of occurence that would never come. Maybe the trick is to stop waiting for something, and just live normally, and then everything will come as it is, but you will be able to recognize it rather than ignore it. That might be one of my faults, I’m looking for something and all the while ignoring it. hmmpph. This perplexes me to know end.
