Many people see the world in black and white terms, but I just don’t think things are that simple. Perhaps it’s that by nature I’m just agnostic about everything. I can’t ever seem to decide on anything because everything seems so confusing. It’s just impossible to know the truth about things that aren’t experienced first hand and even then everything is about perception. The only thing I truly believe in is chaos. There is no doubt in my mind that chaos exists and that it will continue to prevail.
Most people form an opinion on something and stick with it. I try to get as much information as possible and then decide what I think, but even after I have decided what I think to be true I’m still always open to new ideas. This can be a bad thing because it makes me a bit wishy washy. It can also be a good thing because I’m open-minded and I will most likely never get into a battle of wits with someone with the intent of proving myself right. I don’t think being right matters though and most of the time I’m not right- (Adam usually is.) What does matter is being respectful, and nice and willing to listen to others even if you don’t agree or can’t decide if you agree.
I’ve done the research on the oil spill and I’m more confused than ever. I just don’t know who to believe so I’m not going to pick a side. I’ll just go with the- It happened and it’s a catastrophic event that may affect my life. What can I do to help make it right? Is there anything? I’m not sure other than making those little cat hair balls to soak up oil. I’m also planning on other places to move in case a hurricane hits and everything is soaked with oil. It really is terrifying, upsetting and above all confusing. Why can’t things be simple? When I was young everything seemed so simple but now the older I get everything seems to be the opposite.
