Thanks for the Bump, Rose!
Sorry, Pinky.
Unrestricted intellectual debate is antagonistic to the normalcy bias.
Unrestricted intellectual debate could lead to understanding.
Like you can't un-see what you've seen, you cannot un-understand what has been understood.
You're only in-
noscent until you know. Maybe this is where the fear comes in, as you become responsible for the truth you understand.
You can still pretend nothing happened, but your heart will tell you otherwise
and skip a beat whenever you try to deceive yourself into forgetting what is.
A change in your thought process may change your point of view. That in turn may change your course of action.
But change is not the option of choice until a situation ultimately demands it.
Under pressure we do what we know best to do. We use whatever we have previously learned. Or not.
There is relevance, I think.
… not sure i understand. Whose demise? That of unrestricted intellectual debate or normalcy bias? Or the fear thereof?
… yes. but that would have to be a separate post. Let me think about it.
I don't know what to say, Pinky. Everybody talks about love all the time. How it feels, what it does, but what it is, I'm not sure anyone knows.
But I remember what a teacher of mine said some twenty years ago that I found very interesting. When he spoke about electrons, he said: " Every electron wavve upon encountering another electron
always behaves in the same way
if it recognizes the other, it remembers and then loves - for better or worse."
This sounds very romantic to a teenage girl, in theory. I wondered what it actually meant if all the electrons in all the nuclei of the all atoms of all molecules of all cells in my body were all doing this all the time. Not necessarily always a good thing. Desire to find, to remember, to unite or part, to create or destroy. Like a pull throughout everything that is. Like a string. And not just in my body, in my cells, 'my' electrons, no. All electrons in everything everywhere would have that same desire to find again, to love, to react. Like a nuclear reaction at the core of creation. If so, love is everything that ever happens.
The only time nothing happens is indifference. The string never touched. No recognition. No memory. No Love. No Reaction. Not necessarily a bad thing either. Quiet.
But we can't stay in indifference for long until we feel the pull and the desire to love in our cells.
I don't know if this is anywhere near the truth, but if I look into the eyes of my beloved, it surely feels that way.
