The Mirror

Beware, beware, for this is being written from deep in the Pit of Depression, and may not completely make sense. Is the warning taken? Good, then we shall proceed. It's okay, you don't have to hide under the Golden Fleece. It's only for decoration, and the pagan rites aren't until Thursday. Please return the Sword of Damocles to where you found it, and we will begin.

I have a theory. It's probably not original. It's based on the question, 'If I call someone judgemental, does that judgement not reflect on me more then them?'. On a broader scope, does a habit of declaring other people to be things just reveal a highly projective person seeking to imprint their definitions on others? Does any of this make sense? It's highly theoretical and possibly nonsense since any specific case could invalidate it completely. You can tell someone that they're generally angry without being angry yourself, and the same for sadness. Perhaps it is more applicable for behavioural traits rather than emotional states? It's food for thought, especially when caught with nothing else to write about.

Judgementalism is one of the nastier things about our species. It seems as if the vast majority of people are constantly primed to launch into their opinions of others and never think about themselves. It's so easy to never think about ourselves and what we do, but clearly we have to or the world will go up in a haze of smoke or pollution. What would happen if, somehow, people actually started to think? To do things thoughtfully? Would the world's destiny improve, or would the sudden surge in brainpower push global warming to a new level? Good grief, would people actually talk to each other instead of setting bombs? It's imaginable. So many things are imaginable, and could happen, if only a few people would think instead of whatever it is that they do do now.

Oh, there's a world out there, and a solar system. The solar system is part of a grand galaxy, and the galaxy is just one of many. Encompassing it all is the universe, as we all know, and its origins will remain shrouded in mystery likely forever. If we did find the answer to the mystery, then it would prompt even more questions! The universe is the mirror, into which we look for something other than ourselves, paradoxically seeking a different truth to the one we're given and don't understand. Of course, we have to keep looking, because it's the seeking that's important. We're explorers in the great space lanes of the galaxy, and in the innerspace of the mind. Which is more important is a question we each ask of ourselves, if we ask questions at all, with the answer being 'banana'.
