Well lookie what we have here...

Hey. Ever wondered why the sun rises in the east? Why not the west? Because someone didn't know that and someone else wanted to act smart, he called it the east. And the whole world believed him and still does. Mad world. Why couldn't the north be the south? And so on. Anyway I guess its always been the perspective. No one wonders these things nowadays, at least according to me, because it is taken for granted. The phrase "taken for granted" is a lethal weapon if given to the wrong hands. I mean literally. Even in the right hands it is a powerful one. All crap right.

This is the end. This is the start. This is everything. This is nothing. All paradox. Whats this world got to offer me? Or you? Or them? All of these are just questions. Stupid questions. With no answers. All crap again. Does this mean I am stupid? Maybe. Or maybe not.

The next part comes to languages. Just now one of my friends was telling me that I am wasting time by learning new languages when learning one is enough to get us through. True. What is the point I am trying to make by learning this new language? I can communicate effectively? Or just wasting time? What is it? Don't know any convincing answer. I see the practical uses very reduced since I know a few more languages. But what am I using it for? Same way. Why not learn a new language? It is knowledge. But will it be useful investing in? Am I the only idiot in this phase? I don't know that either. I am not promising a solution to this question either. So what is it I am presenting? The question obviously.

Whats the use of all this? All this media, broadcast? Criticism is a useful tool in making things obsolete. We need it to focus, but the same thing can stop us from doing essential things that make life worth living. But "make life worth living" can also be criticized and break down what we are trying to abstract from our regular thought cycle. Brooding into too many thoughts may lead to senseless exasperation. But thats just the side effect, the main effect is that we may start to question whatever exists, what may come to exist. What is the point? That will become our motto. The path ahead is bleak. It is hidden in a shroud of mist. The mist doesn't seem to be clearing. Do we let it cover our eyes or try to live in harmony with it? What's the way of life, there doesn't seem to be one way to it. There is nothing like it. I don't know. That's where our society comes in. Painting pictures for things we haven't experienced. Forming a prototype of things which were and which will be. Whole load of pointless nonsense to attain a state of supposed bliss. Either block the rest of the world which you really really don't care about except for argument's sake and get on with it. Things will go according to plan, things will fail. Because that's what the plan was in the first place. Anyway who am I kidding? Myself. And that's why the saying "Some people just don't get it" seems very appropriate here.
