Repetition and Reflexivity
Sunday, August 14, 2011 / 12:21 AM

Reading through my recent posts, I realise I am very repetitive when I write. Similarly, I am very repetitive when I speak too. Yes, I know. I am aware that I do. Interestingly, I do not really notice when I am in the process of writing the posts though. But it does strike me afterwards. It is so odd. I simply just like to repeat. It provides me this sense of security, somehow. Like a sense of reassurance. I am so neurotic this way. Then again, when things become too routine, I get bored. This does not complement with my short-attention-spanned nature. I am such a contradiction of myself.

Reflexivity is a curse. It troubles the mind and renders one wretched, robbing you of the joy of innocent faith.

One step forward, three steps back. I hate how this works, but it is sort of a paradigm. Although Newton states "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", it is never so certainly an equal force returned. Not when you are talking about humans. Homosapiens, with emotions, thoughts, feelings and the birth-instinct to react. There is something about interpersonal relations. Building, and breaking, interpersonal bonds. One step forward, three steps back.

'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of: cost
There's a couple of things get: lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed




defy
gravity.
