Right, Wrong, and Real

Jan 24, 2008 - 14:56 PM PST

In science, we only look for what we have reason to believe may be there.

Here we are, walking down a familiar neighborhood. To our right, we see everything we know and understand. To our wrong, be don't see everything we expect and/or recognize. We challenge our minds to pick up the faint signals of what we think we may see in a world where we know nothing. We challenge our minds to make comparisons of what we do know, to the things beyond our imaginations that we must come up with explanations for. We come up with explanations for things that aren't even right in the first place, and find a place for them. In this world, we create everything we see, everything we touch, and we change everything we perceive, while it changes us right back. We don't live in a lifeless world. We don't live in a world that the human race has total control over. Behind us, and in front of us, we see the pieces of what is real. What is real goes beyond our own perception. We cannot define what's real since it is based off of our own perspective. We push to get reactions and to judge. We watch to see our expectations through. Then we go through our scrapbooks with our shitty glue sticks and try to fit all of the pieces to a puzzle together, when there are billions of miles and a billion more mysteries presented every time you find a "perfect" fit. Once again, perfection only being based off of perspective. Finding right may be based off of what we feel and evidence, depending on the situation. Finding wrong is a gut-wrenching emotion or the unstable "facts" presented at the beginning of a search for right. What is real is beyond our five senses, yet we continue our search in hopes that a better understanding will fill any holes we may harbor as we reach toward the right and run from the wrong. My point being, maybe the biggest mystery of all is to find a way to use duct tape on the puzzle as it sits active on the pages of a scrap book instead of using Elmer's shit sticks that always leave the corners curling at the edge of the page ready to be ripped off and expose more pieces you missed when trying to cover the entire back with something that dries before doing its job.
