Journal 26

Sometimes you wake up and think the day should be really good, but then it turns out to be very bad. There are days where you wake up and the sun is shining and the air is warm but for some reason you cannot escape the cold. Sometimes you get really excited to get up and get out of bed to activate your mind and body, and other times you cannot even bring yourself to lift your head. Dreaming can sometimes become more appealing than reality. It is not practical to go about life waiting to fall asleep, and then realizing you do not have the ability to do so when the time is appropriate.
Being humans, we tend to take things symbolically. It is natural for us to search for some sort of sign of fate or divine intervention. I have realized that sometimes you just have to let go of the idea completely. It is logical to let go, but a difficult task, nonetheless. It is our first instinct to look for signs. Religion exists in so many cultures, in fact, it is considered a defining factor in a group much of the time. It is completely natural for us to look for a meaning in the things that we do, or the way things play out, but that is only because we only see things from our own point of view. Realistically, we all are living separate lives which intertwine together and create situations and circumstances, many of which we cannot control.
These happenings are just the way that life works. We live, breathe, communicate, learn, adapt, struggle, prosper, and die. Those things are definite in a long-lived life. Most of the time, this is how things work. The fact that I am even able to explain that is amazing. Science never expected us to get this far and make these connections and have the ability to understand. Our minds are so developed. We can think abstractly, hypothetically, and abstractly. We are the only species who can do this so fluently without question. We are amazing.
