Day 49 - Just things In the life

1. Doing Stuff:

No matter what I do, things always move quicker than I think and I never get done what I think I' m going to get done. In the total big picture, not in the small picture. Everything is always in a constant state of flux. It seems that each few months I am having to decide a new direction to go while the old one still exists. I am getting used to it. I am accepting it. It's an animated life. I must be bendable. No point breaking at this point.

2. Finding out stuff:

I've noticed there are so many people who tell me the same thing over and over again. I don't even have to ask them anything. They just say the stuff and then, next time you see them, they say the same stuff over again. I don't know what that is. They just start saying the same stuff like it never happened before. And even if I say, oh yeah you told me this before -- they tell it again. These are people who must love the sound of their voice.

Some people say the same thing exactly how they said it the first time. Some people change it up.

I also noticed there are some people who tell you nothing. At least one person anyway. I married him. He is so refreshing sometimes. You never have to remember anything he tells you. Because he never tells you anything.

3. Asking questions:

There are some people I just don't want to ask a question to about anything:

Some people can't answer a question without telling you their whole life story or the life story of the road you have to go down. I don't like to ask these people things. I lose track of where I am supposed to end up in the answer of the thing. My mind wanders and keeps telling me stuff that has nothing to do with what I am listening to which begins to sound like blah, blah, blah. My granddaughter listens to a little phonics song that says "people go blah, blah, blah." So. It's not only me that feels this way. Sometimes I think, these are people who didn't get enough attention as a child.

Some people never answer the question. They just keep talking about other stuff. I don't like to ask those people things, either. At least I know who these people are now.

Then, there is that person who you ask the question to, and they change the answer while they are answering the question. They might change the answer more than once. It's like they just can't stop thinking and they think that each thing they say is the better thing. I call this not being able to make a decision and have noticed that these are people who like to talk way more than I like to talk. And certainly way more than I like to listen

With these people, I picture a battle of neutrons and electrons vying for first place in a race to their Medulla oblongata. Which is putting up power shields to deflect all this stuff up to the frontal lobe. But then, a bunch of protons and left out feeling neurons jump on the back of all that stuff and just keeps sending messages around in circles. Can't think of anything else that might be happening.

4. What's best:

It's all good. I have learned that for sure. Even if it's bad, it's good. It's okay to say this is bad if you want to, because sometimes it is bad, but you have to understand, that no matter what.it.is....it can always be worse. Always. Not just sometimes. But always. I'll take what I got, and shot from here.

The Four States of Knowledge IMO

The Four States of Knowledge not necessarily in this order:

1. Unconscious ignorance - you don't know what you don't know (large percentage of the population)

2. Conscious ignorance - you know what you don't know. (Unfortunately, many people keep this a secret when they get to this level of awareness and pretend they are on step 4)

3. Conscious mastery-- you don't know what you know, you just know it. (Some people begin to text while driving in this state.)

4. Unconscious mastery - you know what you know. (And most of the time, you can't believe it -- This is the level where 'wtf??' was created.)
