when I grow up....

sometimes it's just a matter of perspective

appearances were not deceiving in this case.

people

it occurred to me today that, the more effort people put into trying to justify their "time" by presenting entire lists of "what got done," the less they've probably actually accomplished.

maybe this is because most of our time is spent doing the vitally necessary but mind-bogglingly boring tasks of everyday life.  most of us spend a lot of time on necessities but very little time actually doing what really fulfills us. and if we do spend a significant amount of time doing what really fulfills us, then the rest of the planet (probably) considers us to be a bit "lazy," "irresponsible" or "self-centered".

then there are those who put a lot of effort into justifying their time when in reality they've done absolutely nothing at all but just want to appear to have been doing something. this is just an effort at pulling the wool over the eyes of those around them.  if they're successful, they're never seen as lazy, self-centered or irresponsible.

types of people?

• people who satisfy most or all of their obligations but would really rather be doing something more fulfilling
• people who satisfy most or all of their obligations but don't have anything more interesting to do with their time.
• people who fulfill few or none of their obligations and maintain the ruse of having done so...but haven't done anything more interesting or fulfilling with their time.
• people who fulfill few or none of their obligations, don't bother covering-up for their neglect and who spend most of their time doing what really fulfills them.
• people who fulfill few or none of their obligations and maintain the ruse of having done so while actually spending their time doing what really fulfills them.

and, finally, those who satisfy all of their obligations and also make time to "do the fun stuff". that's difficult.

most people probably fall into the category of satisfying most of their obligations and wishing that they could do/had done/could have done the "fun stuff". that's unfortunate.

of course, i always see things in black and white so it's hard tellin'..........

i only look like i have the answers (actually I don't know jack-sh*t)...i'm good at that.

Christopher: What's beyond the planets?
Me: The stars.
Christopher: What's beyond the stars?
Me: I really don't know...there's so many stars...
Christopher: I know what's after the stars...
Me: Really? What?
Christopher: It's all white and it's full of doors.


white being the total of all colours (endless imaginary possibility) and doors being the choices we all have in front of us.


maybe we should all see things like a 7-year-old...just look at all those lights!!

dreams

it's true that sometimes dreams burst like soap bubbles

Θανάσης Παπακωνσταντίνου - αερικό

αερικό

αερικό: το φάντασμα, το στοιχειό

...οφείλεται στη άποψη ότι ο αέρας έχει αόρατη υπόσταση και μυστηριώδη δύναμη, η οποία μπορεί να προκαλέσει θόρυβο, να παρασύρει, να καταστρέψει. Αυτή η άυλη δύναμη αποδόθηκε σε υπερφυσικά στοιχεία και αόρατα δαιμόνια.
