Moments in the meantime...
Have you ever noticed how living your life keeps getting caught up in the minutia of the moments...and how even when you are totally into a thing...life is going on around you and your focus...while needed and desired in that moment...seems trivial and incomplete when you step back and take a look at that moment with some fresh eyes and a different perspective?
I listened to someone speak today about their experience...and as they were processing their feelings and the aftermath of their moment...I found myself comparing...measuring...relating...and trying to solve a puzzle with them about their experience while at the same time trying to see how I fit into the same issues and conversation...how would I be if compared by the same measurement and how would I feel if facing the same circumstances? Would I have done the same as this individual given the same circumstances or would I have made a different choice...and if so...why? Along with why...how would that have impacted me differently?
I saw a piece of what this event did to or for them...I guess it depends on how one looks at it...their uncertainty...their questioning of themselves...the guilt...and worry. I understand the fear. I get how something like the mistake they apparently made...out of a very positive intention....but none the less a mistake...made them feel like they let others down and possibly put people and organizations in jeopardy. So what does it all mean?
It doesn't really mean anything. It can mean everything. Depending on how a person views it...it might be nothing or it could be everything and there is only one person that can make a difference like that. How do I view it and what does it mean to me? Well...what do I want it to mean to me? How does this make me look in others eyes? Will people see me the way I want them to or will they look at this as a reason to view me negatively? Could this actually underline what I already believe? Is this proof?
In the meantime...while all the questions...all the self-examination...all the doubt...life is carrying on....and these moments...travel on in the meantime. What does it all mean?
You decide...

In The EndAs you suggest, you will discern for yourself the way others see you…or if you concluded their meaning.. and in exactly what they expect it to mean. Still for them, they view it in completely different and negative terms. Conclude what it is that they see? Perhaps.
Still, what it is remains trivial. Is knowledge trivial, is being informed, is being educated, is expertise, is experience? Is the very subject of what triviality can mean dependent upon a factor called “focus”? After all, it’s only described as “a small thing”, “something trivial” after some amount of attention or “focus” has been applied to it.
In the end;
All successful methods of communication, i.e. everyday, technical or layperson, clinical or theoretical rely upon and relay sufficient context, and additional… depending on the “focus” or “point”. Thus we have Information Entropy.
OK ! You're making me wait farrr to long for something interesting to occupy my (mind)time...
Popular TV just doesn't do it.
Post something!
