people/i:
- say things that they don't mean; don't say the things they really mean;
- change their minds with their reasons, but their reasons don't make sense for anyone except themselves;
- are rational probably only 50% of the time, but no one knows which 50%;
- are selfish to the point it's self-damaging, but they continue anyway.
things:
- never go according to plan;
- go according to plan when we least expect it, which is not that helpful;
- are very good at obeying murphy's law;
- have a way of challenging and contradicting the very rules of life we wish to follow.
the world is inherently inconsistent, yet, i try so hard to have it make sense. things theoretically happen for a reason, and they may be too numerous and complicated for me to grasp, but there's always a reason, cause and effect. the problem is what we perceive as cause-and-effect are generalized ideals and experiences.
we equate good intentions with good results, while the world in reality has no concern for such. when our human/ideal world coincides with reality, we believe things make sense. when they separate, sometimes with terribly unfair occurrences from the human perspective, things don't make sense, to us.
our brains are simply not equipped to make sense of the interactions the trillions of actions and reactions every milli second, so are we destined to "trapped" in our human perspectives? that we will have an opinion of how things are supposed to make sense, even though reality will deviate, sometimes by a lot? however we adjust our beliefs, reality will never match up since these things are simply on different levels?
or, perhaps, the thing to realize is what we view as "making sense" is simply a tool for us to function in life, rather than the ultimate goal of all things?
