WISHFUL THINKING
There are things in life that simply cannot be a reality. That's a realization that took me almost three months to arrive at, primarily because of my utter disregard of it or stubborn-ness perhaps. Impossible things happen when nothing hasn't really changed, despite all the efforts invested in it. Especially when people simply don't want to even try, or refuse to compromise.
My life has been in a roller coaster and I feel like I want to get off the ride. Im practically tired, and it seems I am indeed wasting my time for something unrealistic and unattainable. Easy for me to say, but in times of solitude, I often become so pathetic, I even forget my pride.
Whenever people make excuses, I simply want to jump off the building. Excuses are for those who didn't even bother to exert the maximum, hence the name. Excuses are also one effective way to caramelize the words and cushoning the blow. I just hate it when people dont tell the truth, or give up explaining. Im a fan of diplomacy, I firmly believe that every clear idea or justification can always be achieved by communication. That there is no room for excuses.
Reality is one tricky concept, Post-modernism often gets away with saying there are multiple truths, which is basically true. One thing may be true for another person, but isn't necessarily the case for the other. Nevertheless, reality can always be shared, it could also be mutual in fact. The problem perhaps lies when the other party, reluctantly agrees to face the music. That the music tends to overwhelm him, he simply freezes over and just allows the music to bang his eardrums until they break. Such magical realism happens when he did not arrive at the thought of turning off the source and did forget earplugs exist.
People are also oftentimes not an admirer of risk. That the status quo is acceptable, when in fact, things could also get even better. Risks are choices. Life is full of choices. It is therefore understandable that people opt not to take risks, but if the status quo sucks, wouldn't you want to be in a better place? When what you have right now could have been a lot better with the choice you're risking, wouldn't you take it at least? What if what you have is just a mirage or a pretend, that you're simply blind to even see the truth right there in front of you? What then, if the risk simply stops to be a risk, will you cry over the lost opportunity of having something better?
Humans can also be blind, that the risk-taking seems very improbable, and the truth gets more twisted as it is. People often steer clear of the truth in front them. This is something I haven't really understood at all. Complications often go with the blindness, and the more complications it accrues when the blindness doesn't get treated. Refusal to accept the harsh reality is one, people often self-pity in these moments. Either they stay and ignore the pain, or one confronts the ache and dance to the new tune. Most annoying is the fact when the concerned parties are just waiting for the time everything bursts out, when the people involved are just playing stupid to even realize they're just fooling each other.
Reality is an illusion. Illusions can be truthful depending on the perspective. Truth can be risky. Risks can blind people. Blindness stupifies us. Us is hopeless. Hopelessness tires people. Tired people give up. Giving up is my reality.
