Good things... they never last, do they?

It's something that becomes more obvious with every time. Those highs of life, when you believe it will never end, when you can't even imagine a moment, or feeling for that matter, when it was otherwise. Though I haven't been naive enough to do so for awhile now.

I tend to try and savour the time, almost trying to salvage the feeling of pure bliss and the joy experienced to back to later when needed. So far it hasn't worked. Won't stop me from trying though.

Another thing I noticed is that the drop from a high seems even more sudden and usually even more horrible simply because you were expecting it, just because weren't ready relinquish that scrap of happiness that life had lent you for so brief a time. Well, at least you had it to begin with, I suppose.

Personally, expecting it is still a bonus, since it allows you to look at it almost as though from the sidelines. It gives you a certain patience and calmness, an ability to ride out the worst of it as long as it lasts. I am yet to discover what happens when that complacency runs out...

But, as they say, with every high comes its low, and after every low comes its high. For now all that is left to do is to ride out the storm, and look towards the horizon to the evasive sun, waiting for it to come out and bring its rainbow... Or two.

Ignorance is Bliss

Ignorance is Bliss ~

The more I think about it, the more I marvel at the meaning behind the phrase. Just the simplicity it implies: the less you think, the happier you are.

Probably why childhood is considered to be the golden age of anyone's life, and is to be cherished while it lasts. Not that you realise it until it has passed and you -thought- about it properly.

Of course I realise the merit behind possessing knowledge too, and am beginning to understand how flexible and stretchy the mind and your thoughts can become with it. However such possession does imply a great deal more attention on your part, not to mention the expectations from you by others once in possession of something as simple as Pythagoras's theorem:

I won't dare imagine what how much further -that- one can be taken... -_-

(A mere simplistic example really, it's just that my current subject preference for maths tends to steer me this way...)

But this endless cramming of "Knowledge" (yes, I question the stuff put into our supple minds in todays schools) really brings you to wonder whether we could have done without it. Every new addition just makes you think more, and has you get lost in the vast maze of your mind. Ever tried backtracking an hour long thought pattern?

Life. Thinking.

All this captures the attention, makes you obsessed with putting together this endless puzzle of life, which happens to have more than a googolplex of puzzle pieces. And you never get to just stop, and enjoy what is already there, what you have already put together. You'll never notice that rainbow in the corner, or the mesmerizing glitter of a speck of glass that has been front of you the whole time. All you care about is working out where to put that next puzzle piece of plain white.

Well there. I have lost myself in yet another thought. I suppose this is the cost of us being sentient.

Also in a way explains the phrase: "With great Knowledge, comes great responsibility."

...or was that 'with great power, comes great responsibility'?

Either way, "Knowledge is power", and there's no disputing that.

As for me? I think I still prefer that "Ignorance is Bliss ~"

ART

Deviant... ART

Sadly with the hectic schedule provided by the school, and the time-wasting, procrastinating schedule provided by mwa, I never get the time to draw, paint, sketch... or do anything else remotely artistic.

Hopefully I can change that a bit soon. Also hoping to get into photography a bit more... now if only I could work out how to turn this darn camera on. >:|

My Deviantart account: http://breeze-drop.deviantart.com/

Also pretty stale and dead. Maybe I'll get around to adding something more to it soon... or maybe in half a year. ^_^

Ok... Let's try this again.

Now to try and keep a blog alive... and not just post once and let it sit there getting all stale and pointless for half a year. Let's see how long I last this time round.

Keeping a Blog- Take 3

Oh, and TWILIGHT.
