I never will grow older, because I drink from waterfalls

[whateverthat]

So much time these days is spent planning for things that may never happen. Small joys are taken from the idea that someday we'll stop preparing and start doing, but there's an inkling of doubt inside me that says that there will be no simple switch from what is to be to what simply is. Dreams do well in serving to ease unsure and troubled minds,

I always like your posts. *ramble*

if people could rid themselves of the hidden agenda behind everything they say... not only would they be less annoying, they wouldnt talk much at all. agendas are the reason for communication, the reason we evolved to be able to speak. words and phrases are facades by nature: simply social manifestations of previously wordless ideas. the only reason we use them is for the promotion of our own ideas, in the same way that social contact is mostly concerned with the promotion of our genetic material. theres no reason to talk at all if youre not talking with some agenda behind your words... even the most honest words are self-endorsing.

There are ways of talking that aren't so blatantly self-serving, and even if you make the argument that the purpose behind everything anyone ever says is to make themselves viewed in higher esteem by their peers (which I think was what you were doing)... well, to a certain extent that's true, but I think there's a lot more to speaking than promoting our own ideas. It may be what I'm doing right now, or what anyone does when they're dicussing something, but the common conversation isn't exactly the paragraphs we type to each other on LiveJournal.

And if the only reason you keep in contact with me socially is to promote your genetic material... I don't think we can hang out anymore

obviously communication can be the source of much deeper social connections than simple self-promotion, but it was not necessarily developed for that purpose, and nor is that what our powers of communication most readily allow us.

and yeah, man, I thought we were gonna fuck soon, wtf?? I thoguht you wanted to have my babies?
