Twinkle

Your friend sits across from you in conversation. The two of you have been talking for twenty-eight minutes, and you can’t seem to make it clear to your friend that 1 + 1 = 2. Suddenly, at the end of magical minute twenty-nine, you see a twinkle in your friend’s eye. A floating light bulb has just blinked on over their head.

Yes. Yes it’s true… one plus one does equal 2.

In the twinkling of an eye your friend has just became aware of something new. In minute twenty-eight, and for the other twenty-eight years leading up to that point, your friend was not aware of this simple fact. It has affected his or her way of thinking throughout life. Now that your friend has this new information, it will affect his or her thinking in a new way. In fact, your friend’s opinion on arithmetic has just become infinitely more valuable.

But what about you? What about your opinion?

Your own loneliness factor.

Are we all just as lonely as the next person? Of course not. We all have our own particular level of loneliness. But, what really defines that level? How in the world can you change it?

I don’t offer any magic in this blog. I only want to provide you with the important opportunity to look in the mirror with a new perspective.

Convinced of My Deception

I’m really not sure that I like this process of getting to know myself. It always seemed like such a noble task when I was younger.

I’m sure that this, and near-future blog entries will be a bit on the melancholy side. However, I’m also convinced that the honesty will be valuable and nothing short of an oasis for anyone of like-mind.
