Minds Wander

Yes they do. A mind is a very special thing. It is a single entity. We can't tell for certain whether it is this or that. Whether it can be formed to do this or that. We don't even know how it works.

Sure there are neurons, brain cells, and the whole lot but really no one can swear on their own life that they can explain the mind, or even their own mind for that matter. I would say we are what our minds make us out to be. Therefore...

...We are who we are. That's where my mind has gone off too. Trying to figure into, the great constant of life, the very fact we are who we are. An arbitrary statement at the least, to think we are who we are. For in every pair of eyes we, or as I mean to say I or even you, are different. In the eyes of man we are considered ugly, tall, shy, brown, yellow, white, and I hear there is purple too. So yes we are who we are, and to everyone we are different.

Then I came to ask my self who are we, in my eyes of course. Are we the people, short and stout; are we the people, tall and handsome; are we the people, accepting and kind; are we even the people? Can we be you, a single entity of life. Can we be I, that which writes this entry at midnight.

If we take we to be the people, then we would ask what are we? Sure we can be humans, the top of the food chain, the king of all mammals, the top of the evolutionary charts, creations from the hands of God himself. However we can also be that which we do not like to be - greedy, jealous, outspoken, ignorant, and the like.

Then yes we are who we are as we seek us to be. We are who we are in the eyes of those who seek to define we. We may be short and stout, tall and handsome, accepting and kind but that is really for the you to decide. If you are we, then may we think carefully.

For I digress, I guess. I wrote that: what are we in my eyes? I must answer that in: we are, in my eyes, fractured at the core. We are spinning on an piece of rock, that in and of itself is spinning 1,000 + a lot times faster then you can go around in that office chair. We are all going around a large piece of fusion energy, which in itself is among billions if not trillions of floating pieces of fusion energy.

I would say that we are people that go to work, that take care of kids, pray to Gods, and write lines of words. We are people in our own right, to be who we are for ourselves. We are fundamentally fundamental, and categorically categorized. Yep that's who we are, a people who pretend to know ourselves and believe in things for that which we don't understand, yet pretend too, of course.

We are garbage men and senators, Suffis and Sikhs. We are Muslims and Buddhists, Africans and Russians, Prime Ministers and Presidents. We are homeless and mediocre, we are ugly and pretty, we live in mud houses and ritzy hotels. We are among skyscrapers or don't even understand the concept of one. We are a people of cannibals and vegetarians, we are a people among the educated and the hopeful.

We are what we are as I believe us to be.

That is how the mind wanders.
