Aftermath and the Grand Undertaking
Much has happened for the past week. Early on, I didn't sleep or eat very well. In fact, I was listless. I can tell you that being aware of many principles of psychology doesn't make you any less or more human. The only thing that seemed to have any remedy was to spend time with people. In fact, I am more than grateful for friends and family. Their time for me to momentarily lay some burdens onto them was beneficial. In fact, I am fortunate to have people around me who are willing to listen. Its comforting to have advice from those who are near and dear to you.
Lately, I have been re-investigating what I consider to be the Grand Undertaking. I'm not sure how to explain this thing of mine other than the notion that this has some epic consquences on my life and how I live it. Just prior to last year, I came to the conclusion of being resigned to it only because I have nothing to lose should I subscribe to it. However, half-assing my way is but another excuse of "sitting on the fence" without any real convictions in any direction. I don't know if I can solve this overnight or throughout my lifetime. Even still, being stuck at a crossroad for the rest of your life is a prospect that I wish not to have.
However, one thing is for certain to me. We as sentient beings cannot prove anything. We can gather evidence with whatever "eyes" we have, but still we cannot prove anything. "Evidence" should never be confused with "proof". So, that leads me to this notion: We as humans can gather as much evidence with whatever means that we can, but it all comes down to making a decision on whatever evidence we have. Sure, we can hold out for more evidence, but that is no end by itself. It still comes back to making a decision. Mark me on this one: Evidence demands a verdict.
On a separate yet related incident, I feel that the canonical "olive branch" needs to be extended to someone. At the advice (perhaps behest) of friends and family, I am advised to wait to handle this with some delicacy for emotions to settle. I am unsure as of how or even when I should try. Whatever the case, I can't simply just leave it be. It just isn't right. Healing is a good thing. Sincerity is too.
Overall, I am well. All this has prompted me to re-visit issues with people on things that happened well over 5 years ago. Before I've realized it, I've been finding closure with past issues in a very short amount of time. This isn't to say that I'm perfect or even close to it. This is just to say that things seem a little clearer. Clarity is good condition to live in.
