Logic took a bit hit the other day. It's losing some strength in the fight for whats sensible in the world. That may sound outwardly ridiculous... and it is actually. That's the best part, what makes it interesting enough to write about. Coming from "Mr. Analytical" himself no less.
I'll get to the point then. Friendship is an essential component of a well rounded existence. Those ties strengthen our social skill-set, give us a lifeline when times get unbearable, provide an objective ...eh actually just a different point of view. We all know this.
On the other hand friendships bring a few other things that can seem outwardly undesirable: peer pressure, lowered inhibition, um...goofiness? I have to come to learn that those little things that made me such an introvert are actually not that bad. but the main one is Entropy of Logic. Your friends plight will cloud your opinion of a topic when it involves them. Perfect example your watching T.V., some guy gets arrested for DUI and your like "Ya Dude! C'mon! how could you do that you reckless Criminal?!" hoping they go to prison for life. Then, your best friend has a few drinks, is totally capable of driving becasue she's an alcoholic and has a tolerance that would put an elephant to shame (JUST AND EXAMPLE), gets pulled over and arrested, gets 5 years of probation that costs a 100$ a month and she can barely cover her expenses as it is and your like -how could those evil bastards do that to my poor best friend?! That is an example of Entropy of Logic.
I want to talk about another aspect of Entropy of Perception. This one is serious, deadly and arguably present in some individuals at birth. The best way to describe this one is to give an example: My wife says "The garage is flooded." Just a simple statement. Their is no question. There is no accusation. The diseased individual hears a completely different story. He/She hears "The garage is flooded so please immediately fix the sump pump that is obviously still broken even though your incompetent low-life ass said you fixed it." So goes the poor sap, his big "S" torn from their respective chests and try again to fix the sump. Forget that said individual, is highly skilled at almost anything. very competent in everything and worth a million dollars. That Entropy -or if from birth just a disease, ruins this person. some just suffer depression but those of my type do the worst. Jump into addiction and surround themselves with people they can feel superior too.
It's good, because without it, I wouldn't have the support I do now. I wouldnt have my best friend in the whole world because I have a disease of perception... my Wife. Aurora understands my "goofy" disease and is patient enough to wait until I realize I'm looking at something askew. I am very lucky. I'm Lucky for the love of my life Aurora.
