I forgot to remember I forget

“Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.”

My response
I agree... Observation though... I've been keeping a blog (this one) for [nearly] 4 years, on average 4 posts a month, basically it tracks what's important to me at the time, observations, thoughts, theories... It's amazing how much of it I forget, it's amazing how something which was important eventually becomes a distant memory, so I don't think all ideas stay 'stretched' some inevitably go back to how it was before thinking about it... and I'd never have realised this if I didn't experiment on myself.

The information may become memory; which is a more peaceful way to exist; though the stretching of the mind is done at the point of learning; altering the minds original trajectory. Or dimension as that quote put it.

Your mind has expanded significantly in the past 4 years.

....

It sure has, and that's evident with the documentation... It's original purpose was to practice articulating and dividing complex thoughts and theories ... I did get better but I'm still a bit wordy... One day I'll have those light bulb one liners like the one which inspired this chat

Is this education now?

State of mind is the relationship

You can arrive in a relationship before it starts and leave a relationship before it ends.

Want more control over people? Don't do this!

Don't try and read minds - it can't be done!

Sometimes The Lie Is Prettier

It's hard to replace a simple concept with a difficult or abstract one, even if they are right and the simple concept is wrong

The drug we all crave

Can the drug we call love be just like any other drug? ...  Even though reality could be pretty bad,  this feeling can make it seem like everything is OK,  or that pain isn't painful,  just no big deal...  But once you crash,  you crash hard!
Be careful of your dosage and what you decide while on it.

Feel v Fact

Feeling does not dictate fact.

Example.

If we feel gross,  doesn't mean we
If you feel someone is rich,  doesn't mean they are
If we feel dumb,  doesn't mean we are
If you feel attacked,  doesn't mean you are
If we feel worthy,  doesn't mean we are
If you feel misunderstood,  doesn't mean you are
If we feel right,  doesn't mean we are
If you feel betrayed,  doesn't mean you are
If we feel popular,  doesn't mean we are
If you feel nothing's wrong doesn't mean it isn't
If we feel...  We can question how we feel and if our feelings and reality match up.

But feelings are your fact,  you are allowed to feel and it's OK to feel how you do,  just be careful... Did reality triggered your feelings or yourself which may contradicts reality... 
So what is reality? The world we perceive through our minds and senses which is influenced by how we feel.
