rumination
i ponder too much. many other people probably get along with less than half the doubting that i do a day. or maybe i'm wrong and everyone's equally, if not more – what's the right word? – angsty than i am. according to Wikipedia angst is sometimes used with a derisive connotation that "mocks the expression of a common adolescent experience of malaise". i don't care, i don't feel derisive about angst.
anyway today was a good day, i had only 2 essays to do, and got some math quizzes back which were actually good news. heck, if you spend 2 hours mugging chain rule, product rule and quotient rule, you'd hate yourself if you didn't actually do pretty well in a differentiation quiz.
as you should by now, i am plagued with a gnawing doubt about what i believe and whether it's true, and about what i think is right and whether it actually is. it's a product of our society, where you have to be right or you're deemed a failure. everyone likes success. just that, in our society, success means being right and earning money and having 3 or more. (odd how these stock phrases enter my thoughts at just about any possible moment.)
can human thought be controlled? do we even know if we are being brainwashed? how can we know?
answers please.

What is apathy and what is ignorance?
I don't know and I don't care.

I'm afraid there's no answers. I get this whole angst thing too. The least you can do is stick to what you believe because reasons don't exist. And then you'll die, and then maybe, maybe it won't make any difference.
Why do you think I avoid the logical? I firmly believe that reason is only a figment of our imagination. Cause-and-effect is an illusion, and you can't really prove otherwise without contradicting yourself and tying your brain in knots.
