Another as I

No one is ever truly alone. For some this may be a difficult concept to accept in the beginning. There are many ways to rebuttal against the argument, but because of the quantum state of mass, you are always connected to someone, whether you accept it or not. Relate this, if you will, to the arguments presented about choice in previous topics. But remember, just because you choose not to believe doesn't mean that it isn't so.

For a long time I believed I was alone in my thoughts about psycology, quantum mechanics, and human nature. It seemed that although many people understood and even believed in what I had to say, I hadn't found anyone who ALREADY believed in the things I like to talk about. This led me to believe that I had a kernel of truth, but that there must be some giant hole in my theory if no one had made the same associations before. I know that most of them are not truly origonal, but my basis of belief seemed slightly unique.

Until last night. As a happen-chance encounter, a wonderful girl by the name of Ashley took a bold move and asked if I wanted to hang out. I jumped on the opportunity to do so, as I had not spent much time with her in about six years. There's a long story between us, for both spent the greater portion of our respective adolescence not but four houses away from each other in a crowded suburban neighborhood, but I digress....

I had already been taken back by her maturity and solid stature when we met back up about a week ago, and taken further back by her love of online gaming and general knowledge. What a surprise I was in for....

We only were able to speak briefly in the halls or in passing during smoke breaks at work. So when she arrived at my apartment and we began to exchange theories of quantum physics, I was at first frustrated when all of my theories came out of HER mouth! My thunder had been swept away, but after a short realization I found myself ever entranced by the fact that someone else out there truly believed the way I did, and believed so before I spoke a word. I immediately took advantage of the double-take, swept my short-lived frustration (a mix of jelousy and scientific infatuations) straight off the second story deck of my apartment and we immediately began the exchange of information.

Her pure understanding, coupled with her extensive vocabulary and understanding of the relationships between telemerase and immortality, photons and quanta, matter and energy, quantum superpositioning, electromagnetic engines, greek mythology, and all the other topics that skimmed the course of a night saturated in deep conversation set my worries aside. She, like myself, wants nothing more than to show the world what man is really capable of if we but only put aside our petty thoughts of religion and embraced our humanity.

It was like standing under a waterfall after playing in the mud. I had been saturated with a general disposition that no matter what portions of my beliefs were accepted by certain people, it always seemed that one would re-mystify things with biased perspectives when it was all said and done. Truth of the matter is that reality is mystical enough as it is, if you only choose to accept it. Her prior acceptanced washed away both doubt and frustration that I had been fighting an uphill battle. There were others out there, others that accepted the challenge of showing this world what it was capable of and pushing themselves to learn more.

Now are the days when the open-minded and insightful can soak up knowledge like a sponge. Take advantage, and your cup will overflow with information by the ton. This great knowledge, like a freshly brewed cup of green tea, is a satisfying sort of refreshment, and just the thing to cure the woes of a dreary day.

Thank you knowledge seekers, and soldier on. Fight the good fight, and prove to the world just why it exists.
