Life of the Seemingly Unworldly

Thoughts are always meant to give one an out-of-proportion calibration of things. Things in life. Simple things. Like the tastiness of food, the sound of a bullet, insulting comments, public speaking, condition of working experience, trust in friendship, fear of loss, paranoia, etc.

Or at least, it seems to be that way. Most of the time.

Far from its actual reality of things, it follows that the favour is on the non thought-induced to blame the other for any disproportions in their assessment of a given situation. In this scenario, one can merely accept (albeit with defiance at times) the ego-shattering fact of his own inexperience.

The truth is, gravity is dictator. But so are thoughts. Thoughts that ought to defy gravity often emerge from the ridiculed. Yet, they induce confidence and exude optimism.

At the end of the day, who are to judge one’s thoughts? Or life principles? Even if those thoughts and principles are thought to be inexperienced? Is not that a thought that is likely to be an out-of-proportion one as well? Are not those merely typical life standards? And is not typical standards doesn’t always equate to a legitimate one at the exclusion of other degrees of standards?

This only means that while inexperience is still possibly existent, the legitimacy of one’s thoughts is inherently relative.

Complexities ought to be simplified. Yet, thoughts have always been known to be out-of-proportion from its actuality. Or, it is made to appear that way. A condition that gives way to underweighted justifications.

Life should not be a race. Yet many have fallen prey to the contrary. Destroying lives, only to realize what matters at the end of the day.

Is this realization an inexperienced one? Then again, does it really matter?
