Reaction. Everything is the end result of what brought it about. And every act is a precursor to another. Everything is consequence and every consequence precedes an action. "Life" is our path in this revolving cycle of events. Every sight triggers a thought, every rationalization follows a different path, and in the patterns that form from our rationalizations we define our sense of logic. From these patterns we form individuality, from that individuality we find a space from which we are able to appreciate the world, and others. As a species, we crave knowledge, we demand perfection and complete understanding of the rules that set existence in motion. We make rules, we define, we explain and predict. We use concepts to define perfect representations of what we see. In that perfection we lose ourselves. In those concepts and definitions we trust our senses and ourselves. We strive to understand the mechanics of the universe all the while forgetting about the vast space within us. It seems we spend our days obsessing about the infinite space that resides outside our skin, in order to forget about the only thing we can ever strive to truly understand, our motives, ourselves. Nothing I say is binding to anyone but myself. This is an exercise in knowledge, a chance to define who I am and what I believe in. I think people are not what they think, or say, at the end of the day, people are what they do. Not because we define ourselves by other people's views, but because we should define ourselves under the frame of how we affect the world around us. There are no good people, there are just good deeds. This is my space, buried in the details are motives and conclusions, reason, logic and emotion, all of them in the mix of contradictions that makes me who I am, a set of rules, beliefs, patterns and thoughts that at the end of each exchange, at the moment of every sound, every image and every act, triggers a reaction.
