Yarn Ball

Saturday, December 26, 2009
Life is like a rolled a yarn ball in the corner of a dark room.


We are complex beings. Things are never as they seem, when compensating for psychological repression and prejudice, we have a very hard time knowing how we feel. I fear that the decisions I am going to make on life ,that are purely based on emotions, will be the hardest decisions I will make in my life. I would assume everyone feels like that.

The question is what are these decisions. Should we leave all choice to our caprice? When do we tell ourselves that here stops emotional decisions and here begins the realm of rationality? Yes, I do know that there are people who live in a completely cerebral world, but is that ideal? Is that the pursuit of life? Am I denying something by denying feelings altogether?

I struggle with this question on a daily basis. When to be a rationalist and when to set that side of myself aside. I fear it will be a lifelong try-and-fail experiment. I just I hope I don’t get that question wrong when it counts the most.
