When It's Too Hot To Handle

You just have to remember...

When It's Too Hot To Handle
Serious Seats

It is funny the way we get caught up in the moment.

We try to view ourselves as beings with power.

"Gods perfection creation..."

I love how God has so many variations of "perfect".

It puts our behaviors at best.....imperfect.

Irrational even.

Imagine the following:

Hypothesis: If irrationality and intelligence are applied to an organism, they will conclude they are rational beings due to intelligence, ultimately ignoring their irrationality.

What an experiment that would be!

An intelligent organism

One that rises about the rest.

And as it becomes even more developed....

I can only imagine the distinction they of themselves to other organisms.

It is what Elliot Aronson refers to as Cognitive Dissonance.

To only accept the favorable knowledge suitable for their cause....

These intelligence organisms are surely falling into a pitfall.

They continue to accept what is necessary, never what is essential.

So how will these passionate irrational social animals realize their dissonance?

It may be the greatest dilemma of this time!

I truly believe the majority would take an eternity to realize.

If these beings truly are intelligent and rational....

Wouldn't their behavior be predicted?

They would live in a society where everything is predicted exactly...

Yet they do not,

So they deny their irrationality.....becoming "rational" in the moment.

Yet those who realized their moments as happily unpredicted...

they find irrationality as happiness at its core.

They look to all scenarios...

only to realize they will never now what comes next.

For they never know what an unpromised tomorrow can bring.

So to look into those terrifying moments and remember.

They are only there for a brief time.

They find their irraitonality....becoming the truly intellgent.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
