well, here's week three...
I did go out 5 days of the week, and did try to extend friendly camaraderie to all who I crossed paths with. However, people seem to be even more reclusive than I am, which is considerable. It's somewhat relieving yet frustrating to realize that everyone is just about as socially awkward when it comes down to it. But then again, humans never seem to have been very friendly to one another. Funny how we managed to build a civilization through all that backstabbing and whatnot... I can't decide if humanity is the smartest or dumbest species on the planet.
There is excellent evidence for both.
Btw, just wanted to give a shout out to Nicola Tesla: it seems that Thomas Edison stole most of his inventions and just beat him to the patent office.
On that happy note, I think it's high time we all give ourselves a change in perspective. We tend to be very opinionated and most of us think we know what we want, but we don't seem to go about it the right way. Things like thinking affirmatively (such as "I hope it's sunny" instead of "I hope it doesn't rain" can, if nothing else, have an immense impact on our psyche.
So, since I have overcome my fear of reaching out to people, somewhat, I will continue to exercise this new social muscle as well as thinking is an affirming manner. Let's see how it plays out :)
Sorry I am not saying much today. Was a fairly uneventful week. But soon I am getting two courses from the Great Courses (I think that's what they are called): Astronomy and Philosophy. Really excited for them. And just like that I am in a good mood and ready to check out some funnyjunk.com.... the first time I visited that site I saw a mutilated hand.... it's diverse in its content.
Until next time friends.
