Ah ha!

Now I remember the reason why I write: procrastination. I had forgotten that that's how this whole thing got started all those many months ago. Well now I'm back into classes again (actual classes this time, not fake ones) and all I want to do is capture all these crazy thoughts floating around in my head. Just like I made my bug collection in the fourth grade by netting butterflies in the backyard and then pinning them and displaying them on the foam in my moth-ball scented wardrobe, I want to stay up all night and word-hunt and then pin them down with 12 point font. I know, the stench is almost as bad.

However, tonight all I am going to do is quote. Suprisingly, the most striking thought that I've had today about humanity or anything at all didn't come from anyone who was trying to say anything about the human condition, rather he is a political scientist commenting on bipolarity versus multipolarity in the international arena. But I think it works when talking about one's own, internal arena as well.

"Simplicity breeds certainty; certainty bolsters peace." -- John J. Mearsheimer

So, I wish you all simplicity, certainty, peace and a pleasant night.
