I don’t know about you, but I generally find people incredibly confusing. This has always been the case, although lately it has come to be a problem because of increased exposure – although it is worth mentioning that the aforementioned increase in exposure is not my doing, god knows I’d do anything to stop it as soon as I know what that is that I should be doing to get to the desired results – but a matter of growing up and being in college and what not. A lot of times, I find myself thinking I probably shouldn’t have done that, even though it made complete sense in my head then later produced explosive results. Then it hit me, people don’t make sense, so trying to do something that makes sense won’t make sense to people.
Following that logic, it became even more confusing to figure out what to do on certain occasions, because logic is counterproductive and it’s not exactly as easy as pretending everyday is opposite day. Which brings us to our next conclusion, not only does logic not work, the opposite of presumed logic is equally dysfunctional. That’s when I found myself in quite the conundrum, and in a desperate attempt of damage control, I tried to directly treat the problem by eliminating the cause; being people. Turns out that’s not all that easy either, if not impossible. Eliminating pressure works with chemistry, not people. Fixing denominators works with maths, not people. Where does that leave us? Right where we started, with some modification; I generally find people incredibly confusing, and I haven’t the least idea what to do about that.
You see, you can’t work it out on paper. You can’t jot down the preferred outcome and design a plan of action with variables and constants and a function that forms a pattern, because people are full of variables and absolutely no constants that would help form a pattern. What’s more, you can’t even see those variables half the time, and in my case, not quite understand them when they’re out.
I’m not going anywhere with this. I would if I could, but I don’t know how to.
What I do know is this though; I’m not compatible.
You see, I’ve come to the funny realization that when it comes to people, I’m quite the Forrest Gump. That’s why most things backfire only when they involve human specimens. I got no problem with texts, facts, numbers and written things, but this whole interactive organic Neanderthals walking on twos with emotions and choice and thought and background and a gazillion other things adding to the ever-changing bio-blob that is a person, this is usually how I take it:
And this is usually how I react to it:
And this is usually how it turns out:
The one difference is this; it actually worked for Forrest Gump in the end. Be it luck, providence or sheer karma that steered things in his way, it eventually worked.
