Day 14800 - Mental Enigma

It has been said that patterns can be found in chaos. However one must wonder.. 
When we are able to see the recurring patterns. Does that not itself create new chaos?

An alternative way of looking at the enigma might be to ask;

Do you believe you know the problem but not the solution?
Or.. 
Do you believe you have the solution but are not clear about the problem?

In engineering, the latter is eloquently called, Reverse Engineering.
Whereas reverse engineering the human brain requires a holistic understanding of the brain on it’s most abstract level. 

That mouthful brings greater realization of the complexities behind Mental Health. The belief of having a solution without understanding of the problem is more often than not, outside of one's mental capacity.

Day 14351 - Finding Patterns in Chaos

Sometimes when we’re first confronted with a problem it seems like it was born from confusion. A mess. Inorganization that makes no sense and has no purpose. Like it was assembled for no reason other than to hold us back, slow us down or block us from our goal.

But often if we take the time to look at things closer and understand them, we can begin to see patterns in the chaos. What was once chaos becomes symmetry. Random becomes planned. Madness becomes genius.

It’s that moment we can take the step forward. To the next level of the puzzle.

Chaotic Symmetry

Day 14322 - The Mentally Unhealthy

Being an advocate for, and proponent of mental health.. doesn’t make one mentally healthy. Sometimes the best thing someone can do is be empathic. Understanding.. or the belief or understanding of what others “need” at the cost of ones self is.. ok let’s be honest. is… a lot to take in.

The lines between being “selfish” and the want of what’s best for others is blurry. But we have to try. Even if we fall short due to our own limitations.

The “selfish” want is that someone can do better with your assistance. Your help. The essence of you being imbued, reflected and molded onto another. That falls short because.. you to want to benefit from this experience as much as you want others too. A human experience. But a selfish one.

The wanting of what’s best for someone is simply that… knowing and believing that someone can do better for themselves. Realizing their potential, regardless of you.

Nothing is ever so black and white. Especially when experiences fall short of expectations. All anyone can do is.. learn from them. In every regard. And that hopefully leads to being more mentally healthy.

Day 14268 - The Blinking Cursor

The blinking cursor.. It waits our command. Prompting us with questions like..

• what’s next?

• what do you want?

• where will this journey lead?

The concept is ridiculously overthought and yet you can stare at it and not prove me wrong. Sometimes it’s the simple things like a blinking cursor that are needed to take us to the next level of creativity and thought.

So cursor. What do you have for me next?
