ENTRY 1:
I understand why people aren't meant to read each other's minds. There are so many things we couldn't possibly begin to understand about the other.
Things we shouldn't understand.
Secrets we shouldn't know, thoughts we shouldn't hear, ideas that shouldn't be put into action.
In a way, I think we all crave for knowledge of things we don't understand.
We're just too selfish to see that it would be better at times if we just knew less.
ENTRY 2:
I learned a very important lesson today.
No one, and no thing is perfect.
If anything 'appears' perfect, it's not. It's just veiled by an invisible curtain, so you can't see how bad it really is.
And when someone is curious enough to pull back the curtain to see what lies behind, that is when we should run.
Because behind that curtain is pain and anger.
Sadness.
Every feeling people lock up inside themselves and push away to forget. Or to pretend that they don't exist.
But if things are always this bad what should we do?
Should we continue about our daily lives, and leave all the pain and sadness behind the curtain?
Should we tear the curtain back and face our many demons?
Or would those demons be worth facing after they left behind tattered remains?
I'm not sure.
These are thoughts I can contemplate only in my journal.
ENTRY 3:
How do we know if one is "pure"?
Are we measured by our good deeds and bad?
Or is it all about our intentions and thoughts?
Can someone be considered "good" if they've never been given the chance to be "bad"?
Or are they just unclassified for the moment?
Surely they would face temptations to be "bad" sometime in their life.
And when they do, what exactly calls for them to be placed in either the "good" category or the "bad"?
Are we all being faced with temptations on a daily basis?
Is it possible for us to rise above our 'bad' and become 'good' once again?
Or is it that by the time we've decided to change our ways, our test for being classified into either of these categories has already expired?
For now, I can only hope that this isn't so.
Otherwise, I may not be able to make my way back into the category we as humans have dubbed as "good".
And if either of these categories do indeed exist, is it possible that there may be a third in addition to the two?
One for those of us who are neither "good" nor "bad", but are merely searching within ourselves to find what we really are.
If there is, I do believe that I belong in this category myself.
ENTRY 4:
What must one do to achieve happiness?
What is it that makes one sad?
It it perhaps just the plain fact of knowing one is unhappy that makes us feel sad?
Or is it knowing that now, even with as happy as one is, they could always be happier?
These are questions I often ask myself when I am feeling quite desolate in my current conditions.
Or just whenever I feel like I am abundantly happy.
Whichever happens to occur first.
ENTRY 5:
It only takes a taste.
Just one taste.
One dose, and we're hooked.
We crave it day after day, we yearn for having it again, and we'll strike down whatever stands in the way of us getting it.
We yell when it is taken, we scream when it is gone, and we pout like children trying to get it back.
They say only one teaspoon.
Just one.
But we indulge like always.
We lie about having it, we hide it when needed, and we suffer in our indulgence.
But what for?
