My rambling page

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man (Discworld, #11; Death, #2

)

I got back to sleep this morning and kept waking up but couldn't move couldn't even open my eyes and then realized I was still asleep and woke up and was still frozen. It happened a few times. I am not actually sure if the last time I woke I was actually sleeping or awake but I was locked inside my own body again but slowly forced my eyelids open and I was awake.

I like that one too. My pondering tonight- Intelligence has always been a key trait of worth in my family well certain types of Intelligence anyway but as I get older I Starr to realize that Intelligence and perception can have a significant negative impact on my life.

To perceive too much to comprehend too much of can be just as challenging to our health as not understanding enough.

I have talked with some smart people on here and I'm wondering how much of the pain of our lived experience comes from too much insight instead of a lack of it.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

What comes to my mind is a movie reference (not with standing personal experience. Like Proust...What was with that guy?! Although I did hear he was quite a lot bedridden, so...)

Anyway, in this movie the woman is talking to an ex lover and says something about him going off and getting married without notice. He says he married the woman he loved. And besides, she went and got married, too! Then she says: "Yeah, I married the man I thought I loved". To which the guy so eloquently responds: "Well, see right there! Thought will fuck u up" (smile)
