Apathy And Other Hypothetical Paths

I have spent extensive hours studying entropic ennui, from the under the billowing folds of an enormous duvet...and can honestly, semi-conclude and report:

Everything IS as bad as we think it is.

But then I thought...

No, hang on, would that not also mean: things are only as bad as we think they are ?!

So, if we all thought differently, things would conversely have to appear, and even feel differently.
Right!?! Am I right?! Oui ?!? Non?! Am I onto something here*+;..

Not that logic and rationality is always readily at hand on the end table beside the kleenex box, in the dead-of-winter (a telling phrase I feel...'dead of winter' ((shudder)) ) when things aren't busily motoring along as they tend to in Summer's fuzzy bumble bee bum days.

Somewhere in the folds of my mind and duvet I realised everything we think, feel and ultimately come-to-know, is / was always & always will be just a decision away.

Then again, it's always the most simplistic things in and about life that are the most difficult.

But, let's go with this thought for a second....

Hypothetically, one could instantly recognize they are feeling like ___________insert word, feeling, experience or gist.

i.e.: a freshly plopped steamin' meadow muffin abandoned to rot and disintegrate on a frosty moor

or: sad

or: insignificant

My point, as steamin, sad and insignificant as it may be is - once you recognize you have ceased all involuntary actions like *blinking*, it is then you must walk your fixated glazed staring zombified, rigamortis-setting-self over to your Mp3 or iPod, and thumb your way through your unending quantity of songs, find Beethoven's 9th symphony...and with the last ounce of energy flick your opposable thumb, that isn't opposing or thumbing your decision, and let someone else's art and effort be what break you out of your wee bit of ennui, and rejuvenate your shrouded duvet spirits.

Be sure to crank up the volume up as loud as it can go, and launch into your heavy metal rocker air-head-banging thrashing movements to the life affirming symphony.

And voila, you have regained control of your helm, by summoning all your strength and power like WonderWoman (even if you're a guy) by deciding to: think, act, feel, do and be differently.


What are we supposed to do? I hear you ask, cause none of you were really paying attention cause there are some residual effects from that ennui grip?

That's how! How? You start by asking a question!

But ask this next one, not that one...

Prompt yourself with this question:

"Hey-ho-fella, why am I letting my brain ooze our of my ear, might I not need it later this year?"

Bottomline: Perhaps everything....anything....we couldn't imagine a mere nanosecond prior, is just a mere decision & action away.

Technically, I suppose that could apply to negative things too...but I won't give you any examples to template, or contemplate here.

Let's say within our happier hypothetical realm.

And if that doesn't help lift your spirits, go find some primary coloured underwear and pretend you're Wonder Woman and sit in your invisible plane until spring arrives, when you roll yourself out the hangar and rejoin the living.
