Wave-particle duality. Dog in the manger. Jesus loves you.

To get this out of the way - of course, I'm slightly worried that my blogposts scream 'me, me, me'. I try to be objective, although that is the stupidest concept in the world. Nothing is objective. Not even what we like to call 'facts'. And if your mind cannot grasp the concept of wave-particle duality and the immeasurability of quantum scale matter, which seizes to be 'matter' as we, 'plebs', understand it, then how can you argue about a situation, a 'fact' being a constant. Development never occurs where its pseudo-counterpart (Mr I-Already-Know-It-All) operates.

So, I will let go of my 'I know it all' attitude in certain situations and 'chill'. Because, one has to accept that one's 'best' might never be good enough for someone. And it is absolutely fine. 'Live long and prosper'. (And let live.)
Do you remember the fable about the dog in the manger? He wouldn't let the horse (in its Greek version) eat the grain even though he didn't want it himself. Though, I'm neither grain, nor hay. A dog can die from a snake bite.

I used to walk over people and, once I made a decision, I never looked back. It's time to remember this, but from now on combine it with compassion and respect. I'd never want to hurt anyone carelessly again (although it was a long, long time ago and these people have been gracious and forgiven me for my words and attitude). Even when my defences are up, it's not worth it. However, it is also not worth jumping in a dark hole just because others like to bathe there in blissful misery.
Nothing is constant. And every day I say 'Thank You' that my life has been relatively easy. That I can help people, even if it's just a little.

And 'no' means 'no'. Thanks to a dear friend, I stick to my guns (which, in this case are my ability to see humour in everything and being self-sufficient, so much so that I have energy left over to not worry about it being 'taken away').

Jesus loves you.

Peace out.
