Vis inertiae – the power of inertia – why things never change

Ignorant people think it is the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain’t so; it is the sickening grammar that they use.
- Mark Twain

Sometimes you’ll think about something, something that seems far off in the future. You might think, “I can’t stand to wait that long! How am I ever going to be able to stay sane until then?!” When really, that’s beside the point. Life goes on, time passes, whether you’re watching the clock or not. And things will happen while you’re busy concentrating on that one thing that was so important a little while ago. When you finally sit up and look around you, everything’s changed. What you want might be completely different, and you won’t be able to recognise that unless you’re willing to stop concentrating on that one thing. You might think you want something, and while you’re pining away after it, the world spins again and everything changes. What if you get that thing that you’ve wasted so much time on hanging around for, and it turns out to be nothing much at all?

These are the things that are important: feeling respected. Feeling appreciated. Family & friends (and kittens). These are the things which are worth your time. Fun is also almost always worth your time

I don’t know what’s made me so philosophical lately. Maybe I should go stand in King George Square with a sash and a megaphone, praising jeebus (praise be!). Maybe I should go back into my corner. Either way, shut up.
