That's right hypothetical reader you get TWO profound thoughts for the price of one! Of course it's always free for you until i start publishing/recording but still, this is a special Occassion

Firstly I've surmised that a good chunk of our most meaningful experiences can be classified as ends and beginnings. Births and Deaths, Meetings and Partings, Gatherings and Dispersals etc. Of course from a temporal standpoint these events are relatively shortlived, but they have so much impact on the between which follows the beginning, and the reflection or maybe post(insert proper root) after the end.

Beginnings are generally joyful occassions, that is births, friendships etc, but can also include negatives - for instance the first encounter of a dating abuse relationship or an abusive marriage. At the time it may seem joyful but during the betweens and possibly reflections it will be recalled as the first step towards a dark hole (or whatever ominous imagery you prefer... i was thinking steep cliff but that just doesn't do it for me). There is also the case of enslavement, in which you know from the beginning (is that in abnito? i need to learn more latin) your experience is going to be a painful one.

Endings are traditionally sad events. Death of a loved one, or parting of a lover (distance perhaps). The end of a particularly fulfilling otaku convention. But they can also be happy - considering the negative beginnings mentioned above - emancipation (from enslavement) and the end of an abusive relationship. Also consider broader concepts, the end of a war for instance.

The second generalization I've made (not the second profound Idea mind you. theres one more coming) regarding this subject is that from a normal human perspective Happy beginnings usually culminate in Sad endings, and vice versa. In the future I might look into methods for eliminating sad endings (EG finding the silver lining).

My second profound thought is just a germ right now. To be more specific a cell. A single cell in say the human body. A cell is by definition organic, which means it's 'alive' (i'm not going to attempt defining that one right now o.O) and consequentially is capable of fulfilling certain tasks - to sustain itself and reproduce in and off it self. But cells do some strange things. They forego self sufficience to specialize and form larger organisms. I'm running out of time here, but some food for thought here (brain feeder! get it? like a bird feeder hahahaha :D >_>), why is it that we name each human being as a single entity when in reality they are made up of an incomprehensible number of smaller organisms?

Gotta go to class... will be back later.
