rain on sunday afternoons ( i wish i could explain or express it better)

people play the life game blindly. they do not see what really makes them happy, they do not see what they really want. they like the strawberry cake and do not realize it is the strawberries what they really enjoy so they seek for strawberry cakes instead of strawberries. they like the taste of lemon so they drink lemon soda. it would be ok if they knew they were doing it because of the lemon but they do not see, moreover they think that you are weird since you go for the lemons directly.

i do not know if what i am writing here goes under psychology, philosophy or bad literature! i just have this idea that many of our lives' pleasures have got something to do with the feeling of abstraction and abstraction has got something to do with the lack of "worrying". The absolute demolotion of "worrying" is impossible i suppose. If you know exactly what is going to happen that means you just live a scenario, you do not have the feeling of having a free will. So stopping "worrying" is an art, it is "the art". It is only possible to simulate it in a capsule where you will still have some but at a very reduced level from the perspective of someone looking outside the capsule. From that perspective, you will still be in this world, since the outside watcher will see that the capsule is in this world but from inside, you can say you are in the capsule only. (assume a physical capsule with darkened windows). "Worrying" can be stopped only for a moment if it can be stopped, and it is impossible to know if it has really been stopped or not, you can only see the rising and falling edges of the curve, the moment itself, with a very rough comparison to physical objects (also a non parallel comparison), is not visible as atoms not being visible to the naked eye. (i guess a silghtly better comparison might be made with more knowledge of subatomic particles, especially ones who cant be seen at all but known to exist according to calculations).

that causes us to enjoy arts, movies, being in new places, imagining time travel, remembering things from past, living the moments that recalls past colors of our lives.

among all pleasures i enjoy this the most, so i eat strawberry cakes as well as going for walks to pick my own strawberries, on rained over paths, deep into the foggy forest.
