you know when...
posted @ 13:40 by ryan in [ From the sage... ]

things are not going your way... and you know that everything is going to be fine in the end and just getting to the end where everything is going to be fine is where you want to be but the place where you are now is not so much fun but you know you need to go through it to get to the end where everything is fine...

yeah...

that sucks.

but...

when you finally get past that place that is not so much fun and you can actually revel in the fact that you are not in that place that is not so much fun and you are that much closer to the end where you know everything is fine...

that rocks.

but then there are times when you get past the place that is not so much fun and you revel in the fact that you are not in that place that is not so much fun and you are closer to the end where everything is going to be fine but you are headed into a place that is not so much fun...

yeah.

I do not like that.

but I will not focus on the place where I am not, because the place where I am is that on which I need to concentrate because if I worry about the past, then I am silly, and if I worry about the future, I forget to cherish the now, and then end...

well, that is inevitable...

besides, we can only do what we are able and what we are willing...

anything past that is not ours to decide.

leaps and bounds...

quantum physics.

superposition of states.

decoherence.

gravity.

SchrÖdinger's cat.

I have been reading about it. trying to understand it.

from what I can grasp is that quantum mechanics tries to describe the behavior of particles - as in atoms or smaller.

apparently they, the atoms or smaller, can be affected by mere observation, so that what you would expect a particle to do will only happen if you are watching it... or not watching it... or vice versa...

it is bending my brain, but it is quite interesting...

if you care...

if you happen to have any knowledge on this subject matter and are fairly confident that you are competent in your ability to speak in lay terms, then please...

let me buy you a cup of coffee and explain it to me....

in small words.
