doing...

everything is linked. everything is intertwined.

you say one things and a few months later people think you are crazy.

of course, you might actually be crazy - but whatever - you probably aren't.

there is a modicum of order in which we live. there is order because we trust. in order for us to trust, that requires faith.

without order then the many things which we take for granted are no longer afforded to us. crossing the street or drinking water. when there is no order, there is no trust. without trust, we lose faith...

and without faith we have nothing.

we have rules for a reason.

they are there to provide a sound structure around what society deems best for certain situations.

some rules are never meant to be broken...

others are just guidelines...

we cannot always follow the rules laid down by man because sometimes we don't know that some rules we have placed upon ourselves are restricting development. so we break some now and again because we believe that by doing so will increase the untility in the world.

however, we cannot just blatantly ignore all of the rules, because by doing so, there can be no foundation of trust and understanding from which everyone can draw...

the thing is, if something is flexible, then everything must necessarily be flexibe, right?

no - just because one thing is flexible, doesn't mean that everything has to be...

whatever.

so I'm in that in between age again...

at least at work.

I'm not a spring chicken, but I'm not a grizzled veteran. I'm not young, but I'm not quite old.

I feel like I'm 13 again. Not the unsure of my body-changing-voice-don't-know-how-to-talk-to-girls feeling, but more of the feeling that I can no longer do the things that younger ones could do, but not quite old enough to hang out with the older ones...

outside work - in my peer group (+/- 5 years) - there are the divides between those that are single, those that are just married or about to be married, and those with kids...

I guess you can probably break it down it to many more groups, but I think those are the the most prevalent ones (in my experience)
