A chat with Rebecca:
And you're good at writing
It's like your brain is one huge mind map, though that's true for everyone
And you can go from one connection to another instantly
The parts make up the whole
And things once revealed seem obvious
Writing is just many parts
Plot characters setting flow sentence length
And the words are made up of parts
And sentences are too
It's like taking seeing the whole through the parts
A picture may be of a horse, but it is, after all, a picture
The horse has legs
And a muzzle and eyes, tail, mane
Altogether it's a horse
But the picture is of a horse
I think that a horse is a horse and a picture is a picture
You think people have 2 eyes, one nose, 2 ears, one mouth
I say they're a girl or a boy
You say they're human, or not human, you say the parts of a human
Then a human is not a human
A horse is not a horse and a picture is not a picture
Wouldn't it be cool if everything wasn't just what it was? Wouldn't it be so much better if people saw themselves, people, as not just people, but unique individuals who they could learn from, and fully bask in the awe-full-ness?
But by being non-holistic, you only see the parts. Of people, limiting your limited perception of who they are. And reduce them. They could have learned something from you too. Maybe they could've been your friend. You could have learned something, you could have gained a friend, or maybe more, you lost the connections that didn't exist. Most importantly you lost the opportunities. In my opinion, that's what's worth the most. After this year, you may miss the people, but it's so un-holistic. You'll miss the people in the small confined world you thrive in, that everyone lives in their own, but what of the others? Will you miss the others? What will there be to miss if you don't know them well in the first place?
Being un-holistic, you're narrowing your options. Making the world smaller and the universe bigger. Miss the opportunities.
I don't get what's the obstacle. Preventing people from reaching out. Actually, I do, but I don't get why we can't overcome it. Non-face-to-face communication is so easy nowadays.
They are more than they seem, though. If a one-year old is so cute, so fascinating, so fussed over, then a thirteen year old should be too, thirteen-fold.
Be holistic! We're made of the same stuff.
