If this is a journal… it sucks. After re-reading some of these… whatever they are, sections; I realize this is a conduit for reporting on thoughts I have when I should be busy. And here I am again asking questions: Is there a shortage of words? I’ve written about sentiments, moods, situational sentimentalism—is it all about communication, social constructivism, internal versus external working models, internal AND external; am I thinking in terms of psychology, social-psychology, sociology, anthropology, social work—is there a meaningful difference? I just want to know what makes us do what we do. I don’t think there is a grand theory that will explain it because I don’t know what “it” is. And I don’t know if I’m looking for answers or questions. I suppose wanting to ‘know’ implies answers, but maybe life is the answer and we are coming up with interesting questions in response. So what is an interesting question? Maybe one that everyone gets to answer with their own life. So a common one would be ‘what is the purpose of life?’ Then people answer it through living. The purpose isn’t set in stone, the potentiality is the answer—I get that its like saying ‘wherever you find yourself, there you are.’ So what governs our actions? It’s a question that can only be answered by each.
