on: today (redux) and yesterday
March 26, 2008
I’ll take a brief break from studying.
I was thinking about what I was supposed to write today, but I can’t remember (note to self, when you have something to write about, write away right away).
Anyways, I’d like to comment on my previous entry like a bone.
I lied.
on: today
March 19, 2008
I’m going to be starting a new series of called the “on:”. Here I’ll be focusing on whatever is in the latter portion of the “on:”. Among simplicity are intuitive, minimalistic in my list of favourites.
Today is a day unlike any other. It differs from yesterday. Sure, you may have done the same things today that you did the one before, but every instance of today is far different from yesterday.
You’re a different person from how you were yesterday. It’s a matter of fact. Every time your DNA replicates, it fails to make a complete copy of itself and truncates a little amount of yourself. You are who your DNA is.
Aside: how much does environment play a part in development and how much is predisposed?
The day is different. The clouds above you are from a place different than those that were above you yesterday. I’ll take a stab in the dark and say that these clouds are those that floated above the great plains of Africa.
In short, today is a new day and yesterday is something that can never be achieved.
But, then, why does yesterday hold so much weight, or does it?
