I finished that book I was reading. Good book filled with the complex nuances that make up the lives of individuals and groups of people as a collective. I don’t think deep-sea diving is my hidden passion, but I can see the appeal to others, especially men lol. I think men like to conquer a challenge, prove to themselves the extent of their own capabilities, and to be the one to fill in missing pieces of puzzles. Of course, women have a desire for these things, but let’s be honest, it’s more a man thing. I think it’s okay that there are some stereotypes. I think it’s naive to think there’s no truth behind them. It’s also naive to allow those assumptions to dictate how one approaches reality. Since the book I was reading touched on WWII and Nazis, I’ve been thinking about the soldiers of the Third Reich. I have no idea what most of these individuals thought, and I have no idea the circumstances in their lives that led to them joining the military. Speaking of naive, I think it’s extremely naive to assume what one would do in a situation like that without giving it a tremendous amount of thought. Even then, one really doesn’t know until he or she is face-to-face with a certain kind of adversity. It’s nice to think, “Oh, I wouldn’t do that!” It’s even nicer to think, “Oh, I would do that!” We really don’t know until we know. There’s a lot of shit I’m content with not knowing. 

This is making me think about another thing I’ve touched on in a few posts. You don’t know what you don’t know. I want to learn about stuff enough to really grasp how much I don’t understand. Nearly everything can be broken down again and again to reveal different complexities. I think once you realize you’re probably never going to get a full grasp on something coincides with when you’ve learned enough to get a decent grasp on it. I can’t believe Agent Orange was real. I can’t believe a lot. I better start believing it though, this is our reality, honeybuns! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. Unless you hate Halloween, then I just hope you had a good day. I hope you have a good one tomorrow too.
