Look through
the beer bottle
Standing, staring, and for once realizing. An unending struggle to understand, one way or another, back and forth, an external war of mind verses mind, body smashing body. A conflict in which internal mindful structure stands weak and desolate among a constant oceanic battering of external thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Life on Earth is so very rarely slowed, and in even in these slight instances, it remains remote by physical measurements. It confuses the ordinary to stop and think for even the mental rapidity of a moment, a moment with which the immense analytical computer of the mind throws itself at the most unusual of problems. It enters an entrancing state in which anything can be taken into perspective and considered with an unmatched scrutiny. The puzzle to this equation lies in conscious rest or boredom with a will to do nothing. The psyche's will to do nothing sends itself into a frenzy of conscientious analyzing and finds a greater meaning in many unrelated things. Let me elaborate on the word "things", I find the word to be a just that when many scholars do not, I ask why not? I also answer with a definition of why. A "thing" is a general object of mass or no mass, it is generality. I find this of the utmost importance now due to the irony in the disbelief of a word when in all Truth, we do not know what anything is, so who are we to decide what is and what is not? We obviously do this to set structure to our delicate social minds, but in doing so we return to the frenzied existence we seem to appreciate and yet do not rightly know why. A simple knowing of the unknown is in order here, but who would sit and delve into a pool of thought to know something so seemingly unimportant? Not many. This attitude leads to our belief in the sensual world and eventual suckling and "life support" style nature that we as humans find near impossible to remove ourselves from. This is in majority true, and due to it being a majority and not a completion, we will find the odd, or the even, depending on the spectrum that take that little time and let their minds calmly slide them away from what is "reality" and truly think in intelligence, and not solely in smarts. Even fewer however, actually take the time afterwards to realize the world or some small slice of it perhaps in the way their psyche has guided them to see it.

I describe a time now in which an unknown man to you or me made sense of the world within a few minutes and with an argument
