As a kid you have so many things to look forward to. Things that will surely come to pass: new school years, new friends, new discoveries, drinking (maybe experimenting with drugs), clubbing, dancing, new school courses to take, school dances, sports, prom, falling in love, kissing, sex, dating, getting a girlfriend, boyfriend, getting a car, graduating from highschool, going to college, getting a job, finding a career, going to graduate school, getting married, having kids, buying a house…
The Wanting for Knowledge and Knowing
Posted by Uneshigi in Short Thoughts on 10/11/2011
Been thinking about the idea of why we desire to learn. Why we are motivated to try to understand things.

The desire to learn, to know is the same reason why we wish to “connect” with others and everything around us. Learning and knowing is part of the process of becoming “one” again. Becoming what we were before. Trying to go back to who we were before we were born. The why of this exercise is still a mystery. But obviously we were omnscient. And by learning and knowing, we are rebecoming who we were.

The Key to Happiness is..
Posted by Uneshigi in Short Thoughts on 07/02/2009
The key to happiness is \”lowered expectations\”. Not as easy as it sounds. Fortunately, my primary goal in life isn\’t necessarily to be \”happy\”; a very subjective emotional state.
