When out to lunch today, I jotted down these unpolished ideas. They are basically stream of consciousness.
The fluidity of the human mind is a great and terrible truth. It is also part of one of the only enduring truths: that no matter when or where, change is imminent. One moment the brain is positive about what you want and about your path. Then, without the slightest provocation the mind has changed itself. How is it possible for an individual, much less a society of individuals, to function? How can we contribute to society if we can't even decided what we want? I postulate, and though it might change, it is because we have certain constant concepts: beauty, truth, love, goodness. If you obtain any of these constantly you have a goal to maintain it. This goal motivates you to make choices hat let you keep these. It is for the good of your self, and the good of society therefore if your life contains beauty, truth, love, and goodness.
