thought#23

every thing is random and meaningless in itself.
nothing is profound or life changing.
nothing ever changes and never will.
since the time we are born our genetic makeup provides us with set of abilities that we are good at or as we notice in our growing years, 'natural' at. this differentiates the way in which we start interacting with our surroundings. it kind of gives us a uniqueness, which in itself is quite random if we look at the possible genetic makeups we could have had, had any other blasted sperm won the race. our abilities, feelings and desires are further randomized by parameters such as social upbringing, environment around us when we grow up, and a series of conclusions drawn upon scattered events which wire our neuroses on as we grow up. these events provide us with experiences that shape our understanding of the world and make our basic nature as we grow up.
what changes us, what makes who we are is well, not god, not our parents, not us, it is just random chance. the simultaneity of a few happenings which affect the way in which an inexperienced young mind processes perception of reality. it is this process of perception of reality that changes it, and it does not change it at just one instance, it changes it for every possible future 'experience'. the ripples of these conclusions never die down and a cumulation of these conclusions change us, make us who we are.
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
-albert einstein
