Ever had one of those moments of clarity when you discover something new about yourself? I was watching Elementary today and started thinking about why I like the shows I do. It dawned on me that most of them I watch because most of the characters in them are highly intelligent or function on a different plane of reasoning. Some of them I relate to due to the fact that they don’t let the preconceptions or strictures of the general public guide the way that they think or act, and therefore experience a freedom that most people will never get the chance to enjoy. Taking this into account I understand more of why some people may not be able to handle my views on many subjects. I see so many people trying to emulate the popular norm instead of embracing their individuality, even if it does not align with what everyone else thinks they should do. No wonder we live in such an unhappy world where everyone is labeled negatively when they are being themselves, or just not adhering to the social norm.
Oh well…
PS Took a week off and was glad I did.
