Hunger for mystery

Log start: 3:49am November 26th, 2010

People say that love has no boundaries, but as everyone "agrees" to that statement verbally, not all agrees to that in their heart.
Take the popular TV series "How I Met Your Mother" for example, there's a character named Ted. Ted goes through (currently) 6 seasons going from one girl to the other saying that they're "the one" for him.
When you find "the one" there's a possibility that they're not the one, as with Ted, none of them were so far. But what attracts you to these people is a mysterious force that cannot be explained by words.
When people ask you to list the things you like about a person, that's essentially asking you to "oh yeah? prove it!" what do you like about that person, what makes her so interesting?

Wait a second, let me take out my notepad of "i'm going to hit you in the head with a giant blunt object if you ask me again."

Because when this happens, people list the most generic responses that can be labeled to anyone on earth.
"Oh, i like her personality."
"Oh, i like her sense of humor."

Ok great, there's always someone who will admire them for whatever you have listed, but that doesn't cause you to be attracted to them.
Lets say HYPOTHETICALLY, (because i won't) ask you "so, what do you like about your girlfriend?" and you list things like her personality, her smile, her boobs. I can say i like those things about her too, doesn't mean i'm attracted to her.
It's the emotions that you cannot explain that put it together, like a picture connects.

So instead of taking your word for it after you say "oh, i dunno, there's a feeling that i can't describe" and make you "PROVE IT, SON!" people go to extensive lengths to find out the truth behind your emotions like it's somewhere for them to be in the first place.

That's the detective part of the human brain, we try to understand everything even when we know that we're not supposed to understand everything.
A hunger for mystery is always within you, to find the truth, to get to the bottom of it, and to ask questions WHY WHY WHY and WHY?
People are hard to understand, that is why i gave up on trying to understand them many years ago and give them the benefit of the doubt. (<-- some previous post)
It's not a sign that i don't care, because i do, i care about people around me a lot, but it's because i care about you that i don't ask questions that will break certain social boundaries.
1) There's no need for me to know that much.
2) There's no need for me to know anything at all.
3) I assume that you have your priorities under control, and if that's the way you act, as annoying or retarded as it is, i will let you go on that path without trying to interject because that's just who you are.

People ask me "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE SO LAID BACK?" and i like to return with the question "WHY THE HELL DO YOU NEED TO CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING?"
Although in the back of my mind, there's a linger to know everything, there's certainly no reason to know everything. It's not my place to be and knowing won't benefit me in anyway, so why be a drama queen, why be the "detective" that has to have their hands on everything? It doesn't mean i don't care just because i don't need to know.

If your mission in life is to satisfy your hunger for these things, go ahead, and then later, maybe you need to see a shrink, because by the looks of it, you're worrying about other people more than you're worrying about yourself.
This act in itself doesn't mean that you're this awesome person that sacrifices themselves for other people, it means you're stupid.
The first thing that they teach us in lifeguarding is that if the situation looks dangerous, get the fuck out because your life is worth just as much as anyone else's. If you had the choice to either save yours or theirs, you should choose yours.
It's not inhuman, it's the truth, if you don't care about yourself, why live at all?
I'll google maps you to the nearest bridge, do something for the world and jump off of it.
Note: This is only true if you only hunger for useless information, if it's your job as a REAL detective, this doesn't apply to you. (doesn't apply to you and your significant other either)

There's a reason behind everything that people do, even if the person that's doing it doesn't understand it fully. So even if the person that's doing it doesn't understand, why should you?

HakoneDayDreamer, instead of trying to understand others, why not take the time to understand yourself? Unless your goal in life is to know the business of others, then you just need to jump off that bridge...
