Obsession With A Dream
Let me preface this with the knowledge that left without a designated itinerary of things to do throughout the day, I can spend hours upon hours creating fantasies, scenarios and endless stories in my head using the people and places I know and people and places I have yet to discover.
What causes you to be attracted to someone? Frequently what I've dreamed or thought about someone has made me look twice at people who have already shown themselves to be someone I would rather not associate myself with. The perceptions of society as a whole place upon people a way of categorizing them which can attract or detract from their attractiveness. How often have you liked someone only to hear that your friend doesn't think much of them and suddenly the luster is gone from your eyes? How often have you thought someone unimaginative and arrogant only to find them attractive through someone else's eyes? How often have you fallen in love with an actor and the character they play, when seeing these actors through the eyes of the writer or other characters on stage?
Maybe it's not very "P.C." to admit I have been influence by this but what are we if not society's creatures. How are we to function without the influences of those around us to guide us in what is wrong and right?
It is the blind following which we have to to be aware of and steer away from. It is the lack of questioning knowledge in our personalities as adults which we need to be wary of. It this the reason then that children are considered the smartest of us all? For those of you in Animal Farm: The Young Animal?
And on that note: Go See Animal Farm - No Questions! Just do it.
