Saturday slide through life
"There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking."
Of course Emil knows all about this
Again, another truth about my existence. When I was a child, I was quite gullible, until when I learned in high school that believing everything only put me at a disadvantage. Then I stopped believing in anything, at least in what my senses could not really perceive. For some time, I was experiencing without really 'processing' so to speak. I didn't want to have any particular creed or convictions; it would keep me out of trouble.
Of course everyone now knows what happened when I turned nineteen: I got into debate, Yvette and Laurie tried to knock some sense into me, I ended up befriending Darren, Wena, Ron, Lila, Maan, and Vic, and I met Marce. All of them got me into thinking, saying I could do better with my brains than to simply carry them about. One might say that was the end of my peaceful life as I knew it. But I don't regret it, not at all. I like to think that in a way, I did finally stop becoming a Neanderthal and moved towards being Homo sapiens in that year.
