Khrystism #766: logic and reality (WIP)

Most of my Khrystisms have been developed over many years, but this is a new one. I'm not too sure about it yet, so we'll see...

We can justify anything. Which is to say, we can convince ourselves of the truth or righteousness of any situation or choice or outcome, using logic and rhetoric. But, because we can do that with anything and to any end we convince ourselves is the right one, none of those justifications are real. Only the thoughts that we *can't* logic ourselves out of or away from are real... only our instincts and feelings are real. I don't mean emotions, though I think they are higher on the reality scale than logic. I'm talking about that gut feeling of what you know is TRUE.

One of the most prevalent examples of this, of course, is love. You can't logic love: you can't explain it, you can't justify it, you can't make it go away. (You can try, but it's either there or it isn't.) To quote one of my favorite movies: "LOVE is REAL and it is TERRIFYING"

It might not make any sense, and it might go against whatever logic you attempt to apply to the situation, but you cannot deny love. Because love is real, and logic is not. And LOVE is all that matters.

THIS is my new Favorite Thing Ever.

YOU have the Right to Repair.

Khrystism #563: Happily ever after = perfection.

At first you might read this statement and think, "Aww... how romantic."

But let me explain...

Happily ever after = perfection in that both are theoretical concepts that are chronically misconstrued in our cultural lexicon of practically-applicable concepts. The statement "happily ever after = perfection" for most people conjures thoughts of some theoretical dream state of pinnacled contentment and bliss. In reality, this statement only becomes possible when the entirety of each concept is both realized and accepted. That is, when you are able to include all of the nuances - all possible permutations - in your understanding of the concept. When you realize that "happily ever after" doesn't exist without work and strife and frustration in addition to the bliss and elation and contentment. That perfection, in practice, necessarily encompasses all the inherent "faults" of a thing and that, in fact, without the faults it is no longer "perfect".

Perfection, as a geometrical concept, implies precise balance.
