live && let live.

I never really understood the points of symbolism.  A teacher asks you to connect story lines and yet how is there only one right answer?  There's not.  There can be so many different types of answers for one sentence that it may just make your brain hurt too much.  Something can have so many meanings and yet people can never see the logic in that.  How is one person supposed to know what the author was thinking when he/she wrote that passage?  I doubt they were inside their head or sitting at their side, asking questions.  So in truth, can't the answer be whatever we want it to be?  I think so.

So can't that be applied to almost everything?  There's no right and wrong answer to every question or event that occurs throughout every second of everyday of life.  That would be impossible to record.  And what about small, miniscule things as opposed to gigantic, colossal happenings?  Shouldn't the small matter as much as the big?

I think people take the unimportant things in life into too much consideration.  They worry about specifics when they should really be focusing on the "bigger picture," as we say it.  Letting stress, nerves, and fear overpower what clear judgement they have instilled in their minds from the very start of humanity itself.  Free thinkers get diminished to being told what to do.  Everything is controlled.  It's careful and painstaking and vigilant.  Nothing is ever the same anymore once it leaks out into the public eye.  It was once a well-kept secret before someone spilled to a dishonest carrier.  And now it's everywhere.

Then what happens?  It becomes the biggest thing since sliced bread and then gradually, people start to forgive and forget.  It eases away, back into obscurity with much less fire power than it came in with.  And that's what the bad thing is.  Exposure weakens something so vast.  Isn't that true?  That's what I've come to believe.
