A Single Faithfulness

Our mind runs on contradiction:

I will agree to disagree

Perhaps not

Pause not

But as explained in line 399,” something can be true and untrue at the same time.” This antithetical statement explains how it’s all a matter of ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. Take it as hand eye coordination for example. My dad lacks this sixth sense, therefore, when it comes to driving and changing the song on the radio, you can hear my mother’s scream all the way from the other side of the road. Reading and writing forces you to do the exact same thing. While close reading The Tempest, I have to focus on Prospero’s tone when it comes to his brother, while at the same decoding the island. It’s almost as if you had a multiple choice for interpreting.

a)      There’s something in charge and I wanna get straight with it.

b)      There’s something in charge and it means me no good and I wanna get the fuck out of here.

c)      There’s nothing and everything going on.

I don’t know about you, but when reading for example an essay, I choose option C . When it doubt think about the “essayist’s gesture of striking out toward the unknown, not only without a map, but without certainty that there is anything worthy to be found.” As a reader be open minded! When it doubt, we are alive! We tend to create our own little reality that makes us see what we want  to see and experience what we want to feel. This is why a real story isn’t exactly the official story, but rather my version of the official story.
