Instability

At first I thought it was about choice

To have an objective perspective would mean not having to choose, not having to wonder if your particular perspective is true or if you’re missing out on a better perspective and severely limiting yourself. With objectivity, you don’t have to worry about the subjectivity of your perspective, of whether your point of view is being influenced by your mood or general state of mind… by your instability.

But maybe it’s more about stability

I seem to change so frequently, and it bothers me. Maybe this whole objective perspective thing is my desire for a personal reality that doesn’t change so often. I constantly lose and regain interests (which makes it difficult to get rid of things because I never know when I might be interested in them again. Now I’m rethinking minimalism…) and my moods aren’t any better.

Sometimes I wonder who I really am. Is there some part of me that remains constant and stable, that is immutable? Or am I just this–a frequent and neverending cycle of deaths and rebirths?

Who am I?

Now reread this blog post. Take a shot everytime you read “perspective.”
