There's no point in getting too happy anymore, because every now and then there'll always be someone or something to get you down again.  Sure it can work the other way around but I think it's worth more effort.  I wouldn't want to tire myself so that I could fulfill my needs. 

I miss my friends.  Quite.  Sure the way I've been acting recently is pretty much "it's got to be my way", I've not had the chance to think about others since my aim this year is to get into uni. 

From today's moments of nothingness, I managed to arrive to the conclusion that not everything can be approached rationally, there are things you can't quite comprehend and still you know that's exactly what it's like.  For some people, it's hard to come up with another way around solving a problem, they've been so used to rationalism it's hard to change that. 

My theory, is that reason and belief are two different paths in reaching the truth.  Via logical steps one can reach there eventually just through thinking.  Alternatively, why so much effort when people can just believe each other and get on with it?  Answer - people lie.  If such a thing hadn't been invented then the two routes to truth would have merged, the thing is, it hasn't happened and it isn't happening.  Carry on hoping, from what I can see now, it won't come. 

I leave you with this:

"We do not speak of faith that two and two are four...  We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence.  The substitution of emotion for evidence is apt to lead to strife, since different groups substitue different emotions."

Bertrand Russel, 1958
