Words in Ripples...

...a destiny of streams, a reality of rivers, a hope for oceans, but a vision of seas...

Just A Thought...

So, in an earlier post I talked about a "thing under your skin" that's been able to control even your very thought process...I got another question in reference to that 'thing'.
Hypothetically of course, what if you've left this thing to the other consumers that fancied it prior, you made up in your mind that you needed to focus on the other things in your basket and make moves. While you're going along, takin care of your basket, there is another 'thing' that catches your attention. See at first, it doesn't seem like much, in comparison to the former things you dreamed of it doesn't seem that major, and on the surface it doesn't seem like it would properly blend in with the rest of the basket...don't worry, you gonna get it in a minute...You decide to give this thing a try anyway and as you continue on your way you realize that the weight of the basket begins to lighten up and you're able to now go after other things because now you are able to handle more load. Happy and confident that you can conquer anything and that you can have whatever it is you set your eye on you begin to take bigger strides because for some reason, that insignificant 'thing' seems to be helpin to lighten the load. Along the way you cut a corner and see someone pickin up that 1st thing you set back on the shelf.This new consumer doesn't seem like yall have anything in common, matter of fact he doesn't even look like someone that is even worthy of having your 'thing', especially since you couldn't manage it before, but from where you are it seems to all fit together in their basket and now we find ourselves PISSED and BRUISED all over again, well...
Why then, if we have a new 'thing' that has helped along the way, do we long for that one 'thing' that seemed to make your load unbearable? You begin to subtly DENY this burden-bearer, treat it any ol' kinda way, even throw other useless things on top of it all because the former thing used to be the prettiest bow on your basket and now it adorns someone else's. Remember the rivers, remember the streams? Why is it that the weight you used to feel has become eradicated, erased by the prospect of 'a second/third chance'. OH, but let that new thing not lay the way you want it to in your basket just once and there's the thought of 'WHY DA HELL DID I EVEN PICK THIS THING UP?!?!?'? You forget that just a lil while ago you felt like you could beat the world, forget that you were actually motivatin and goin somewhere with your head held up...
Does there ever come a time that you will be able to totally move away from the former and not want to pick it up again or will the memories etched on the brain forever hold you captive to the rivers and the weights? What intensity is needed in a 'new thing' to super-impose the image of the former?
