Entropy, it's a bitch. All doors lead to loss, that's just the reality of things. The more you care about, the more you are putting yourself out there to get hurt. But the more you shutter yourself away from emotion, the more isolated and lonely you become. Which hurt is better? The one that comes on the coattails of great joy or the one that is a constant and ever present weight, perhaps less acute, but none the less dark. Sing me up for the joy/coattails
I'm always subscribed to Entropy Knows Best (future Dadstache Recs release)... Greater risk, greater reward. I'm not a betting man but I think at this point I would go for the coattails over the alternative though I'm not sure how many people aren't doing so for reasons other than being afraid. This is also coming from someone who saw American Beauty for the first time last night, and aside from being annoyed for a lot of the movie saw a lot of characters who, despite their outward ambitions and appearances and ideals, only seemed to be looking for some sort of love. I think that can be the case of many people, even those that shy away from emotion.
I like Belle and Sebastians album title, "The Life Pursuit" -I think it's all about "love"I think that can be the case of many people, even those that shy away from emotion.
-I'd say "most" people, not "many".
