Feeling philosophical
Mar. 15th, 2004 01:39 pmRandom thoughts ahead- no particular conclusions, so feel free to draw your own...
It always irks me that good things seem so transitory. I mean, on occasions, I've had a really nice meal, but my enjoyment is tempered with the knowledge that in a few hours time, I'll be hungry again.
I think it's probably a perception thing though that makes it seems like it just affects the good things. Perhaps we remember the good things more distinctly, because of their positive associations, and therefore we forget that the bad things are also generally equally short-lived.
Either that, or the universe really does suck.
Ah well, as I said, no conclusions, just thoughts- enjoy!
