It's Wednesday, and I'm in Devon...

Okay, not quite as catchy as some titles, but hey look at the material I have to work with here...

Didn't sleep well last night- still feeling fairly shitty. Still got some good thinking in, as always. Not about anything of note, just generic thinking on reality, perception, the usual sort of thing.

So, today's thoughtful bit:

I sometimes despair of the human race- every day I see people not thinking about anyone other than themselves, or just not thinking. I mean, if people just took a little time to think about the effect their actions, then surely the world would be a better place.

But the prevelant attitude seems to be, "Well, it benefits me, so it's okay".

*sigh*

I didn't expect you to agree with that statement, but I would argue, solely based on the goths I know of course, that they embrace the "darkness" to tame it, to come to terms with it if you like. If you revel in something,understand it, and feel you can harness it's power, then it hurts you less. I don't think I know a single Goth who's a "dark" person in the sense of being doomed or even out-of-control, though some may like to think they are. Of course, there may well exist such a Goth, but I would argue that they are using the trappings and mechanisms of Goth as therapy, rather than to reinforce their sad situation.
