There are times, especially as I get older, that I feel like a "stranger in a strange land", borrowing from Robert Heinlein's novel of the same name.
Like his character, Valentine Michael Smith, there are days when I just cannot "grok" it all.
While I deplore Heinlein's soapbox for polyamory and his overt misogynist attitude, he had a point about us strange humans and some of our peculiarities. Nothing too deep here today, I promise. lol
Are you a morning person? Well, I am, and seem to honestly be the only one I know of as far as my family and friends, with the possible exception of a buddy in Cali. Like here I am awake and no one to yap at. Doggone!
Also heard from two friends (both mature and responsible adults) who are staying in lousy relationships (their assessment, not mine) because "the sex is so good". Give me a break! In my view, there never has been nor will be any physical intimacy worth tolerating what you say that you do. Really. Have to wonder if this is less about sex and more about their fear of the unknown.
Someimes a known evil or negative is more preferable to some people than the threat or challenge of the unknown. Hmmm That could explain how some nincompoops keep getting reelected. Ahem!
Just silly junk like this rolling around in my muddled ole brain this morning. Think I need a coffee refill bad!
What is on your mind today?
Early riser!?!? Used to be, but not any more! Maybe as the weather warms, I may get uo earlier!
ReplyDeleteLove your reference to Stranger in a Strange Land!! Great Book! Heinlein was so brilliant and creative. He and Isaac Asimov and Arthur C.Clark are the gods of Science Fiction!
Yes, the comfort of certainty often keeps people stuck in uncomfotable lives! 'The Greatest Risk is Never Taking One'
