I've figured out what really triggered my lame 'Holden attack'. Y'know, the general 'the world is rotten' disposition.
It's the attack on the Freedom Flotilla and that particular discussion with that particular person, who is no longer an acquaintance of mine.
Really now. I shan't worry my silly little head and try to 'reason' with a person who sees only 'reason', when in fact all that, that person is, is 'blind'.
Because I care.
Thus I try.
And when I fail?
It hurts me.
Thus the mini Holden episode. I try my best to not be pretentious but I'm beginning to feel I may have mistaken 'vulnerability' or, say, 'eagerness' with it.
I'm also beginning to feel that it is not good to be too 'reasonable' because in pursuit of 'objectivity', a degree of 'detachment' which ultimately leads to one becoming 'ineffectual'.
WHICH, ironically, renders the said 'reasonable' person into becoming absolutely, utterly, 'UNreasonable'. Because when you forfeit humanity (which constitutes of feelings of empathy), then all that's left of you is...nothing. A shell.
