"Sunday too far away..."

deathpixieAh, Sunday evening. Time to curl up in the beanbag with the computer on my lap, drink a cup of caramel tea and enjoy the lst of my weekend. Not an overly productive one - not in the practical sense, any way - but I have been writing, and talking to people, and burning CDs and went out for dinner with my dad. All good stuff.
It's been a thinking kind of weekend. Lots of questions, lots of answers, lots of thoughts. Memories. In a good way, mostly, although some of the memories are sad, or wistful. Wishing for things beyond my reach. But in all, I'm feeling good. Better. Quieter.
***
I don't understand this thinking in absolutes. Good vs Evil. Right vs. Wrong. There's always another viewpoint, another perspective, another reason for why something happens. And in a way, thinking in absolutes limits us, over-simplifies the world. Turns it into one of those child drawings, all one-dimensional and flat. Stops us from thinking, stops us from feeling. Stops us from seeing the answers, and also the problem.
I never want to be limited like that.
