How is it that I’ve reimprinted myself to skim over the intended meaning of a statement and see right through to its potential?

I no longer take anything at face value, I’m always digging for a deeper meaning; I want to break functional fixedness and exploit new ways of using old tools.

Ideally this is a gift worth using, but mostly it just gets me into trouble. When someone tells me a law, I test every case for potential to work around the law.

For once I want to be sucked in and go with the flow. I don’t want to feel like I’m on the outside looking in; I want to glide through the middle of the stream.

Tomorrow I’ll write a post about the dangers of getting sucked it, but for now I just want to feel the power of society; I want to feel the camaraderie of equally ignorant swimmers.

So how’m I doing?
