I use to have a tendency to look at the world as a way of extracting meaning.

Thinking that if I just had enough of all raw materials I would be able to form a functioning theory.

Some of the materials I held to be the most valuable were simply because they came from someone who was considered an authority at that time.

I wish I would have known that life isn’t about developing a theory so that it can be proved right or wrong.

Thinking that once it was proved right that I would finally be proved right.

It’s about noticing things and finding starting points.
