"I've never known completness like being here..."
Yet I've noticed recently that our version of "good" is "I haven't seen better". For some it's a statement of freat significance, while others haven't seen anything yet, so their "good" is everyone else's "i've seen worse". Inexperienced people might also not be able to tell apart "good" and "awseome" or "godlike". And when they finally have enough experience to judge and evaluate, it won't matter anymore.
A world of low standarts, really. It's like Einstein said - all is relative. All evaluation of the world around you depends on your own experience so far. It might at least explain why the opinions change, sometimes as often as every day.
Knowing all this, it's difficult to trust my own judgement. I know I like something just because I haven't seen better, so I automatically un-like it (the "un-like" comes from facebook, don't blame me, blame the society that created me). However, the pleasant thing is that there are, in fact, no limits for what is the best. But...we can never really know (ToK also says so!), what's good or what's bad. There can only be "good enough" or "too bad".
Notice how there're "oo" in both statements? That must mean something.
Remember from now on - only your opinion should matter to you. Well...in most cases. I sometimes get very angry, if your opinion seems too important to you, especially when it's all wrong (not the same as mine, that is).

Comments:
all you say here is true. and I had never exactly thought about it!
but I don't know what's wrong with that. I mean, if everything just gets better and better, and still, at any given moment, is good ENOUGH.. it should be fine.
the only bad thing I really see here is that once you're done with something good, you can never go back to worse. whatever the thing evaluated is. nothing is ever good enough again, unless it's.. better. or at least as good as when you last checked. and so, there are less and less things you're ok with.

Exactly that. As soon as you know "better", "good" is not an option anymore. Also, after some time, what you thought was "good enough" will stop being good enough, because you will acknowledge existence of something better, therefore you'll never be able to find your peace for long. |
