Potential and Equilibrium, Kinetics and Rate

I was thinking about energy today, because of a project that I work on.  And thinking about these there are two other concepts that tie the two together, that is kinetics and rate.  Of course rate is covered under kinetics, but the two aren't necessarily the same.  So here is the mental process.

In life many of us have potential, that is the ability to become something, usually great, or above normal. However our ability to achieve that potential is limited by the kinetics of our existence. These kinetics are to oversimplify all of the shit that we have to deal with, such as school, work, significant others, supervisors and random people that mess up our sense of equilibrium.  Equilibrium, being a steady continuous state where we balance the effects of all of the outside factors on our sense of life.

We can achieve potential, which is also a steady state, but it all depends on the kinetic factors that mess with us.

On keeping in touch

As we grow up we find new people and friends, and some times forget to remember those we had good times with.  And of course as we grow up we also find new people that we can do these things with.  The beautiful thing that I have realized is that, as I look back on the folks that i spent my formative years with, i cannot help but feel good about the path that i have lead thus far.  That is cool.

Sadness

I spoke to two people in the last 24 hours and they both have different approaches to God.  One was sad, always sad and disappointed about life, and the weather on the road that she traveled.  She lived in a constant state of grief.  Grief about being alone, about loosing her parents when she was young, and grief about always being in hardship.

The other lived in a state of contentment, or understanding.  Understanding that makes life's disappointing seem to be natural.  One where chaos is equal to 1.  One who understands that every thing is not perfect, and that laughing at life's irony is well, required.

But then i took time to think about the former, that when life has provided her with such messed up weather, there is nothing to smile about.  There is nothing to laugh at.  One who dreams, where happiness occurs in dreams.  And sadness and worry occurs in dreams.  And life is but a big sob fest. One where life is depressing. One where life is uncool.

Dense.  The things tragedy's are made of.  Art imitating life.  Life being harder than life.  Crazy.  True. An independent film.
