Daily Comment

I am feeling a little sheepish about this week's Daily Comments so far.

They have been very current-events type things, instead of my usual "current thoughts" style, where I take whatever is rattling around in my head at the moment, and build that days comment around it, only occasionally referencing what 'current' (now past) event might have inspired that thought.

Because of this deviation, I look back on my posts and see self-contradictions, as changes in my thinking change my take on a particular event.

It is a product of referencing the past - when it is the near past, the narrative we all use to build our history (a chronological story we make up as we go along to describe our perceptions) changes. Because even the immediate creation of the story is already describing something historical, and as we gain context by building on that history, the history itself changes.

Over time, the narrative continues, and things remembered from the past change further to support the current, later narrative as it's being spun.

Inner relativity. And the reason why I don't assume that the way I remember things is the way they happened.

I make up my reality as I go along.

Then move on.
