cartoon blog day 39: Writing is thinking

People need to write, because writing is a form of thinking. 

First of all because it forces you to make sense, writing allows you to organize your thoughts. As I do it more and more I am also realizing that I can find the contradictions in my reasoning. 

I started writing this blog with cartoons because I have a lot of things to say. As different my ideas are from each other, they seem to coexist without collapsing and without me ending in an asylum (Do they still call it like that?).

So writing allows me to connect these ideas. I don’t even know if I should say I am lost or I was lost when it came time to decide who I am going TO BE, things I am going TO DO. Then I put all the things I do for no good reason other than to express myself. 

I will share the diagram I came up with the next time. 

Bonne journée. 

Cartoon blog day 27: Motivatonal quotes

20181111-cbd27-follow-your-dreams.jpg

Why don’t I like motivational quotes when I myself cite quotes from artists and philosophers?

In my opinion, the road to knowledge, wisdom and ultimately meaning is a difficult one.

Although the intention of a naive motivational quote may be well placed, it removes the mystery, and most importantly it removes the process.

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, if you are purely result oriented you may be a suitable candidate in a corporate environment. But the laws of the universe in which we live are more blurred and are not as clear as the borders of a spreadsheet.

So I should fall in the post-modern thought process of : there is no one way to interpret life events therefore there is no one meaning I should strive for?

There are differences between meaning and results just like there are differences between vision and objectives.

“Do something you love, so that you can be someone everybody admires” – Me.

Confusing isn’t it? Yes, be confused, confusion should lead to curiosity to find your WHY.

Then you won’t look for guidance in motivational quotes for which you don’t know the origin, but you will look for guidance in people. I don’t mind quoting Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson because I know the quote comes from him and I know he works hard even though he is not an artist nor a philosopher.

Bonne journée.
