A chair with a short leg

Today was an advisory day. A day with an extra class that makes all the other classes shorter than they already were with the late start day.

Advisory class is a happy time for me because I get to see my friend who I hardly see at all anymore because we don't have any more classes together even though we had so many together last year. It's kind of sad but other than that it's okay. Humans make new friends and get on with their lives but I'm sure all my friends will be somehow remembered in the small amount of long term memory that I have.

During advisory, I was sitting at a table in the engineering room with a leg that is short than all the rest. As an allegory, because I'm doing allegories in English class right now, I believe that the chair that is off kilter shows the instability and indecisiveness of the human thought pattern. Sure, we all like to believe that we're stable and in control of our lives but when we look down at the big picture, we really don't know what we are or how we got here. Because although we say that science provides the evidence and religions provide the theories, no one knows for sure because no one is capable of knowing. If someone was the know the secrets of life and the universe, they'd probably drive themselves crazy like all the other people that the seemingly "sane" ones lock up in asylums and mental institutions.

When it all comes down to forget and enjoy, that's what we should do. Ignorant people are happy. Most of the time.
