My view of the world and people are certainly changing as I grow older and apparently become invisible with age. People pay no attention to me what so ever and I realize that I like it. I don’t have to worry about how I look and when I don’t wear glasses I don’t see all my wrinkles even though those with good eye sight do and I realize if I don’t mind then it doesn’t matter, how liberating and empowering. I sort of like feeling invisible because I can now get away with so much more without people noticing, no nothing criminal just things like going without makeup and wearing whatever I darn well please and being comfortable.
Latin “Cogito, ergo sum”or “I think, therefore I am” is attributed to Descartes, Principles Of Philosophy which I have been reading lately or French “Je pense, donc je suis” (“I think, therefore I am”), in Discourse on the Method. Lately I don’t even know how to think so I’m beginning to doubt that I actually exist. I wish I had used my mind to learn more when I was young. People like to pretend homeless people are invisible also, we do see what we want to see. They aren’t invisible to me and I’m seeing way too many lately, it’s heartbreaking.
Recently on some site somewhere I entered my url and got graded, the grade was good, but not something I would post. It also decided that I write so secondary and high schoolers can understand. I didn’t take offence because I’ve never seen the point of trying to talk over someones head. I know many people that try to show how intelligent that are by throwing around technical terms and large words that lay people simple don’t understand, what’s the point? Sure they may learn a new word, but will they ever use it in their conversation?
I have no clue what I’m rambling about so I think I’ll go heat up some of the Spanish rice and beans I made last night, which was very good actually for my first time. I even bought new seasonings that I’ve never used before like, recaito, sazon, and sofrito. I’m glad they have the Goya brand in our grocery store. Bill said it was good and I believe him of course I’m sure it didn’t taste the same as the rice and beans he had years ago that a Spanish family made, but I liked it and now I’m going to pull my invisible act for awhile.
