Stream of questions

I was poking around my notes and found this. I wrote it awhile ago. Even though I figured out what it was about, I love how universal yet personal the questions are. This could be about anything. 

---

Just a stream of consciousness question fest. I am due for one. That old adage "raises more questions than answers" is an expansive thing to explore. I'm just not even gonna fuck with answers. All questions. No answers. Stewing in unknowingness. Swimming in confusion. Not clarifying anything, but paradoxically finding some peace. 

Have I considered the other point of view? How does that other point of view make me feel? If it's negative, why? Is it progression or regression? Am I seeing the expanse of "other" or just my consideration of some facet of it that sits most comfortably with me?

Am I allowing other people's opinions and biases and judgements interfere with what I am settling best with as truth?

Am I allowing that uncertainty to distract me from searching for further and deeper truths?

Will I know it when I find it?

Am I okay with feeling uncomfortable with an opinion different than mine? What if that opinion is less-informed than mine? What if the person expressing the opinion is coming from a place of defense of long-held beliefs? What if that person is sick and doesn't know better? What if I do know better? What if I don't? Does that make my opinion invalid?

What about passion? Why the fuck am I so amped about all of this, anyway? Does it feel like it's some sort of precipice we're edged onto and I feel connected to it somehow? Am I bored? Do I need to busy myself? Do I need to feel useful and informative?

Is it the future I'm scared of? Have I gone full armageddon with this scenario, fearing a complete and total wipe-out of this country? I do tend to think in extremes, don't I?

So if there's a middle ground for me, where is it? And is a middle ground even necessary? Do I need this fire? Is it serving some purpose? Is it helping me, or anyone? Can I balance it, and have I been?

Can I not be swept up in the distraction? Can I focus on the importance of what's happening and not be taken off on a whim by other, already disproven, stories? Do I need to crusade to correct every misrepresentation of truth I encounter? Is that my job or responsibility?

Is it possible to look at this from a human perspective or an energetic perspective? Does this need to happen? Is it a tipping point that I'm witnessing and that's why I'm worked up? 

Do I need to wrap this stream up in a neat little bow?
