Intrusion Introduction

I’m the kind of person who thinks about things very deeply. Over the years I came to find that I have very little control over this. Often my periods of thought would involve problems I perceived in my own mind and sometimes involved trying to finally make myself see that the only problem was that of believing that any given thing was even a problem at all. Also I gained the habit of writing down my thoughts and conclusions as a method of finalising and resolving them. These are records of my thought processes from various points in time.
So why now do I want to share these personal things?
There are several reasons.
Firstly, it saddens me to see how so very closed so many people are. It always seemed to me that people would be happier if they dropped their fear of exposing themselves in an emotional and psychological sense. If people could only have more faith in others they could drop their masks and give up this notion that there are only certain parts of ourselves that we should present to others.
Secondly, I like to talk to people about these kinds of subjects to get their perspectives. It’s always nice to hear someone say “Wow, you’re absolutely right!” but it is equally good to have someone smash my view of world to pieces so that it can be replaced by something even better. Whether it’s confirmation or correction, feedback is always great.
Thirdly, I like to write things and have people read them. It gives me a feeling of significance and meaning. A part of me just wants people to understand and agree with me. There, now with that admission Nietzsche’s ghost will not be giving me evils from the netherworld. Okay Freddy? Happy now? Yeah, well of course not...
