Life of Pride
Friday, March 31, 2006
Tired. Very tired. Lonely, but content. How's that for paradoxical? Just finished watching Karate Kid. I like that movie. It made me cry. I think I would like to secede from the world right now and go live in eternity. One scene - Mr. Miyagi, the happy old man, is drunk. We find out that his past has not been so happy. He had a wife whom he loved. When he went away to fight for the U.S. in WWII, she was moved to an internment camp for people of Japanese background. She died from childbirth complications. This reached down to the depths of my soul. I don't have the words to explain what I grasped, and that makes it worse. Loyalty and goodness rewarded by death. Where have we heard that story?

Great comment, Wes. Insightful. You're right - the paradoxes can be humorous, though at the same time they are quite serious. Like yours.
If you're a hermity extrovert, that probably means that you stay in a "dormant" state most of the time. Extroverts draw energy from being near other people. I know I do; if I couldn't go to Borders to write after a day at home working for my parents, I wouldn't get anything done.
