nothing becomes real until it is experienced
the world of psychology, sigmund freud proposed his idea that when a tree falls and no one sees it or hears it, no sound is made. no sound is made.

how absurd.

can you believe it? this can be made logical and have generations of varsity students brooding over the ridiculous state of perception. the abstract idea explains that there is nothing happening when there is no experience incurred to anyone. can you imagine the magnitude of this theory? it is no longer the tree, it is everything it can possibly be.

i am just enthralled by its universality.

when a promise is made, can it ever be broken? no. before you scream with hysteria, listen to me; making a promise means that there is a possibility of fulfilment, an anticipation of its realisation. it is a hope that the promise will be made true tomorrow. and the next tomorrow. and then the next, then next, the following next and the next after next. how can you break a promise when there will always be a possibility of it being realised? you can't. in the same way, nothing can be real unless you experience it in real terms. isn't this beautiful?

let me decipher the word love, of which is something that has not been deciphered and understood (ironic, yes i know): the foundation of love is based on promises that two people make to each other. promises of forever, promises of trust, promises of unconditional love. there is this hope and perhaps, faith that these promises will be fulfilled. regardless of the time taken and the peril that comes with it, these promises would find its way of bringing hope and much commitment. people hold on to the possibility and the hope of seeing it being realised. some relationships really survive on this idea alone.

if you can see what i see, you'll definitely feel a mixture of poignancy and brimming delight. poignant because the person who promised to give you $10 would never be able to break his promise because he cannot; delighted because it would mean that there is hope. delighted because there is something to look forward to in the future, no matter how near or distant.

but of course (THIS IS A DISCLAIMER), don't go around making empty promises with this theory in mind. not only will you not prove me wrong, you'll get a few bloody attacks faster than you say 'this i promise you'. promises are sacred, like how Jesus promised that He'll be here again; the promise by which so many christians hold so tightly to, in hope of its realisation. i can so totally write a book on this, can't i?

surprising how jeremy's tutorial can bring so much enlightenment
