My dear,
Sometimes I get to pondering, about art and science. And about why one is so admired over the other.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I come across this brief insight that art is loved over science because science is truth, and art is everything but.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I realize that people very much don’t like the truth, that there is only one truth, and many lies, and that people who don’t like the truth seek the lies.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I realize that the only truth is facts, proven facts, and that all else is just there to confuse us.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I realize that the truth is boring, because it’s old and unchanging, and that we hate boring.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I realize that most people don’t understand the truth, but they say they do.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I realize that most people speak with authority on subjects they don’t understand saying they know anything and everything, and truly believing their own lies.
Sometimes I get to pondering, and I realize that… that…
What you don’t understand you can make mean anything.
Do you understand me?
Falsely yours,
Charles Michael “Chuck” Palahniuk
