inside

what is there inside a person?
what’s there inside me?
is it tangible? is it understandable? is it logical?
they say, the human mind is at best, incomprehendable. is it really? what gets me is how similar we all are, how you can almost predict to a T what each one of us going to do.. save a few minor details..
is that all there is to it then? minor details? little deviations to a largely established codebase?
then what really lies inside us? the answer eludes me…
He killed the noble Mudjokivis.
Of the skin he made him mittens,
Made them with the fur side inside,
Made them with the skin side outside.
he, to get the warm side inside,
put the inside skin side outside.
he, to get the cold side outside,
put the warm side fur side inside.
that’s why he put the fur side inside,
why he put the skin side outside,
why he turned them inside outside.
– george a. strong (the modern haiwatha)
so, the bottom line is that on the inside is the outside and on the outside is the inside. “why” is besides the point.
dont agree. no such thing as universalism when it comes to behavior. how we all act depends on our past experiences and how and what we have learned over the years. only if u understand all these variables for a person can u predict their behavior. the minor details makes all the difference. it is the minor detials that make me me and you, you.
