An Ode to the Interesting Minds

I find myself most interested in people that I see as different, or operating outside the bounds of normal society, or maybe operating inside the bounds of society with some level of hesitance. The people who realise on some level the structure of their world and exist eccentrically. Out of center, literally. It is because these people both simultaneously realise their world, though they might realise themselves, but they still understand that their place is not in it. I know this is kind of esoteric writing, but it is something that ex-sists.

I get bored easily. There is no getting around that fact. I also have a bad habit of not being able to turn off my analysis of things. Even when I am doing something that requires little thought, I must think. I watch TV and look for patterns, motifs etc. I appreciate all the qualities, but I want to know why. That is my favourite question, why? It is all a search for knowledge. It is a realisation that in the self, there is no some unlimited source of knowledge, intellect maybe, but for knowledge you must go out. Meet new people, and it is from these interaction that you actually learn things, that you talk about the things that matter and unfortunately these are the things which never get conversation. I believe, though I may be wrong, that Socrates said that he studied people because that's where all knowledge came from. Interesting idea isn't it? Echoes the sentiments that we have about language, or at least I do..as well as history, as a chain of shifting relationships and it is from this shifting relationships that we gain meaning. With this idea is the same with people. In our shifting relationships we learn something. Each in ourselves meaning little if anything, but it is when we are tossed in a relationships, a chain, we gain meaning. I know this sounds so odd and I apologize.
