i've had a recurrant thought in my head over the past few days. it started off as - 'the human experience is relative'.

and as i thought about it and debated within, it has finally emerged as thus- 'the human experience is relative to itself, extremes not withstanding'.

a lovely thesis statement, albeit its for a question that was never asked.

meaning. if you're born somewhere without like aircon and all that, you'll consider the humid nights normal, whereas if you were used to an airconditioned sleep, you'd consider it very uncomfortable. there. relative to itself. extremes not withstanding... well... i dont care what you're used to, if i chop your balls off, its just going to hurt just as much as the next guy. there. disregarding extremes.

i'm very pleased with myself. .
