We Don't Always Get The Answer We Want

 There are days where we ask a question. It might be to a parent, or sibling, or even God. We ask this question in good faith hoping to receive an answer. Usually, we have an answer in mind that is appropriate for the question asked. Sometimes we do not receive that answer but are astonished to hear a completely different answer than the one we were expecting.

As a result, we might become discouraged. Did we perhaps not ask the right question? Is it possible the hearer misheard the question. We make up all sorts of explanations in our heads as to why we didn't get the answer we most desired.

No, they didn't hear the question wrong. In fact, they heard you loud and clear. It is you who have misread the room and to whom you were asking the question. It is the only logical answer that I can come up with at this point in time.

So, we have two choices. We can either run with the answer given or complain and seek yet another answer. Well, what happens if you seek another answer and you still don't agree with it? What then? It makes you wonder at times doesn't it.

Maybe it's best to run with the answer you received in the first place, see where that takes you.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Babylon 5 Destruction

 I always get emotional watching the last episode of Babylon 5. Especially the destruction of the station. There are so many good memories of the series that it's just emotional watching JMS flipping the switch and the station exploding as the last transport leaves. It's like oh the series is really over. The station has served its purpose not needed anymore. Was peace ever really achieved though? It makes me wonder. I've only watched the series once all the way through, I'm on a second rewatch. One of my favorite characters is Mr. Morden. I'm not sure why that's the case, he's creepy as all get out. I just know that he intrigues me for some reason or another. Kosh is also a mystery, but he's meant to be that way. He's an alien that no one seems to understand or grasp. The whole story arc is simply amazing. It was television ahead of its time. I'm glad it was made. Talk about a brilliant television series. It was one of the first serialized shows...
