Yesterday we talked a lot about dichotomies, and whether or not we felt the need to draw lines.  Some people felt like these lines were necessary, that decisions had to be made to make terms and concepts credible.  My problem with this is, even if in the moment, we can make some kind of line, how useful will that be?  I think it's like observations being true up until this point- these lines may be true, up until this point, but tomorrow, they may be false.  Is it worth it to spend so much time searching for lines to be drawn that can just as easily, with just one exception, be proven false, or should would be looking for things we can rule out, things we can say are already false, so we can make progress through observations that, once proven false, will always have that falseness to it?

 Another thing I was thinking about, was with therapy, there is often such a stigma associated with going for help.  I started to wonder how necessary therapy actually is- maybe (and I'm sure it is) an idealistic approach to think that maybe, everybody, with all of our problems and issues, is like a puzzle- maybe, we can help ourselves by helping others, just talking and trying to understand the other person can maybe help us reflect on our own troubles, and knowing that they will do the same in return- maybe that's all that is really needed, at the base of this idealistic world. Maybe the need for therapy and drugs and whatever else is what happens because we can't create, or act out this kind of altruistic world.
