The life you want is never as interesting as the life you lead

The life you want is never as interesting as the life you lead. The life you want is paper flat: 2 dimensional wishes for prosperity, a fiction of the future. It's been said a thousand times that fact is stranger than fiction. Because fiction requires that we understand it. It must be scaled down to fit in our heads. Fact is not restricted by the size of our understanding. It spreads out and defies the human mind to comprehend it. And still we haven't. We've looked at it through magnifying glasses and from outer space but still the intricacies escape us. The big bits too: like how to get along, and how gravity? But here and now in this magical world we do things that we can not understand for reasons we can't comprehend. The consequences will bounce down the halls of the future changing lives, perhaps even after the doer is dead and gone. The present isn't two dimensional, three dimensional or even four dimensional; for we hold multitudes of dimensions within us. Each feeling and thought colours our world and changes the way gravity works and the feeling of the grass. Reality is magical and fantasy is mundane.
