labyrinth (360)

our minds are like labyrinths.
endless thinking in circles... one crazy ass maze.

imagine a huge hall, like an art exhibit where pictures are hung on the walls.
one can only hang so many pictures given the wall-space.
however, if you create a maze, adding dividers and thin walls to create many winding paths and corridors, you would be able to hang so many more paintings.
this creates an enormous amount of wall-space, enough to hang tons of pictures and memories.
but finding things would be very difficult, compared to the one big empty gallery where you can easily go through all the paintings by just standing in the middle of the hall and turning 360 degrees.

if you take a look at the human brain, you can probably see which kinda' hall it resembles.


envy people who don't think so much...
could it be that their art galleries are much less complicated?

wonder what it would be like if our minds were just one big spacious room.
no winding walls and narrow corridors.

perhaps we couldn't have as many memories or acquire as much knowledge in our lifetimes, but at least going through everyday decisions in life and locating things wouldn't be so difficult.



on a side note, the number 360 also has a separate significance.
in 5 more days, i aim to start a new chapter in my life.

and since we are in the labyrinth context, i think the past few days have been good in the sense that i now have a clearer perspective on everything?
i believe that most of the time, the way to find the solution to the maze is to simply stop, take a backseat, and think it through.
there's really no point running frantically in all directions hoping to find the exit.

so yep... i'll find my solution soon.


oh boy you ought to leave this town
get out while you can, the meter's running down
the voices in the streets you love
everything is better when you hear that sound
