very predictable, very logical

you make your poor friend
have to listen to you tell them
over and over again
how it makes no sense
what those idiots are doing.

to your surprise,
why those people
do those things
is really quite obvious.

the only reason you can’t see it
is because
you take everything so
personally.

if you didn’t, 
there’s not much 
to figure out.

the way confusion
actually confuses itself is
by being very logical,
very predictable.

it’s not some special way of 
seeing things you need to learn
to understand those people.

it’s what happens to
how you see things
when you don’t take things so
personally.

automatically,
you lighten up,
your logic has room to
breathe

if only your not taking things so
personally 
was something you could learn
to do.

usually, it takes
a lot of sitting and a lot of
being confused about
what the books are
telling you.

probably, you need to 
feel wretched enough
to not take things so
personally.

that’s when it all
gets to be almost too
obvious.
