I've been thinking about trauma - how it's repetitive, and how we recreate it, and how memory is fashioned by creation. Every time we remember, we create new neurons, which is why memory is so unreliable. I thought, 'Well if the Greek root for 'poet' is 'creator,' then to remember is to create, and, therefore, to remember is to be a poet.' I thought it was so neat. Everyone's a poet, as long as they remember.

There are people, and we're all probably related to at least one of them, who can 'rationalize' anything, or who have beliefs that are so stubborn that they just cannot hear reason if reason is not aligned with said belief. Sometimes it's not worth trying.
