Burn

Build it up to break it back down.

Its like lego, remember when you were a kid? (mostly guys) You would spend all day creating this awesome lego creation... then you just break it back down. Then you do it all again.

Albert Einstein once said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity.

So, where does this all play in?

Lets start on a purely emotional scale.

You start relationships, to break relationships. You start them, looking for the right person, and if they are not, you break them. Its that heat of the moment, just like lego. You build it all up, you enjoy it while it lasts, and then when you are bored with it you just smash it and start building something else up. Life is like lego then, isn't it.

We... savor this hell... one could say we enjoy the destruction of one and the building of another. Going back to the previous post... we need to go through hell... Its in our nature. We need to experience that down, in order to experience that up. That depression for that happiness. That hate for that love.

It's a cycle. It repeats. It always will. Building something up, breaking it back down, building it up again, breaking it back down again. What inspired me to write this post is Linkin Park's new single "Burn it Down" off their upcoming album "Living Things". It has almost a devilish rhythm to it... it's completely serene in itself but the song itself screams destruction.

So... by Einsteins method... since we repeat this cycle over and over again and expect something to be different, are we insane? Insane by nature, perhaps. We all do crazy things for other people... that gives us no benefit... and might not even benefit the other. It just "benefits" in general.

So maybe, we all need a little help. We all need to identify our own personal cycles and break them. Break it back down, and hope to God that when we build it back up things will be different.

We crave change, but remain the same.
