You never forget. Some things, some people, you never forget. In the last two days I have talked to two of my oldest friends. Both of whom I have known for 15+ years. This is a long time when you're only twenty. And neither of them are the type that I talk to every day. But you never forget. Old jokes come up, old ways of talking. Common interests and new ideas. You don't have to grow apart from people, sometimes you will, but it is almost never difficult to take a step back every month or two and keep in touch.
Anywho, talking tonight I was reminded of a quote.
"God is devious, but not malicious." -Einstein
Another one of those people who was so incredibly smart that it hurts. Witty along with logical and a mathatical titan. I kind of like the way this one feels. It really doesn't say all of that much, but each adjective has a distinct conatation. Devious implies that God is vast and powerful, and more than anything else, cunning. And with that kind of a description usually comes the idea of mischief. But here he amends and says that God is not an any way malicious. That though we may not understand a web of complexities so think that it seems aimless, there is no malice in it. No ill intent. Comforting, if you buy into both God and Einstein. The problem is that the people at either end see them as opposites.
