Thoughtful Experiment

Schrodinger's Cat experiment, now that I've totally confused you, let me explain.  I was watching a tv show, and this experiment was brought up, and it really got me thinking.  You'd have to google the whole experiment, but basically it makes the point of we don't what will happen in life or any situation unless we actually do it or try it, basically all planning or assuming is really pointless, because in the end we won't know the truth of if it's good or bad unless we try.

There are a few situations in my life I can apply this to.  Let's take me work situation, I haven't been happy for a couple years with my pay, and I was very vocal and honest about it, in the end I was lied to and can now prove it.  I no longer have the job due to me making poor choices over my own frustrations over my pay and treatment at work, yet I never quit on my own out of fear of being out of work. You see, I felt I already knew leaving was bad, yet here I am, and every position I see, pays double or more what I was making there, and I qualify for them all.  So something I thought would be bad, may wind up being the best thing to ever happen to me.  It could also be the end of me as well, but I won't know until I try it.

The woman I love and will always love, same dilemma, I feel we would be amazing together, she feels we'll end badly, and for this reason she keeps away.  Now I'm not trying to start anything, so don't misunderstand.  Right now, I'm ok with friends, but do realize I will always love her.  The truth is, neither of us know what will happen unless we try,  It could good, and it could be bad, but the only way to know for sure is to try.  What this experiment is telling us, is if we really want to live, we have to be brave to try, even if it kills us.  I for one, would rather die trying, than live wondering what if.  Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe my eyes are finally open.  Right now, I just need her friendship, and honestly I need her friendship a lot, so I don't want to mess that up at the moment, because she just started talking to me some again, and I want that.  But I want to open and honest, I do still love her and I will always love her, she can't take or change that about me.  But trust me, trust me to respect her enough, to hold my love back unless the time is finally right for me to let it loose.  I both love you and respect you, and I will always take the current situation of her life in mind. 

I know I'm stirring the pot a little, and I don't mean to really, it's just this experiment really got me thinking.  It's simple, yet so deep.  If you try, you either live or die, but either way you know, and by knowing you are relieved the stress of wondering what if.  I'm not saying things won't hurt still, they'll just be a more understanding and manageable hurt once you know you tried.  I'm going tell you what I think, and I could be right and I could be wrong, I think I'm going to not only land on my feet, but get a better job all around then what I had, I think losing my job will be an immense blessing, and I think my love is real, and I believe in time somehow things will work out, don't know how, and it might be years from now, but I believe it.  Now truthfully, I won't know until I try.  But a positive attitude never hurt anyone.  I for one, don't want to wonder what if about anything like that, I'd just assume risk it all and try, to me that brings me real peace of mind.
