Thinking Answers Self Loathing

More From James Frey

I close my eyes and i take a deep breath and i think about my life and how i ended up this way. i think about the ruin, devastation and wreckage i have caused to myself and to others. i think about self-hatred and self-loathing. i think about how and why and what happened and the thoughts come easily, but the answers don't.

First thoughts are the everyday thoughts. everyone has those. second thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. people who enjoy thinking have those. third thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. they’re rare, and often troublesome. listening to them is part of witchcraft.

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.

The main thing for me is just the length of time it takes to make a movie. it's at least a year of just talking about it, talking about it with yourself or your director or your other castmates or the press, so you just want to make sure it's a film that although you initially feel this pull or this drive to it, you don't really have the answers to why you're drawn to it. but it's more about not knowing the answers to certain questions but wanting to go on the journey of discovery to find the answers.

The universe was a silly place at best...but the least likely explanation for it was the no-explanation of random chance, the conceit that abstract somethings 'just happened' to be atoms that 'just happened' to get together in ways which 'just happened' to look like consistent laws and some configurations 'just happened' to possess self-awareness and that two 'just happened' to be the man from mars and a bald-headed old coot with jubal inside.

But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. to the question, "how did it all begin?", science answers, "probably by an accident." to the question, "how will it all end?", science answers, "probably by an accident." and to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "why are we here?" and, to the question, "what moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.
