 "Ya ya ya ya ya" because I refuse to see that. I refuse to hear that. I resist registering that. Such inconvenient reality. I will bypass. I will invite my best friend the mental fog. I will lull my mind with the padded vapors of illusion. Happily I rest in the shallow lap of my selective interpretation.

The more you bypass — the more you refuse to recognize — the more your cognitive circuits degrade. Clear frames of actuality turn into porridge. Defining edges are lost. Discernment has no foundation. Your awareness morphs into a meaningless blob. Bypassing our lives away. Returning to primordial ooze.

**FYI. If you bypass what life presents before you**, you invite mental fog, cognitive blur. Instead of clarity, mist of confusion. And when that becomes chronic, you turn into a meaningless, aimless blob, drifting away in the tides of time. The stream of habits, pushing and pulling you, an organic automaton.

Why is that? Why do we so doggedly, persistently refuse to register and recognize what's right in front of us — as it is? For the simple reason that this recognition is consequential and may not at all be compatible with our ideas, with our preferred version of reality. And so we close our eyes, we close our ears. We edit our version of what is.

Really, it's also just terrible manners. Ignoring what's placed right before you. The face of reality overlooked. Poor reality, bypassed. Because we are so in love with our make-believe reality. We bypass real people, real statements, real situations. Whatever that fits our fancy, that we see — the rest of it we don't.

Case in point, this here little sermon. 99.9% of you will pass by, will not register, will not respond, because it's inconvenient. You would much rather that you could unhear this, that all of this would just go away, stop bugging you, and you could return to your padded illusions. And yes, my friend, you have that freedom of choice. You can bypass the face of reality, you can not attend, not recognize, not respond to what is.

Instead, moving on in your evolution into a meaningless blob. The more you bypass, the more you refuse to recognize, the more your cognitive circuits degrade. In time, you will meet the fulfillment of your aspirations as a single cell organism in the primordial ooze. When there, don't go tripping on amino acids. It results in the growth of complexity, and you need to deal with it all over again.

How curious the cycle of life, our tales of evolution and devolution. For your information, though, you can also cross beyond the threshold, deal with everything as it is, recognize the full spectrum of reality, and see what lies beyond. Might be interesting.
