Surrealism


Dictionary: Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.

Encyclopedia: Surrealism. Philosophy. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life.

Context: The ice cream shop, savouring a cup of what they described as Pineapple flavoured frozen yoghurt. Wondering why we are in a closed shop and not outside, taking in the wind that smelled of freedom and municipal solid waste.

J: This is the 'time of your life', this is when you should be free and having fun.
A: You wont get this time back, you will be really busy after sometime. This is when you should keep time aside for yourself.
S: You're a workaholic. You dont like free time, do you?!

They must really think I lead a sad, miserable life!
"What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know"
 I feel surreal about the whole thing.
But more importantly, I feel happy, content, satisfied, peaceful.
