A reflection

Writing is, at least to my mind, not all for general consumption and the enjoyment of others.  It's also for my own enjoyment and for intellectual exercise.  As one types up a detailed piece, as I have done below, it has the effect of clarifying thinking in real time.  And so, after having typed all of that about Kunstler, I've come to realize that I'm tired of political discussion.  It's a sort of fatigue that has accompanied five years of frenzied and high-stress political environments.  Even though I've never covered these particular topics in the exact details that I did on the previous entry, I can't shake the feeling that this is ground that has been trodden before and it inspires a strong weariness at the realization.  I'm not at all saying that this is a prerequisite to me giving up on the whole damned thing, but it has given me a bit of pause.  Maybe my interest has dwindled and the chance of it recovering in the immediate future is remote; time will tell, I guess.  It's definitely a possibility that I'm yearning for some new and different topics and that this is just the wrong time to once again cover old ground.
