Interrogations (Part 1)

A few questions:

At the base
of your existence
is a thought
as to why
you would think
and evaluate the world
as you do,

and even though
you may not be aware
that you filter every thought
through it,
nevertheless
it is the final arbiter
of all things
and how you feel
about your life.  

How you feel
in your thoughts
is the interpretation
of how you actually feel
and everything you think
is a rationalization
of how to make the world
appear to agree
with your emotional evaluation
of it.  

Your feelings
thus control
your thoughts,
and your thoughts
control your behaviors.  

What behaviors
do you feel
you need to control,
and what are the thought forms
that you use
to support those feelings?  

Lastly,
how you feel
is how you have grown to feel
over time
given a scattered sense
of what was happening;
we all have only
a partial view
of reality.  

What if you
were to begin today
brand new
with no previous thoughts
or feelings
and build your world
upon what you see now?  

If you had known
I was going to ask these questions,
would this have gone
a different way?
