The "Not as With it" One

There's always someone in the family that is "not as with it" as another. Depending on what and who is being compared, one is more logical, stylish, smarter, faster and more "with it" than another. And most adult children pride themselves in being more "with it" than Mom or Dad.

These things cause pride or great insecurity, yet the thing is, everyone is at one time the "with it" one, and at other time, the "not as with it" one.

Now that I see life as a hologram, I see where the "with it" one is at a disadvantage. It would be very hard for that one to embrace anything outside of left brain, logical thinking.

And who knows, perhaps each of our holograms are so different that there is no set way that a thing is supposed to go anyway. Maybe there are many options for the same event - depending on who is hearing, seeing or feeling it - a little like asking 10 people what they saw when they witnessed an event, and hearing 10 different accounts of the same thing. Perhaps all ten accounts are true, even if they seem to contradict the other versions. What is chaotic and weird for one person or family may be completely normal for another.

All I know is that I won't feel so "with it" anymore when I'm with my parents, and I feel much less insecurity when I'm the one who is "not so with it". And built into the discomfort of feeling "not as with it" is the clue to go on a treausre hunt and discover that none of it is real anyway. It only exists in the mind.
