circles and dots

2nd bit from theories in the shower.  my artistic prowess simply failed.  i couldn't draw a circle, so let's just use imagination.  imagination's good.  it forces you to think. plus, it allows me to be lazy.

this is a relationship model just seems to make sense (well, to me anyway).  of course, plenty to expand on hopefully in the future.

first off, imagine. imagine a big circle.  this represents everything about you - your personality, actions, beliefs, interests, where you go on monday mornings, basically, well, everything.  and then a dot somewhere in the middle.  that's you.  right at this moment. now.

so as time passes, this circle changes, expanding and contracting in different areas.  this world is an entire venn diagram of circles, 7 billion of them.  and some are going be independent.  some will overlap, some more so than others.  and that's how relationships come about.  because the dots (us) are always going to be their own circles,  when two dots come into a shared space in their circles, things happen.  friendships are forged.  and the bigger the overlap (more similar traits, hobbies blah), the higher the chance a positive relationship develops.

and here's where knowledge and awareness comes in.  dots clearly have the power to move around, and can consciously move in and out of shared spaces, and we do.  choosing whether we want to be part of a group or be alone, temporary or permanent.  choosing (at times) how our circles should expand.  but of course, we don't always know about others and their circles.  and that's when we float unintentionally into shared spaces, good thing or not.

so there we are, just dots floating about in our circles. raw yes, but maybe, just maybe, this could work.  don't you just love math. :)
