Linear living, linear thinking

Perhaps thoughts and living follow a linear trajectory though that line, as others see it, is not always in the direction that one should or is expected to go and then does not feel like a straight path.

I get lost in my thoughts and often times, I feel like they bounce between different threads of thought. However, when I go back to what felt like "messy" writing, there's more logical order to it and I find that it makes sense.

Perhaps it does because it's me and I understand my own thinking.

Or maybe, just maybe, my thoughts are more logical and linear than I thought it was.

Even living has a progression that could be argued is linear. We wake up, do stuff, and go to sleep. I suppose depending on how you define linear (or perhaps what I mean to get at is logical) will determine whether or not something is linear or not.

Linearity perhaps has more to do with the logic of the time rather than any true sense of a straight trajectory.

See? This one feels messy, but I think that it makes sense in its own way. If it has its own logic that can be followed, doesn't that mean that this too is linear thinking?*

*Though I do want to make the distinction between linear and one-dimensional thinking. By linear, I simply mean that thoughts follow a logical order that seems to follow a definitive and understandable path. One-dimensional thinking seems to have the sense of flatness and a lack of depth.
