| there is a limited space in the attic |
"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it - there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."
Right now, my attic is filled up with mumbojumbo; useless furniture crammed up to the ceiling. I have no space to fit anything else in. The more i try, the more i forget. So, is there a point to keep learning, with the risk of forgetting at the same time? I think not.

no problems at all! I'm glad to hear everything's slowly getting back on track =)
If only the attic sale can be similar to a garage sale, in that someone's trash is another's treasure. In that way, people would start filling their attic with your trash and then you have more room for treasure in your attic.

Thoughts, ...flowing slowly and gracefully, ...awakening the senses, ...keeping you up in the night, I sometimes wonder why people write. To express? To reflect? To be heard? I write, to free myself from a world of thoughts.
