It’s that time again! Time to Interpret This!
…However there’s a catch…I am changing up the format, I’m no longer going to reinterpret the quotes…I will leave that entirely up to you.
But, what I am going to do is comment on the quotes…(pretty much what I was already doing). My goal is to get people to think more deeply about life by introducing them to quotes that they normally would not be exposed to…fair enough, right?
Word!
(Cue creepy organ music!)
Welcoteme to the 2nd installment of the Interpret This! series, brought to you by your ‘single-serving’ narrator, Ego, from HalfassBackwards.com

1). “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti
Learning doesn’t stop when formal education ends, life is a constant learning process. Take every situation you encounter as a learning experience. Tell yourself “I can’t fail, I can only learn and grow!” Learn from other people’s mistakes!
2). “A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.” -Allan Watts
Just think about the time the first ‘humans’ began to question their existence, and all of the weird explanations/rationalizations that were made, and then finally settled upon. The more popular ones were taught and passed down from generation to generation. Consider what I just typed when pondering the subject of religion and spirituality.
3). “A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?” -Albert Einstein
I ask myself this one all the time, but I keep deciding that neither seems to be true, we’re all crazy to a certain extent. Humans controlling humans, creating fear, starting wars, and enabling ignorance to persist. Trying to answer such a question clouds the mind.

Now wasn’t that fun?
Care to make your own interpretation?

Word!
This might become an ongoing post topic, because I find it fun and enlightening to re-interpret some one’s words, and have comment participation with readers.
Although, history shows us how dangerous interpretations can be… =)
I will be listing 3 quotes by well-known and even unknown authors, public figures, and artists.
Then I will give my own Halfass interpretation of each quote.
I encourage all who read this post to pick one or all of the quotes and then give their own interpretation.
Have fun!
Here goes…
