Today's PRR-losophy marks a special event. It is the 364th entry on my daily blog.
When I first began PRR-losophy, I didn't know whether I was able to keep thinking up a quote every day. The underlying question was "Can I be philosophical every day?" So far, the answer is "yes".
My brain is constantly thinking. From the moment I wake up, to the time that I close my eyes to sleep, I am always ruminating on a topic. Sometimes those topics run free in my mind, and a quote will just "pop into my head". Other times, I will begin the day thinking about a particular subject, and I will continue those thoughts throughout the whole day. The quote at the end of the day is a culmination of that thinking process.
Whatever the process is on any given day, be it an instant quote, or one that is formed over time, I seem to come up with something. There are days when I have three or four thoughts that could easily become quotes. I write those down, and if they evolve into something worth publishing, then I put them up on another day.
There have been times when I have been mentally drained at the end of the day, and I've had to sit down and let the day's rush sit idly by. Each time, a quote still manages to surface.
There are a few quotes that obviously do not "feel right", and could be re-written in another way. I've kept those quotes in situ, as I believe that philosophical debate stems not from the quote itself, but from what it means for the reader.
Tomorrow will mark one calendar year of PRR-losophy.
