[House talking to a patient]
Patient: Time. Time changes everything.
HOUSE: It’s what people say. It’s not true. Doing things changes things. Not doing
things… leaves things exactly as they were.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, if you keep doing the same thing everyday - it has a way of changing things and changing the way you are? And when you do nothing, things don’t change? Is that it? Well, maybe…but really, it’s the people who naturally change. Or maybe just because I haven’t made any major alterations in my life, I haven’t changed so much myself.
What remained constant? It’s the way my feelings sometimes impose obscurity over my judgement or the way I always seem get attracted to drama. It’s like when my taste in music never changes - that sucks. I mean, I generally like music being an afficionado there are just some that really stick. I dig all sort of crooning from classics to emo. Sometimes I get tired of listening to it, but each time I go to read over the lyrics of my favorite songs - there it goes, repeating in my head again and still, I cannot forget that I need this self-inflicted pain. It was my standard of beautiful. It’s how attached I am to the words spoken as if I do not know that loving this part is a little too strange. When I hear that song, I no longer listen to the tune - I listen to the most important part. And I wait for the ideal lines that sting.But I would not listen to those songs for now.
If I let it play on again, at this very moment, something would change. I am not making any move because right now, I don’t want time to change anything.
