Greetings good citizen, As yet another milestone goes zipping by it is easy to get the idea that we follow this long, dark road alone. [If the comments section of this blog is anything to go by, it's a lot 'lonelier' than you'd ever imagine.]
[Is this the product of empty hearts or empty minds...either way it is not 'up to me' to decide as I neither know or particularly care.]
But that is a fantasy. The reality is we are marching into the unknown together, in lockstep.
You can't go to the left or the right, all you can do is follow the path straight ahead to wherever it leads.
The 'aloneness' is an illusion created by our inability to influence the course/trajectory our lives have taken. When viewed through this lens it is easy to fall into the 'predestination' trap, that all choice is an illusion.
The mind rebels against the idea of 'pointlessness'. If it is all unalterable, why bother in the first place?
Why bother indeed?
What escapes most of us is how the 'purpose' of life is to LEARN. If the lesson were as simple as how not to get chumped we are an epic failure, aren't we?
This appears to be the result created by the 'go along to get along' culture that sprang forth from the pointlessness this life represents. If you are here to 'grow' you had best not be reliant on the sunshine of shared knowledge because we have also evolved into a society that believes ignorance is to be exploited rather than cured.
[Dunno what you 'see' when you hit a milestone, just sharing what it looks like from here.]
What if this 'exercise in futility' were actually a 'self-inflicted wound'?
You know you are not alone but you prefer to think you are and YOU have NOTHING to teach yourself [although you are constantly 'discovering' things you never knew about yourself...a riddle, I know.]
Here's a thought, what if this shitshow wasn't about what you want but what WE need to do to live in harmony with one another?
Scary thought considering how wrapped up in ourselves the media encourages us to be...
Until next time, Head.

Now dust off that old Hollies tune and walk down memory lane with me, remembering how much I love you.
