Greetings good citizen, yet another day in paradise! (locally) the sun is shining, the birds are silent and the breeze is gentle and warm for an Early Fall day.
It was my goal to write an 'upbeat' post today but since there is nothing to be 'optimistic' about and my 'main mission' is drawing attention to the multiple fictions that swallow you whole all your waking hours, so spinning more 'wild yarns' wouldn't be particularly helpful.
That said, the truth must appear 'fanciful' as well as disturbingly vacant. Hard to learn that your only 'hope' is you.
Nice to believe a creator has your back and intends to reward you regardless of what this existence forces you to do in order to survive another day.
Of course nobody realizes the DD are made of exactly this fallacy [DD in this case stands for Dangerously deluded.]
God wants you to OBEY, right and wrong be damned, which is how the sane among us know they are being played by the feckless who claim to 'speak for God'.
So, how many of you 'whistle past the graveyard' to distract yourself from thinking about a place that none of us will escape?
Understand most of us will never make it under 'hallowed ground', there will be too many of us and nobody left to bury our remains. [See, 'upbeat' all gone!]
As I approach the 'end of the line' I am torn between life's futility and its brevity.
Like my staggeringly long resume will my new refrain be, "I hope I like my next life better!"
Some of 'us' (whatever that may be) likely have been here before but that thought dead ends in the unanswerable, "Does life have a purpose?" [Does it NEED to?] Wait a minute, this daisy chain doesn't end here. Why does sentient life need to eat, er, hopefully non-sentient life to live?
Is it any wonder our minds 'shutdown' only a few steps down this rabbit hole?
Zen teaches 'it is what it is' and 'what happens, happens'...it also teaches that actions have consequences.
Is the 'fatalism' that pervades our species born of our inability to conceive of 'higher plane'? [where sentience is more than just 'consciousness'?] Could we be working towards a higher degree of 'awareness'?
Schools sucks but we all have to start somewhere...[upbeat restored!]
Until next time, Head.
