The truth about who you are

A being comes to another and asks, “How to be?”

A being laughs and groans.

If a being asks how to be, is he not ignorant of his own being?

He has likely discarded his own being long ago.

Victims of existence

A selfish god wouldn’t make a very good one.

Good to who?

Primarily itself.

If it were selfish, it would experience the exquisite array of all the pains life has to offer.

Pain is pain.

But it’s an entirely different animal when it lives in existential terror.

Empty mind, limitless possibility

Everything must return to its source in due time.

A clean slate is a wonderful thing.

One may build from the scaffolding of that which previously came.

But to enter into a situation full of preconceived notions, opinions, prejudices and expectations, limits the situation entirely.

Avoidance of truth

Your mother has it.

Your father has it.

Your sister, brother, uncle and cousin have it.

They all have it.

Even after having read the previous sentence, it will begin to tell you the story of this problem, and how you need to fix it.

Reputation versus truth

Reputation. Let’s talk it.

A reputation has no benefit to a person other than that which is measurable. I’m talking dollars and cents. Forget being liked. Forget looking perfect for the sake of being considered so. Where is the utility?

A meditation on time and freedom

Life lived in limbo — what’s the opposite?

Not stopping. Not getting hung up.

Not falling victim to a mind that gets stuck on any one issue, as this getting stuck is fatal.

How could it not be when time itself is the lifeblood of life, itself.

The truth about hope

I don’t need hope.

Why would I regulate what I can have now to hope?

Maybe it’s because I haven’t considered what I have now as much as I should have.

To drop into a senseless void to make sense of it all.
