'My'stake



Is life to be blamed if it turned out to be meaningless ?
The fault is his who tries to attach a meaning to it.
Oh.. you self asserted "superior" creature, what good
was the reasoning that you claim makes you human.
"Human" a word that you take pride in stressing,
Human i am all too human, you say when you fail.
Human, and hence i am meant to be superior,
echoes your ego in victory.
The world that you see through the mask that you wear
is yours and only yours.
You might be able to see the world through it,
a part of it you can never be, till you tear it off and become
one with the unity, which is all that exists.

P,
You have eloquently revelealed one of the keys to the universe, which is that..

"a part of it you can never be, till you tear it off and become
one with the unity, which is all that exists".

Universal truth is a dialectic... a dance of concepts from seeing what really is, then seeing what really isn't, and then mentally integrating what you have learned into the realization that both things are equally true...and yet equally untrue at the same time. This means (and I just realized this) when I said that I am not a liar, I was lying. But the other statement, that I am NOT lying, is also equally valid. While in most, if not all, cases I do INTEND to be truthful, careful analysis will always reveal ways in which I have said things or thought in ways which were untrue. It seems that it is inescapable that I am both being truthful and a liar at the same time.

There are several philosophical elements in this post and yet at its core there is really only one.

Great post!!
