Hahahaha, lets start this one with a laugh, I just realised that I maybe write waaay too much. And since this post already seems to be taking a turn for the unconventionally worse, lets jump right into some of the cool thoughts I am having at this moment;
Isn't it the saddest common trait in society that the people who hate themselves are favored over people that hate everyone else? Although both are hate, and both are morally wrong to some extent, it is funny to see that there can be a mean for hating things. Another word for a person that hates themselves could be selflessness. Perhaps they are not actively belittling themselves, but they are still performing these sacrificial selfless acts in spite of themselves. What I see it as, is if you hate yourself, you hate the people around you. Because whether you believe it or not when shrouded by this spiteful vision, we are related. We both share these "faulty" if you will, genes. I can relate to this, that is how I know. I do sometimes have a lack of faith in humanity, but I wouldn't ask god to press the edit undo button for Adam and Eve. Because I see the capacity of every human, to do well, to love, to be "good." We have the capacity to figure this life thing out, to put forth such an effort unparalleled in all species. Although every species has done its part mind you. and that is something I can respect, the humbleness and yet raw untamed freedom of nature.
"Perspective dictates its own laws"
cool thought that was brought up with a good friend, by this I mean that a person See's what they want. Any view or prospect held by any sort of living being cannot be governed by anything but itself. Sure a persons view can change, but in the end, it is through their perspective that anything can make sense, be true, have significance. Like the question, if a tree fell in a forest and nobody was around to hear it, would it make a sound? My question is, when you walk into a forest and you see this giant tree resting in the calamity of dust, and the beam of light spilling through the hole in the canopy above it; does that image not create the greatest picture of a loud crash and breaking of boughs and branches in your mind? Like most philosophers say, there is a world of being and a world of knowing, nominal world and a phenomenal world, metaphysics etc.... So by this, if you would say the laws of death still apply to a singular perspective because without a being to think it, it becomes obsolete; I would ask you, isn't our memory of that persons perspective or that person in general, everlasting? A person cannot be forgotten, he/she vicariously lives through the whole membership of life. Have all extinct species been forgotten to the earth? No, their fossils remain, their impact in time remains. When all life is gone, their will still be that black knot called life running in the eternal grain of time. So in concerns to glory, in concerns to impact or remembrance, a person can only make that knot look bigger, not be a knot by himself in the face of time. (just a reminder, the knots seen in wood are the shoots, or branches of the tree connected to the primary xylem a.k.a heartwood.) So what if instead of looking at life as a tree, you looked at time as a tree, there is no beginning because that is the eternally growing roots. There is no end because that is the eternally growing trunk, branches, and leaves. The present is the moment the trunk meets or diverges from the roots, and it cannot signify the beginning because it grows in two different directions. Which two directions is something a beginning cannot have.
I have always had weird concepts towards the definition of time, a long time ago I liked to ask the question, what if time moved in a circle? It would still be eternal right? I like Thoreau's remarks on time when he quotes the Indian definition of time, to show time an Indian will point behind himself for the past, above himself for the present, and ahead of himself for the future. When I see this I can't help but think of the concept, what if time, was simply the laws of gravity? I wish I knew more about physics, but if every atom, stopped moving, would time go on? I would say no, because time can be a human faculty and we essentially are made of these atoms. So what if time exists in the eternal movements of these atoms? Although I have also heard that it is debatable whether atoms exist or not, so that doesn't help. Not only to mention that everything I have said is under the impression that there is no God, which could unload another plethora of possibilities. But I like imagining until my very intellect, my thought processes stress to the verge of breaking. Because as a Human, I can. A person is a person because they can be, a species is a species because it can be. Although I did not like these dead ends before, but due to new perspective I have changed.
ha! sometimes I love contradictions! and if I hated it other times, wouldn't that be a contradiction? Ooooo, someone has gotten my creative juices flowin and I love it!
This picture is in tribute of all the mathematicians and physicians out there, I love what they represent; the world of knowing.
