Proof that you are ordinary and
still loyal to your employer
is your display of dismay over
selected episodes in life’s vast repertoire;
such also portends the hurdle
you face in ever realizing
what is going on in
life.
Being the dunce is being unsettled
by specific events,
as identified by the thoughts
that pass through you;
tornados are only terrifying
when you think about them by name,
and in that tornados are a natural
part of the planet’s respiratory system, fear of them is academic, (in
the stupid sense).
Everything man has named exists
naturally in life;
things his thoughts approve
of; things they denounce;
people he agrees with; people
he hates.
Life births each man standing
on an unseen soapbox,
his little hands already clutched
in preparation for later
fist-shaking in the air.
Life has created within itself
many acts that many men oppose;
then created some men to do
the acts,
and others to oppose them.
Life is as wide as the universe,
and at far corners has forces
working which appear in conflict,
as though one corner was pulling
in one direction,
and another corner, in another,
but all corners are a part of
a unified universe.
Those (seemingly everybody)
who do not see this are born into life to question life (commonly called,
God) about selected events, (e.g.):
How is murder permitted to
exist?
Some men are born with a permit
from life to murder;
most are born with instructions
to condemn murder;
thus, if you are one of the
former, and murder: you are doing your job, and if you are one of the latter,
and outraged by murder,
you too are fulfilling your
responsibility.
Life also directs that men (primarily
of the second group)
try to explain/justify/make-some-thought-based-sense-of
murder,
but they can come to no satisfying
conclusion.
Life is not made of conclusions;
life is an open ended sentence,
an ongoing process, and a universal
process requires all of the
ingredients men find extant
in the universe -- including murder,
its condemnation, and inexplicableness,
(to routine thought).
Life creates everything just
as it is and just as man sees it,
then creates enough men with
diverse thoughts so that ultimately, every feature of life gets it share
of fulmination;
life creates each man just as
he is,
then causes each to condemn
certain features of himself;
ordinary men do not escape their
indictment of themselves any more than does the life going on all about
them.
Just as the universe contains
all that human thought deems proper,
and all it judges unacceptable,
so too exists the same situation
in each man’s inner universe.
Wholes beg no explanation
-- only parts;
each man is born with individually
adjusted fly eyes
which see in facets and are
incapable of delivering to the brain,
the entirety of a scene;
those who would cry at the thought
of helpless saplings
being pushed into the whirling
blade at a sawmill,
beam with delight at the framing
of their new house;
only piecemeal sight alarms
-- full viewing never disturbs.
Life does not provide men usually
with the talent of thought to
take in a full picture of life
-- life cannot do so even for itself;
(where can the universe stand
to take a full length photo of itself);
life uses man’s fractured sight,
whereby each person’s attention is automatically drawn to focus on &
criticize selected activities,
as an internal feedback system;
a man condemning a murder which
life allowed to occur,
is life reflecting on its own
life.
Life & the universe expands
materially at levels
beyond human comprehension,
and in another direction, on
a different level,
does so through man --
and primarily via his thought&talk.
Life understands this -- why can’t you.

......want
a hint? Ask yourself: Why is no one interested in the above.
......men are made to be blind -- not to see.
......and you must participate in
your blindness by staring at first one thing, then another.
......the cure for uncertainly is action. Do something, dammit! -- don't just stare.
