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 its 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 around 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 saw mill, 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 and 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 and 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 and 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.
