Inconsequential

Its ALL inconsequential (sp?). Did it ever occur to anyone else that we're all just killing time? That everything that we do in this life is just a distraction - to keep us from thinking about the fact that this planet is only temporary? Our planet, probably like a million others throughout time, is evolving and transforming and is not everlasting. It's just a physical, almost living, thing. I say almost living just based on the paradigm within which society seems to understand and label things....so I guess I may be limited by the same paradigm. Maybe it IS living. Maybe we're all just parasites living on and off of another living organism. Who's to say we're not?

And what if it's all possible right now and we're just too lazy and limited in belief and understanding to take advantage of it? What do I mean by "all" - anything you could possibly imagine. Even things you don't have the capability to imagine - those things that nobody has imagined yet. Because hasn't everything always been possible?

Think about it. Think about the advances in every area of science, engineering, understanding of the human mind and body, etc. over the past 200 years. But if all of that is possible now, wasn't it also possible then? Yes - just maybe nobody even thought about it being possible. If they thought about it, couldnt' they have discovered ways to make it so?

200 years ago the first generation (figuratively speaking) discovered A. WOW! The next generation already having a knowledge of and belief in A, dared to imagine B and poof! there it was. The next generation, already accepting of A and of B, dreamed of and manifested C. And so on and so on. The only thing that kept the first generation from getting to C, or even Z, or beyond was an inability to understand and imagine that it could even exist.

No - I'm not cracking up. It's just that the world seems so inane right now. All of the things we focus on, depend on, exist for are ridiculous. We must work. Who says so? We must have style. Who says so? We must have gender roles. Who says so? We can't personally fly. Who says so? If someone had the freedom of thought and spirit to believe that they could fly, who says they couldn't? What if we can?

We spend so much of our lives trying to fit into and live up to some societal standard. But we all, at least I hope we all, grow to find at some point in our lives that it's the less cerebral things that are important in our lives. It is the matters of the heart and soul that bring us to our pinnacle of life, that give us the greatest joy and the greatest fulfillment, that complete us as humans. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to embrace that fully. There doesn't seem to be a way to live that.

Sometimes it all seems such a huge waste of human energy.
