Man's Law vs. Nature's Law
[20:48] [Sunday, April 22, 2007]
I have never been what you would call content. Always this feeling that things aren't quite right. That there's something missing. Something essential to who we were and who we still hopefully are. It's so vast and essential some of us spend our whole lives looking for it, but once it was so simple we didn't even need to think about it. It just was. I think most people have felt this way. Some briefly, who then find distractions; others increasingly, who grow more and more uncertain of "their place."
We are so self-absorbed and arrogant that we live our lives with blinders on. We now see only what is directly in front of us and no longer what is all around us. I am like this and so are you. Can we reinvent ourselves? Unlearn what we have been taught for so long? Can we even remember what's missing?
I want to. Yet I am everywhere I go. And you are everywhere too. It seems like there is no escape. Like we are all being pulled down the same raging river, and no one can pull themselves ashore; most prefer to just go with the flow. We are everywhere and the majority rules. Or at least that's what we think. Eventually one law will prevail.
Many who read this will be thinking, "Come on, Brady (John), cut the ideological crap!" or maybe just, "What the hell are you talking about?" I am just making observations.
I am one of us. For an outsider's view, I highly recommend reading "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. Please.
