closing in on reality
It's been too longer since I've posted here but I'm back.
Lately I've been wanting to use this blog to express my opinions about what things we can do as individuals and as a species to have a better life experience. After all, that’s the entire game isn’t it? What possible good comes from a miserable life that also in no way made even the tiniest bit of difference? Imagine someone who not only spent their life exclusively exploring all and only the dark and dangerous alleys of negative human emotions but also managed to contribute so little to the lives of those with whom they came into contact (or even worse, only took from those unfortunate souls) that there’s literally no one, not even their own mother, who would miss them when finally they shuffled off this mortal coil. This would be a wasted life in the extreme. It is my hope that in the now nearly six decades of my life experience I have accumulated at least some wisdom that I can impart on anyone willing to listen. My kids have had no choice. You, on the other hand, do.
What shall (mostly) follow then are my ramblings based upon what I have discovered, learned, experienced and often simply tripped over, as I followed the seemingly (yet clearly not so) predictable path of my life up to this point. Throughout this journey I have encountered others who seem as though they get through each day just trying not to run into what ever is in front of them. They certainly learn things but it’s all focused on the here and now. I do this as well but I also spend quite a bit of time (some might say too much of it) thinking about the nature of reality from its beginning to the present day and forward beyond the horizon of the unforeseeable future. Having done all that, I’m convinced that some of it was worth while but it will have been more so if I can touch the lives of others in some positive way.
If you find the posts I write helpful, you can reward me for my effort in two ways. First, you can drop me a line and tell me what you think even if it’s that I’m batshit crazy. Second, you can spread the word so that others can decide for themselves if I’m batshit crazy or not.
It is my hope that I will begin making this a more regular thing. You can subscribe if you’d like to be informed when my latest thought has made its way from a whisper of an idea to a full-fledged essay landing at its ultimate destination, here.
Onward and upward.
