is probably why most people do not spend their lives in search of enlightenment,
It is said we shouldn't fear the unknown,
given, if nothing else, the known is behind so many of our problems.
This makes sense, in at least leaving us the possibility that what we don't know of yet can't hurt us, when given what do know of has, so often,
obliterated even our most imperishable of hopes.

You are being squeezed from a tube you don't understand by a being you can't comprehend for a reason you can't imagine.
And though squeezing is often painful, at least in the case of toothpaste, does something good for something somewhere.

There are many kinds of rocks, and many kinds of bottoms.

being happpened requires a reason,
and a reason a desire,
a desire a knowledge,
a knowledge an experience,
an experience, memory,
and memory, just as much more forgetting.
What is it we are really looking for,
but an end to the search itself?
We are all good at one thing for certain,
.....being alive.
If neuroscientists (and physicists) are right, I'm a few hundred milliseconds on either side of
a totally different life.
In viewing life as an educational opportunity, we might agree that
some courses we would recommend, and some courses we wouldn't.
If physicists agree that "now" is an illusion,
Why try so hard to be in it?

Karl Popper was right, and a whole tradition after, failure is our only hope.

I'm onto myself. Are you onto yours?
Just asking.
