[FairfieldLife] Interesting statements about the nature of life and the universe
And so here's the test. How many can read through the list of quotes and decide whether they like them or not, identify with them or not, and feel positively or negatively about the person or persons who wrote them *without* Googling first? I think we all know that there are many here who are so concerned with their self image and how people perceive *them* that they won't be able to do it. This set of quotes is for the others, the ones who can think for themselves, without caring which so-called authority is being invoked. This is the greatest damn thing about the universe. That we can know so much, recognize so much, dissect, do everything, and we can't grasp it. What are we here for if not to enjoy life eternal, solve what problems we can, give light, peace and joy to our fellow-man, and leave this dear fucked-up planet a little healthier than when we were born. No matter what you touch and you wish to know about, you end up in a sea of mystery. You see there's no beginning or end, you can go back as far as you want, forward as far as you want, but you never got to it, it's like the essence, it's that right, it remains. This is the greatest damn thing about the universe. That we can know so much, recognize so much, dissect, do everything, and we can't grasp it. And it's meant to be that way, do y'know. And there's where our reverence should come in. Before everything, the littlest thing as well as the greatest. The tiniest, the horseshit, as well as the angels, do y'know what I mean. It's all mystery. All impenetrable, as it were, right?

turq, I love that phrase sea of mystery. It resonates with me. I promise I did not google. But I will as soon as I hit Send. I guess it's Bruce Cockburn...
