Push the sky away - Nick cave and the Bad seeds
What do we know about "Everything"?
What do we know about "Everything"?
I flew over a mountain decorated with patches of green for its inhabitants. They spend their entire lives hopping through sharp and moist rocks to graze and relax just as we work and worry our ways through overcrowded and polluted cities. There is no sense of time. Our crazy instincts to be where we want to be and do nothing and justify it as an act of worthy work.
It is so simple for me to sit in a cubicle and bark. About everything. Spew philosophy, purpose, attention to conscience, politics. When all I do is wait for my next paycheck to pay the bills and occasionally boast my excess. Never caring about this world and moving on to garner more excess. Vow. Such a dick life can be. Pretentious living. How did all this happen? At what turn, did I see a tree bearing fruits and began that elusive chase to basket a few, and not bothering if few fell down as I can always go further and many such turns await for my saddened feet to trod and leave prints of utter failure in conscience? All the while feeling excited about this self proclaimed journey of exploring. Empty f'ng vase.
Those migratory birds have a purpose. A discipline that we can never learn.
What can we learn then? As a first step, don't become a victim of others judgement and train your mind to judge less. Can we try please!
