Just a pot-induced thought I had during my trip home from NJ last weekend:
Everybody lives in his/her own reality corridor. Everybody’s internal world is so different from everybody else’s. Every person’s perspective and motives are shaped by his/her unique background and personal history. Every person comes to this world not really knowing what to expect, what’s right, what’s wrong and so on. For every person , this life, this world, is a mystery. He or she looks at what other people do, trying to make sense of it.
What we should do, as an evolving humanity, is acknowledge this obvious fact early in person’s life. The child-person should know, early on, that nobody really knows how to live. This will prevent many teenage tensions / issues too. Heck, this will even decrease anger and hatred and fear and conflicts in adults.
Hello other person. Life is a mystery.
Ha ha ha. “Pot-induced”! Nice typo!
Good point! I would change it little bit to “nobody really knows how to live YOUR LIFE” It is actually in the bible for a long time:”thou shalt not make thee any graven image”.
It’s not a typo. I smoked pot. It induced the thought. Thanks for the “graven image” link!
Nobody really does know how to live. There may be rules, and we may be inspired by great people, but at the end of the day, it’s still up to us to do what we think is right, and what will make us happy. That’s the beauty of life. There are just so many choices and chances to be happy and fulfilled. Let’s make it count.
