Another View of Life

Allow me to share another view of life, one you may never have considered. It may test your beliefs and ability to consider new ideas. Or it may feel completely right and natural at a place deep below the workings of your mind.

We are souls born into an interactive system of creation, dropped into a strange and unforgiving world without any rules other than the limited teachings passed down from generation to generation. Limited, for their wizened advice is in effect little more than the blind leading the blind, based on the distorted perceptions of their outer experience where conflict and struggle were their only reliable tools to survive.

Within that system each of us comes to learn who we are, what we are capable of, and what we are all about, together with others also here to explore who they are, too. And we interact with them to create the experiences we both need to get what we came for.

All Wrapped Up With No Place to Go

Most of the time we're so wrapped up in ourselves and the little fiefdoms we carve out that we give little thought to our relationship to each other, much less the source of life that put us here. The world that's manifest around us appears finite, often beyond our control, and our circumstances are not always favorable to getting what we want. So we learn to fight with that world, and with each other, to get what we can.
