What is the rationale behind this post? I have been a witness to the
latest happenings, and I felt that there was an entire array of
universal Truths and paradigms threading the fabric of the events. I am
not only speaking of the obvious, headline events, but also of the
seemingly insignificant ones, like the personal choices of mortals -
cowardice, brevity, stupidity, wisdom,lamentation...THESE are Life.
Whereas the grandiose events are the ones that strike the eyes and
captivate the mind immediately, they are FACTS that will fossilize into
what we will call History. They are in fact a small part of Life, as
they are cataclysms of Life.
I have observed choices and intent behind them being made, as cataclysms
always force a barrage of them, and I felt like writing my thoughts on
them down. This is not a lecture, not a guilt trip, not a philosophy. I
just like to think, as thinking is pleasurable to me, so these are
merely my subjective notes and observations. If you don't like those,
skip this silly post :), if you do, I hope you enjoy reading them as
much as I did thinking them.
