Ever stay up all night and then look out the window and see the sun come up...and then ask yourself, "What the Fuck is wrong with me?" I wonder this since it seems to be a non event. It has happened before and it will happen again whether I'm here to see it or not. I guess what I'm getting after is the idea for living for today. Shouldn't I feel compelled to run out and bathe in the suns new warmth and listen the planet wake up anew? The sun is responsible for all life, for our food and daylight and everything which is important to us. Why don't we worship it still? Rhetorical for sure.
If I study a cat or dog or any other animal the question that comes to my mind is; What is it that you want? The most probable answer is more of the same. It seems that most animals are happy if they're fed, temperate temperature, and not being attacked. The apex of ignorance is bliss.
Why can't people be like this? Or at least why can't I? I reason that if we were to wake up and be ecstatic about the suns rising, at minimum many other things would fall into place. Seems that a bit of Buddhism ideals could help us all out. The more connected I am the more disconnected I feel. But it is a desirable mental disorder to pursue isn't it? More Facebook and email. More toys and cash , power and influence, more control and hobbies and pharmaceuticals.
I would (hope is the wrong word) foresee that if we could feel love for one another, worship not our religion but something that actually does something......and simply raise our consciousness through questioning everything we can escape what has become our potentially doomed trial called existence.
