What secret music do I hear
Upon the drums of my ear
What great pleasure I feel
I come from nowhere and I shall return
Because of you people I will flee
I see my late identity burn
I think that not necessarily everything in life is a big buddhist style learning moment and sometimes we really do just dig our own holes. And I mean, there’s nothing to say that the person in this simplistic cartoon strip didn’t learn anything here. Maybe sometimes the lesson is just that if you touch the hot plate on a stove, you’ll get burnt.
Other bigger lessons in life probably look a bit different to this.
The person is your ‘self’ or your mind, the ground is your life, or experience thereof. The thing sticking out of the ground that needs investigating is the start of an addiction, or a negative life path, or a spiral of harmful thoughts and depression, or anything that stops your progress on the path of life and makes you start digging holes for yourself to get stuck in.
Finally one (hopefully) realises that their dug their own hole and sees the solution to get out.
Or something like that. I think that’s the gist of what I felt about this meme or cartoon strip or whatever. Thanks for the creative writing exercise lol.
Depends on a few things, including the viewpoint in question.
And my patience at a particular time because I’m not 18 and just discovering the world anymore and a lot of shit is the same old shit, even if it’s had a ribbon tied around it.
Some things that I’m more or less out of patience with are bigotry, right wing conservative conformists and supremacists, and monotheism. But I’m open to discussing most other things.
I’d be more inclined to ‘meet in the middle’ politically if ‘politics’ were about say how taxes should be spent, and not about who should have more or less human rights than who.
