Peculiar, pain, love, doors
Lust, retreat, confusion
Death signifies the end and the beginning of life. Despite
the variances in our attitudes toward death, one thing about it remains
constant - it is the opposite of our current state. But what exactly is our
current state? Sure we are alive but what defines being alive? Is it merely the
pulsating of blood in our veins and the constant traveling of electrical currents throughout our flesh? Yes of course; but what else? Need there be something else
or are we perfectly content with the mechanical workings of our physique? I say no we are not! We are constantly in search of patterns as a way of
imposing order on otherwise chaotic universe. We are continuously in search of something more meaningful than mere tangible properties; something that defines our existential wisdom. That something is
not anything evident. That is, there isn't empirical data that can describe it
and categorize us in accord with it. It is an innate force that is the core essence
of our existence. At times we find it to be peculiar and maybe even painful and
confusing. So, we end up pulling ourselves from one end of our emotional
pallet and we push ourselves onto the other end - retreating to the end that is filled with happiness, lust and evermore profound
love. Thus, akin to revolving doors we are constantly spinning around and in
doing so we are creating the complex state of our existence at any given point
in time.
I really like that. A concept of revolving doors. One with many exits and not just two? There definitely exists two major moments in life: the best and worst states. Sometimes we just feel like crap and dont know what the heck do to. Other times we are overcome with joy and the will to do anything.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice of words, can got in a lot if different directions interpreting those. Nice metaphor with revolving doors, first time I have heard that used outside of politics.
