What You Don't Understand, Life Does
/
What the ordinary call “consciousness” is the last to know. And none of them can ever grasp the significance of this unholy information. (For, don’t you see, by the time they did, it would be too late.)
There is sin for the Few, and this sin is repetition; the useless repetition of thoughts, feelings or actions, including any suffering thereof. And that concludes my religious statement for this century.
What you don’t understand, Life does. At its lowest level it entails your lack of understanding regarding the lives of others combined with their inability to understand why you can’t understand them. Thus, in the trilateral universe from whence it all arises, nothing passes unseen, and all is understood.
The nervous systems of all creatures are constructed so that their first, and primary attraction is for their own kind. And you thought gossip and “people watching” was a social phenomenon. But, then again, you once believed there was such a thing as a social phenomenon.
I once heard a gambler say, “Everyone can’t have the edge.” But consider further: Everyone has an apparent edge over the next person who, in turn. has some other kind of edge over the first person, and they both have an edge over third parties, who in turn say, “Is there no one you can trust in this game?” Yeah, and why is it always “dealer’s choice”?
