Fun is Fun
/From one view, the difference between the ordinary and the Few is that while everyone mentally runs around in circles, the ordinary believe that they’re going in a straight line.
Fun is fun,
and info is info;
(Info’s amusement,
but few ever catch on.)
Dogs enjoy chasing their tail, (but–jeeze), they don’t take it to be a metaphysical activity.
One man mused: “How is it possible that I spent fifty years reading about enlightenment, talking about enlightenment, thinking about enlightenment, and claiming that I sought enlightenment, without ever realizing what it’s all about?” He answered his own question: “It was possible because any time that you’re reading, talking or thinking about enlightenment, you can’t comprehend what it’s actually about.” And right there he has expressed the distinction between those who try to wake up, and those who get beyond the stage of “trying.”
One dog looked at his tail and mused: “It is entertaining, but it is not very enlightening.”
It’s a shame the canine doesn’t share our aim, or that one observation. It could have “set him free”!
(“Arf, arf! Thanks be to Zeus–I see the light!”)
