"Sitting here, I didn't think it was good to question what was happening, but I'll come up with an answer! At this moment I lost myself - do you know what I mean? You may have heard the music made by people, but not heard the music made by the earth. You may have heard the music made by the earth, but not heard the music made by the heavens."
There is no "other" without a "me." There is no "me" without something to grab hold of. That seems easy enough to understand, but if it's not understood there's no reason to do anything else. It might seem like there's some perfect truth, but what's special can't really be observed clearly. It's possible to have personal beliefs, but not to allow them take an actual form - to have feelings about things but not to create dogma around them.
A hundred bones, nine openings and six organs complete our existence. Which of those do we feel closest to? Do you express joy for all of them? Do you cherish one over another? Don't they all act as your servants? Are any of those servants capable enough to control one of the others? Do any of them give themself over as a servant and accept another as their ruler? Does a truly perfect ruler exist among them? If we try to extablish that kind of heirarchy, their working relationship would become useless and decrease to the point where nothing would work in perfect harmony. Once we've received this body, we don't lose the use of it until we've exhausted it.
Living things destroy each other and make waste of each other. They wear themselves out by galloping all over the place, and nothing is able to stop them. Isn't that sad! After a whole life of battling and fighting, they still don't achieve the success they were reaching for. They've tired themselves out completely with all their battling, and still don't have a clue how to get out of it. That's definitely something to be sad about! What advantage is it for anyone to speak about Immortality? If their shape is so twisted that their minds can't make sense any more, that's really incredibly sad! Are people originally born with those kinds of ridiculous thoughts? Am I the only one who thinks that's ridiculous, or are there others who agree?
