A Worldview

March 26th, 2024

I only feel compassion for my fellow human beings, and compassion for myself. I don't blame myself for anything, and I don't think I blame anyone else for anything either.

In the context of people, and what they are, I believe we are nothing more than bags of chemicals. Struggling bags of chemicals.

Although the emotions rage inside of me, disqualifying me from humanity, I find solace in looking forward.

Dreams

Now I understand the words "I cannot tell which is the dream."

For me, I cannot tell what I could be.

For me, I cannot tell what I should be.

For me, I cannot tell as I am.

If I cannot know the dream, and neither can I trust the thoughts that color it, then I must live the dream as it is.

Color

Dazai believed in the hold of words; Mishima turned to the flesh; I followed both and met the dream.

What is there to latch onto, but the cold steel of emptiness?

Perhaps grandma was right. I'll go and meditate.

Is consciousness the siren's song?
