The strangest thing came over me for the last couple of days. I've been researching mind bending stuff that goes down to the very core of behavior and beyond. It's been incredibly helpful in restructuring my "mental map" but at the same time there's been such huge foundational changes in my thinking I'm left questioning existence deeper than I ever have before.
Let me back up for a moment so you're not totally lost. In one of my earlier writings I said that NOTHING has meaning until we attach meaning to it. This concept totally floored me. Think about all of the things that happen in our life that we attach meaning to?
If someone smiles, if someone winks, if someone talks slurred Wholesale NFL Jerseys China , if someone looks up at you and holds out their hand.........
Your old blanket, your old photos, your favorite song, your first car Wholesale NFL Jerseys , your first love, that old scent.......
Meanings are EVERYWHERE! We've formed them as a way to deal with the world. I believe meanings are an emotional expression that we impose on the physical world. In other words, we feel emotions - they are very real. So in order to deal with the world on a deeper (emotional) level we form an emotional connection with things. The things themselves may have no feeling or no meaning without us but the meaning we give them makes them come alive!
If you're still with me I'm about to take you on an intellectual ride. (You thought you were already on it didn't you?) I traced meaning all the way down to life itself. If nothing has meaning until we attach our emotions to it, does that mean that life and death itself have no meaning? Wow right? Are you with me? LIFE and DEATH with no meaning? Can you see why I was in a funk? That can't possibly be right? Do you feel that it can't possibly be?
That would mean by some bizarre mathematical miracle the ingredients for life randomly mixed together in circumstances ideal only in a scenario that would come around 1 in infinite. That life was as random and meaningless as the piece of gum you stepped on today while heading to work.
Of course I couldn't possibly settle for that answer. If nothing more than to give my life meaning I had to find a better answer! Part of knowing life is knowing death. I've spent so much time thinking and studying life that I've neglected the meaning of death. Death has always just been one of those scary deadlines that's going to end all my fun. Death has always been a rather inconvenient item at the bottom of my to-do list.
Today as I studied death on the internet I saw more blood and gore in a day than you'd see in a year as a battlefield surgeon. I'm exaggerating of course but I assure you there's no shortage of death "research" on the internet. If you can stomach it. Of course not everyone who downloads this stuff is going at it with such an open mind. Talk about "meaning" when you think of "death" what do you feel about it? Most people associate death with loss or the ultimate confrontation with pain. And think about how death has been used - it's a PENALTY for serious crimes. Can you imagine if there was a cave in the mountains that everyone had to go into if they committed a serious crime? How would you begin to feel about that cave? What kind of meaning would you give it? That would be a pretty scary place you'd never want to visit wouldn't it!?
And there's more! Pain is bad right? I mean we avoid pain. What happens when we experience LOTS of pain? We feel like we're... dying. We don't actually die - we just feel like we're close. We're on "death's door step" We've associated pain with death Wholesale Jerseys China Free Shipping , when in all actuality pain only happens in life! When you die there is no more pain! When the pain becomes too much in life - you die!
Okay so now I'm ready to make my point. I've made several already - but I mean my biggest point of the night. Are you ready? Is death a good thing or a bad thing? Did you answer that question yet? I'm sorry it wasn't a fair question, I tricked you. Death is neither! Death is neutral. We judge death within the frame of life. If we were in the frame of death we might not want to live! Life would be the scary thing. Now you might say, "Hold on James I was with you up until now, now you've gone off the deep end and you've al.
