Talking to myself about “radical”
Important word…
especially today, in light of
recent events…
and lets add on “belief”…
radical belief….
Hmmm, I think that I die, that is,
that I cease living…
Is this radical seeing that most
people don’t believe this…
Does radical belief then come down
to a numbers game…
What MOST people believe…
Or does logic or truth or fact
dictate radical belief…
Hmmm, seems evident that I die, I
have this instinct to live but why would I have it…why would I have a fight or flight
response if I never really die…
So strange…that most people believe
they are immortal and never die…
Isn’t this a radical belief…
so odd…
what other radical beliefs might
flow from believing you never die…
I mean how could life have value if
it never ends…
Life can’t be precious if it’s
always available, never ending…
Maybe if believing we are immortal
leads to the idea that life is cheap on this plane…
And can therefore easily be taken,
ended, shot up, cut up, blown up, sniffed out, burned out???
