How can it be that in this life that nothing and everything sometimes become one. If one wants a specific thing in this life, maybe more than anything ever wanted, what does that person do? When doing nothing or everything can possibly change the outcome of whether or not the person achieves the ever so wished thing?
I don't know the answer, even though I have wondered about this many times and in many situations in this life... Of course I have my assumptions, beliefs, superstitions, experiences, successes, failures... everything and nothing.
The strangeness of that fact is, for me, alarmingly clear now, that life, everything, gives us just that and nothing. Depending on where are at that exact moment in space and time... of course this is just my own meaning, taken from just my life, my own experience in this existence and absolutely nothing more. I probably am way off. . .
Who knows, maybe that has some of a Buddhist way of thinking or not? Anyway, maybe one has to make that choice somehow, to accept that life, the meaning of life, the secret, whatever, is to accept that everything is inter connected somehow, but at the same time, nothing and everything can decide the eventual fate of just about anything. The small things, the small things that people really don't think about at all in their day to day life, these are the things, or maybe it's the way we all react to them that creates us, the people we are??
The small things, what we say, how we say it, what we do and how we do that. What we don't do, what we don't say. These are in many ways our daily lives, the small interactions of ourselves, within our lives and the ones we have touched. Maybe one does not really realize the importance of all the small things until it's to late, or maybe that's everything, figuring that out, or maybe we find out that it's probably nothing and there we go, back at the drawing board and continue.
How can we know for sure when someone is for real? How can another human being really trust another?
Say an abused child for example. How does that person learn anything about love and trust when at an early age he or she starts getting the crap beaten out of them? The child, as a proven medical fact have a very hard time with those two things, if not an impossible task that will lead that person down the road of tough times. Unless.... unless the person can somehow pull himself or herself out of the reality he or she finds themselves in and survive.
What is that though? Survival? Does that sound or mean like everything or nothing? I bet I can make an argument for both and maybe it will lead me into some better form of understanding about this life... Because I have to be honest... if it show's to be the later, then I guess it's all over.....
