The Painted Veil
The poet Percy Shelly wrote: "Lift not the Painted Veil which those who live call life."
It seems to me that the saying: ignorance is bliss, could be a good choice in life.
To awaken to find your self stranded on a precipice with sheer drops on every side,
is what can happen if one seeks the true reality. It's like that cartoon where the character keeps running after the edge of a cliff and doesn't fall because he is not aware of the cliff.
But some people can not begin to live unless they first know the truth. They are those who can not know how to live unless they know the truth. They want to know there's a cliff even if it is not a happy realization.
This Blog is the red pill that will lift the veil and take away all that you live for replacing it with nothing except the truth.
Stay tuned.
You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
"A white rabbit is pulled out of a Top Hat. Because it is an extremely large rabbit, the trick takes many billions of years. All mortals are born at the very tip of the rabbit's fine hairs, where they are in a position to wonder at the impossibility of the trick. But as they grow older they work themselves even deeper into the fur. And there they stay. They become so comfortable they never risk crawling back up the fragile hairs again. Only philosophers embark on this perilous expedition to the outmost reaches of language and existence. Some of them fall off, but others cling on desperately and yell at the people nestling deep in the snug softness, stuffing themselves with delicious food and drink.
'Ladies and Gentlemen,' they yell, 'we are floating in space!' But none of the people down there care.
'What a bunch of trouble makers!' they say. And they keep on chatting: Would you pass the butter, please? How much have our stocks risen today? What is the price of tomatoes?" P 17.Sophie's World

Then the stock market crashes, the store shelves run out of butter because the transportation system has shut down, and the tomatoes spoil either by drought or because we are too spoiled ourselves to tend to them. This is where a "slap" wakes us up. Ignorance is bliss... up to a point. Ostriches with their heads in the sand do come up for air eventually. Just as air is necessary for the ostrich to survive, so, too, is waking up necessary for the spirit. I guess it would be convenient to blame someone else for inventing the "snooze button", but isn't it our own device? It only seems to delay what is inevitable, but I guess it is of the accord "all things in their own time".
That line from that movie "A Few Good Men" is playing in my head now... "I want the truth!"..."You can't handle the truth!" I guess some aren't ready for it, but how few are? At least "a few good men"... such as you. :)
Wow, this paragraph is good, my sister is analyzing these kinds of things, thus I am going to tell her.
