To Life

Life is such a curious thing. It is everything to us. It is the harbinger of all the pain and suffering that we will ever feel. Yet is also the bearer of all joy as well. Each life is different in some respects and almost identical in others. I suppose this is where the snow flake analogy “each life is unique when examined up close, but the all blend together when looked at a distance, like snow” would come into play.

            The element that is varying from human to human, although necessary, I not the focus of this, but rather the human variable in us all. The X and Y in the human formula. Some dedicate their lives to pursuing the pleasures of this world. Others tend to seek the material wealth of the Earth. Many choose the path of love as their own, and seek nothing more than a partner to help them through life. Some Pursue knowledge and others take it away, while myriads more seek salvation and enlightenment.

            As for myself, I seek one thing above all others, though has hopeless a quest it may be. This thing I seek is perfection or what I understand is the meaning of the word. As I have stated in previous writings that I admire the symbol of a machine, its cold calculating perfection unhampered by petty morality or distorting emotions. This unchanging perfection is such a beautiful thought to me, so much so that I meditate on it daily. However it is impossible for me to see such a goal for myself. I am after all only human and as a result need human things like emotion, companionship, life. This brings us back to where we started, and though I will never see my concept of perception in this life, I will still learn to enjoy the human in me the best I can.
