RE: No Time (repost)

Hm ... I see you are using the term "we" a lot. Have you tried to speak in the "I"- (or "you") form more extensively? I noticed that this changes the form of how I think and express myself. I try to avoid the "we" form as much as I can, but I fail sometimes in doing so.

There will always be unknowns, thank the heavens for that, but we need, for our basic survival, order in the model of the universe we build in our mind. We can't escape this, so trying to argue otherwise is fruitless.

I welcome it that you say, thank the heavens for the unknowns. :)
What I don't think I need for my immediate survival is to find order in the proverbial universe. It's a philosophical question for me on which I can contemplate or take my time to deal with - while others provide me with the basics ;-)

The base for my survival is food and shelter and at least a minimum of human company. But only temporarily. The rest comes on top of it. Cultural integration, social meaning and so on - makes us human. Looking up in the skies and ask myself what live means, I find very different from looking up in the skies and appreciate the sheer space and momentum of this experience of the vastness and inexplicability of the universe.

It can become quite a trap to think about the meaning of live, for one can get lost in thoughts instead of simply living this life.

I can sit in a car and curse the traffic. I also can sit in the car and appreciate that it transports me from here to there. Both happens, both is reality.

What we're lost in, is the idea that there's no such thing as universal truth, that there's only 7.5 billion individual truths; this kind of culminated in the Trump press-secretary talking about "alternative facts".

Oh, I SEE. NOW it becomes more clear to me, what you are opposing. :) Some call this nihilism or give it other names, "post something". Of course, there is a truth. But the moment you want to formulate it, put it into language or written maximes or manifestations, you lose the very essence of what you would "truly" like to express. You know the moments of truths as much as I know them. They appear not in scientific papers, they appear in art and encounters with living beings and nature, if you ask me.

Maybe this anecdote reflects it better (telling it from memory):
Two monks sit silently on a mountain top. Suddenly one of them says: "Look at the majesty of the magnificent mountains, the beauty of the landscape, the grace of the flying eagle!" The other: "It's all true. I just wish you hadn't said anything."

I have not read yet the linked post. Maybe later. Thank you.
