Rules! What Rules?

If you have been shafted by the gods

What can you do?

Logic is useless, prevarication pointless, lying impossible.

Whatever is 'IS', and you deal with it.

 

I think there is more to 'LIFE' than the physical.

I accept 'SCIENCE: to observe, to test, to conclude, to know, to alter'.

Our senses are programmed according to 'rules'

As is our entire physical body.

Including our brain basically, but not wholly.

A very strange organ, the brain -

Master and Servant simultaneously.

We postulate endlessly about its functions

That we have rigidly 'tested in the tube':

'We know the brain'!

 

HA!

Its absolute power lies in the 'unknow-ability' of it.

Its total weirdness.

So - I think 'SOMETHING' exists, some 'OTHER'

That transcends molecular structure.

And we long for it

As the greatest treasure possible.

 

We search for it endlessly.

Not necessarily from 'Follow the Leader'

Or a 'Guide Book'.

I think it is only YOU

Who can crack the 'Miracle of Life'

By searching 'under' where you 'stand'.

Only the Honest acknowledge it -

Only the Bold seek it -

Only the Simple find it.

I do not consider that contradictory.

What a splendid response. I'm never sure when I've pushed reader tolerance too far. But I always rationalize; we are all thinkers, or we wouldn't 'write'.

Good point 'fish', although it 'shifts' the word order.

I was actually considering 'stand' as metaphor as well, as in 'where do you place yourself' in any situation, physical, social or mental/intellectual.

Hi Cynthia - an interesting read.
An understanding of 'understanding' - may it not also come from above, that is from that - under - which we stand? And if it comes from that - on- which we stand does all ground give right understanding? Of course we all understand that we are not talking here about geology or meteorology. ?
Go well

This just 'came' from the flash thought that 'understand' is virtually 'under where you stand'. Out of the blue it was. So obvious! But not considered before. And you know me! 'Well, isn't that interesting!' And I was OFF.

You WOLers put up with a lot.

Bless you, Dorothy.
