Two Life Lessons from an Idiot

This is documentation for me.

You may be reading it by the election of your volition,

Which is lesson number one, the power of choice

There are two forces or systems of laws in our universe worth noting

Physics or what some will call nature and

Existential volition or what some will call free will

This basically forms two base camps living and non-living  

Which squadron one ends up with at the moment is for the most part irrelevant,

As if driven deeper you are on both, have been on both and will continue to be on both

Whether one chooses to acknowledge it or not, but that is not the lesson for today  

How long a person is living in this iteration is typically correlated with their ability

To erode their level of ignorance, however the two are not necessarily commensurate,

As one of the first grand insults students are afforded is that something older, more complex,

Is by default higher in obtained wisdom than a less complex or younger being  

The revolution of youth is a vastly underrated asset compared to the complacency of age

Complacency leads to a living-death where one ceases to pierce the callus of learning

Subsisting in what assumes to be a comfortable truth, when it should be obvious to most

That one could spend every potential second of a human life and still be vastly short of time  

To experience, encounter and absorb the diminishment of ignorance of even a small percentage

Of the humans who have come before us, let alone create a novel thought, for most originality

Is just the dusted doppelganger of a dead man’s progeny of another dead woman absent the advertising or notoriety to be dubbed theft or duplication. 

So in the second lesson is in reading, absorbing, searching and sculpting the existential choice

To search, it is not all together relevant where to start searching with the exception that once a detour like religion or political fascism, or totalitarian doctrine pulls one further away from the balance between the laws of physics and the laws of existential volition one becomes lost. 

This exploration can feel like learning only to be later found that circumstances reverse themselves through an individual choosing that these quests require a commensurate amount of un-learning.  This in some ways brings one not back to the point of origin, but happily can allow one to exponentially catch up with a velocity of absorption only afforded by the certitude correcting such paths in life creates.   

This is the economics of mistakes and why some of life’s greatest flaws and disasters turn into molding the most remarkable humans.
