PURPOSE — A STRANGE WORD

why would nature want to convert grass into goat? 
what purpose is there in that? 
what purpose is there in me asking? 

i tell you, purpose has nothing to do with any of it. 
there is no nature with a purpose
there is no plan

there is just everything.

ONE OF THEM, YES

they wanting to see themselves as others see them
or, 
more
wanting others to see them as they see themselves.
yes that one 
that last one 
will be the 
sadder
one.

SOMETHING

we have the same issue with the conception of cosmos that we have conceiving life; they are both structured in time, they have a history, and the human mind is incapable of really understanding nothingness and timelessness, though we have invented zero. we cannot truthfully understand nonexistence at any scale. the meaning of our own death may be only too clear to us, as may be the various imagined ends of our universe, but to imagine no life and no cosmos at all — nothing at all — we have no language for that. nothingness is only relative, death is only relative. language is something and nothing cannot be contained in something. we are left with absence, another comparative. lack implies something missing. something is something the human mind cannot escape.
