of interpretation of thought waves in the form of spoken or writte n
text are a characteristics of being human. This doesn't imply that
man survives better than, or is superior to other species. Where
simple creatures need chirps and growls, man must organize his
labors and manage his food chain with extreme delicacy, (a lousy
job of survival means extinction) ; he needs a "mental crutch"
(articulate command ments) to prevent his doing more harm than
good. Nobody is above the law.
To avoid being tr ite, I shall neither conflict with nor wish here
to resolve the argument as to whether man is superior because he
has the ability of intelligent speech. Let's look also at the other
side of our history, to wit, man is the most inept and not adequately
prepared for survival as a species, he talks much but many words
are hidden lies. Lies may be considered in the realm intelligences
of which man is possessed a s many are similarly obsessed with
destructiveness - a form of delusion by which he touts his
supre macy over his or her subject. Actually, humankind is
preoccupied with foolhardiness, war against the existence of the
significant other, striving to acquire resources such as rental
structures, and distractive affectations . What are we fed? Junk
food!
I AM debased by events from the past that encapsulate my
inharmonious or arrhythmic being soaring to lonely heights in the
eternity of timeless spacelessness. How to escape? To "not to be;"
neither my cultural, fa milial, nor professional associations in the
way I restrain my body as if detached from my being, but
impossible to achieve unless I AM. This brings us to the illusion
of pain; and this we know because sometimes it's insufferable, to
others tolerable, and to the strong of will, imperceptible. It exists
as a medium of good to spout forth, from defective; skin from the
painful scab. This could explain the patience of people required to
negotiate conflict resolution between parties that grow aggravated
with narrow-mindedness and incapable of facing more fru stration,
but with forbearance and careful handling can be coalesced into a
working harmony. The sage knows the route of painful discussion
is worth the effort if the benefits will be sought by talk.
From what I know much about it, t he Buddhist or Zen
philosophy reconfigures an individual to accept personal
nullification to a perfection; Oneness in opposite forces, ying-
yang. There is no need to define purpose intrinsic to the human is
being who/what/how he or she is meant to be every instant of now,
