Fraggle Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The sun came up today. It was great. Not a cloud in the sky. An autumn chill was in the air. None of the above really matters. Cloudy, windy, rainy, sunny, overcast, mildly warm, snow. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the sun goes down. It should come back up the next day, or maybe not. That really doesn't depend on the sun itself. It depends on the person who would be waking up. So how to make that happen? And does it really matter if the sun comes up? Outside of the ramifications of the actual sun not arriving on dew drop mornings, should it bother us if we don't see it. Sure there are people locked away in either a prison of an underground sex bunker. But we need not speak for them right now. You know what? We might wrap back into this later on, but not right now. So you're there drinking your limited time on this rock away. It's enjoyable at times. It's depressing as well. Now you can substitute out the drinking with anything else you may be wasting your time with. Maybe your hobby is reading the random musings of me. I can't fault you for that. Either way we go on and on and on until we don't. The sun doesn't rise. Well it does, but you or I may or may not be around to see it. And isn't that the entire point? That the sun rising is your vision of the world happening. Unless you're blind. I'm assuming you're not reading this if you are. Sorry if your hobby is to pay someone to read this to you. You might feel bad. I won't. You shouldn't. Eating enough. Sleeping enough, Drinking enough. It's enough. Just enough to see the sun rise again and again. Until you don't. But we rarely ever get the chance to not see it coming. Only the lucky few do. Those are the people who know their sun isn't rising tomorrow. We should be happy for them. But instead we pity and pray for them to get better to see the sun tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Okay. Quote "Your cattle will die, your friends will die, you will die. But your reputation, if it is good, will never die." -excerpt from the Havamal "We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man." -Oswald Spengler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapsie Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 So basically, don't feel bad for those who won't see the sun tomorrow. Relish in the thought that they will experience something that we will all experience one day, but not now. IIiiiinnteresting. 1 Quote We have seized the means of production.
