Om

what would it be like if everyone had to learn how to play guitar,
and if you didn't play it well enough, you got killed?

but it's kind of like that in real life,
as life is a struggle for survival,
only the skill, instead of guitar,
is catching and eating prey,
building shelter, and the rest. . .
and not eating poisonous berries.

But now the game is more a human one,
one of alliances, and wars,
in literal terms with guns and tanks,
and psychologically, with almost everything else.

where do you stand?

as far as morality goes, there's a battleground
but the sides are not clear -
but the essential pivoting point is power -
should one acquire it?
there are capable, nay genius, brilliant persons on both sides,
and second to power, is pleasure;

anyway it's complex and simple - infinitely so -
just like all things.

as always with human things it is shadowy,
and temporary,
leaders come and go -
people are convinced by people;

someone takes front and acts
like they know what to do,
and convince others,
who swim along for awhile, convinced,

but eventually it peters out -
they stop swimming and again start
wandering aimlessly, for the 'leader'
didn't know anything special anyway.

And longer-term dictatorships, those
happen because of human behavior,
complex and simple as it is -
and other things like the pyramids happen this way, too.


Along with the other pivotal points, the third
would probably be innocence vs. cynicism;
whether the world is beautiful and pure, and good,
or if it is waylaid with danger and bad;

There are other opposites and these
make up human conceptual understanding.
They don't have any meaning except as we understand it,
Although some things such as power are easily
translatable to other animals, and human's games are
all there in their basic form, in most of the rest of the animals.



And of course the answer, the truth is, that
the universe is infinitely good,
that renewal power is infinite,
and that life is infinite.

Evil and darkness will always extinguish itself
because after it cannot kill any more external life
it will turn on itself and eradicate its own existence.

The universe is infinitely good and beautiful,
and power is also a part,
and if used well, is good,
if used for ill, is bad.

The best and most brilliant of humanity
are really the most worthy of leadership -
If love and competency are equally extremely evolved
in a person, that is whom I consider best. .
In common enterprises, they will have the most success if the best are in charge,
and the least chance of success, if the worst are in charge.


Just some thoughts. .

These songs are beautiful and so, so lovely. . It's not easy for me to find a random song by him and not love it.
