Insignificant....


We spend our live fighting our own insignificance.
But there is a Universal power in the insignificant..
There is no difference between the insignificance that makes up the entire universe and the insignificance of a fly.
The idea of that is just unacceptable to humans.. We fight for our significance.
politically, socially, economically and religiously.
We find a need to justify or explain our insignificance. We do it.. through God, through conspiracies, through wealth, control and power. All subjecting us, and causing and creating our own insignificance. Humans have a great propensity to make something that doesn't matter...matter.
For other things besides humans have been given the easy road of not having to question their insignificance. Yet everything is all the same
A choice, we make, in which our happiness is dependent..
The ability to find our significance within our own insignificance.
There is no design for our insignificance, no cause, no creation..
We are just the same as everything else in the Universe.

Klaus Schwab wrote what the future holds.
YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY".
The question is.. is Klaus Schwab a conspirator or an idealist.
It could be a conspiracy of the rich, to get richer... but that doesn't make sense they are already rich.
I prefer to believe it comes from the understanding.. That owning something is not what makes you happy. There is no significance in owning something, only the insignificance of that which you own.
That one's significance can only come from owning oneself.

Is there not significance in insignificance in being part of the whole, of awareness resting in humility? [Perhaps I have gone off at a tangent (?) ]

Existentialism differs from nihilism because individuals can create meaning in their lives, which is impossible under nihilism.

    Quoting  :

You somehow believe you have an ability to come up with answers to complex issues. but fail to understand the simplest ideas.
As you find "the conspiracy" and believe there are those who would TAKE power. By nefarious methods. And say the prize is the power. The prize becomes YOU and the power becomes the power over YOU..
The credibility of it.. Is in the belief they can do that..
But the irony, and the truth of it's credibility is that to believe it.. You must think you can do it too.. but choose not to.
You are not alone...
It's life defining.. And as you would never do it their way...You do it your way everyday.
So what is the real power?...What is the real wealth?
If you can't find it in yourself... you will not find it in others.

We are given CHOICE that define our significance.
Like wealth, power, control of others, titles, wins, and intellect.
When our significance.. comes with What no one else can take or make from you
Like Humility, compassion, integrity, humanity, equality, empathy, respect, and happiness
There is only a false significance in that which can make one.....
Angry, vengeful, greedy, selfish, hateful, distrusting, materialistic, and unhappy.
Nobody can make you that way.... You choose to be that way. You choose to become insignificant by a false significance. ....
One of the great definers of one's significance is LOVE. It's not a choice it's a definer. Nobody can Make you love or TAKE your love from you.. But you can bury it if you choose.
I wrote a poem yesterday about those who bury love...The burying of love in Wyoming

Those who cannot hear a tree fall in the wood
Or see the purple mountains majesty
That birds can fly and they never could
And hating them for it.. is not a travesty

For those who cast the first stone in sin
And do unto others before they do unto you
And only with someone's defeat. can they win
And telling Lies is what the truth will do

Who cannot feel the wind in their hair
Nor hear a baby cry
To not smell the roses every where
and Never ask themselves why?

I wrote this not as an observer.. but because i have been there and done that.

I give you credit where credit is not derserved
I give you respect....when only you are served
I give information you don't heed
And begin to wonder...if you know how to read.

Do you know your own kind?
those with such a narrow mind
It's not in the absolute that I mock ya
It's just like the Absolute in my vodka

And so I must now forget it
not regret it, that you don't get it.
And hope the reason you don't understand
Is ONLY about my being a man.

Yes creating the wrong meaning...does not negate there is a meaning

It's not so much that existential nihilism doesn't exist. It just occupies too much of her mind.
It's typical that it's exists in her mind.. only because it doesn't exist. God and existential nilihism play on the same team. They both undefine the self- defining....

Home owning is fast becoming a thing of the past for young people starting out.
Corporations are buying up real estate at very high prices.-----driving individuals out of the housing market.

The corporations can pay any $ amount because investors pour $$$ into the corporations and expect to see purchases regardless of $ amount.

The problem with all of it is that the government will be the future owner of homes rather than individuals OR corporations.

This will happen as a result of the next stock market crash when the government bails out the corporations AGAIN and takes control of the real estate holdings.

I understand in Communism the government owns housing.-------- You may not own anything and you may not be happy.

Schwab may have gotten it HALF RIGHT. LOL
Applied Economics.

Existential nihilism differs significantly from nihilism. Existential Nihilism is not significantly different from existentialism. Nihilism says life has no meaning or purpose. The existential nihilist agrees, but says that we can create our own meaning. The significant difference is that a nihilist says there is no hope for meaning while the existential nihilist says there is hope for meaning and that we can create meaning.

I understand that you gain comfort and ego-fulfillment from believing that you "GET IT" and others don't.....The diminutive size of this pond facilitates your delusion that confusion is the same as profundity..........My first comment was meant as an agreement to your blog.......but, per usual, you took it as a negation and proceeded to insult.

*********
Existential nihilism is the philosophical theory that life has no intrinsic meaning or value.[1] With respect to the universe, existential nihilism suggests that a single human or even the entire human species is insignificant

Oh, how happy the world would be if everyone was an Existential Nihilist

*******************
You have never understood that disagreement is much better than agreement in which the agreer doesn't know WTF I'm talking about.

I don't insult you.. I take no pleasure in it...You know what you know...You just don't know about what you don't know.. and more important don't give a shit.
If i gave this blog a better title it would be...
Finding significance in the insignificant. How you don't do it, how you do it wrong. and how to actually make it meanigful

You know what's the most weird?......The way you keep telling me about myself, as if you know me...Do you make these giant leaps of assumption with everyone?......It's beyond odd......

I live ......Have lived my entire life in the enjoyment of and creation of simple beauty......appreciation of the significance of the insignificant...And you would know that if you paid attention.......Good grief......I have been posting blogs about it for over a decade, but you have never noticed, because you only pay attention to the machinations of your own brain............what comes out of your own mouth......your own cleverness....I hope you and your mirror are happy together.......

You can see.. but you can not feel.
finding beauty in the beautiful is no great feat.
finding beauty in the ugliness is!

When can begin to understand that the subject is not about YOU... and it's not about me...It's about US.

I have told you .. I believe in duality, relativity, margins and equality.. Yet you keep telling me, those are things i don't believe......because you don't believe them..

We talk about insignificance....I will say to you there is insignifcance in beauty...
But there is significance in how beauty makes you feel...

You fear the beauty you see can be taken away...I say that's not beauty.

The real story?

there's a couple things i know to be true..about the "real story"...
I am not the victim in it.
Life is not a conspiracy.
A perpetrator perpetrates his own sin
and victim chooses to live in a victim "hood"

I think religion and the bibles is the greatest conspiracy known to mankind.
Yet it has no bearing on me. It makes no difference to me..Yet i can accept it makes a difference to others...so be it!
As they try to convert me, to tell me they KNOW the truth. I don't try to cvonvince them it's a LIE a conspiracy.. I try to tell them.. I don't know if it's the truth, but in my way of determining what is the truth it doesn't fit.. What they hear is I am telling them they are lying.

so let me give you the same answer I would give them...
I don't know if it's the truth, but in my way of determining what is the truth it doesn't fit..
So .. truth brings faith..With truth one can have faith in the truth.. I have no faith in what you are saying. And the only way I ever could is..... not hear it, or read it, but to SEE it for myself.

The significance of insignificance. It's quite mindblowing knowing we are made of stardust through violently exploding stars in our galaxy.

I view the significance of our insignificance.. as the world within the world

The universe and it's stars relative to a single stardust particle.. Although a single starduat particle may seem relatively insignificant.. The is still a universe and world inside that one stardust particle.

The universe is measure by it's expansion and the size of it's expansion.. but there is an alternate universe in size and contraction.. if we can discover what is the smallest in the universe, we will have discovered what is the largest.
So that which we Believed is the most insignificant becomes the most significant.

Yes, makes sense
