What does it take to discover our madness
The credits rolled in unwittingly, slowly closing in on the ‘new idea’ that needed to be depicted, as the tunes of our minds shifted into a new paradigm of life, somewhat described as otherworldy, or irrational, but a handful who did underpin the idea fully, now sit in unconditional vows of acceptance, that in this vast span of the universe, the algorithms inside our minds do make it possible for something new to change our lives forever.
Yes, it may sound disconcerting, but we all may be ‘mad’, in the greater spec that is dust and nothing else.
If one has already decided on the ‘superiority’ or the ‘inferiority’ of a certain governing emotion based on the outcomes already observed, mostly antagonizing the negative traits that it impounds on, then we are surely missing out on a lot of existing, or the unfelt dispositions which may vary, depending on who or what is involved.
Simply, there is no fit strand of experience that is universally appealing to each one of us.
And to ask of the one next to us, or the one next to him, about who was it that truly lived when everything else so densely punctured our consciousness each time someone even thought of experiencing the parameters that define life, would undeniably leave us walking away from our own tears as if everything we did had to have been made meaningful or meaningless. It could only be either of the two.
So who is it that truly lived?
Maybe everything that is conventionally being upheld is outright definitive or maybe it’s not.
Perhaps it has always been inside our minds, locked away in a forgotten treasure hold of missed opportunities. Yes, the mind is such uncompromising and compromising at the same time. It doesn’t make sense right, but what is sense to you and I, and each one of us, if the very idea of sense has a different meaning, in let's say a parallel universe.
The answers may be in the little episodes of madness that we experience at some point in our lives. Just think, was it not madness when Newton first proposed the idea of gravity or Einstein formulating the theory of relativity. Was it not madness when the first forms of life, bacteria, evolved into much complex life systems like us?
It may seem prolifically likely that nothing of the ascribed set of ideas stands out in the ultimate test of time.
So who it is that truly lived?
Maybe it’s the person who acknowledges that the mind is uniquely interwoven to accept some degree of madness in our lives. In fact, we all may be mad but have not realized it yet.
The idea of discovering knowledge from a sea of stagnation is perhaps the ultimate goal. There are always two sides to a story, and so is our conviction to life, maybe, or maybe not.
It’s you and I, who get swept unto the depths of our own madness only to discover ourselves again.
