from the mind of critic-4/14/17

From the mind of critic: “If life is all about discovering what the cornucopia mish mosh of unknown unknowns means, then what will our life mean we get answers? When things we don’t know we don’t know become things we do know we do know, does our purpose dissappear? If we’ve defined ourselves as dissidents, rebelling against the powers that be, and then either the powers topple or we become the power, do we feel hopelessly lost because there’s nothing to rebel against? Or do we view this as the object of all our struggles, the finish line we’ve been working toward, making us more than ready to take over because it’s exactly what we’ve been preparing for since we decided to stand up? Finding answers and solutions to long inbedded problems has always been our goal. Where we can mislead ourselves is thinking we’ll get to a place where we have all the answers. Because all we discover as we become more knowledgable, is more questions. Kind of the opposite of the rebel thing. Where we rebel against the power for so long, that once we become the power, we find that we can’t rebel against the same things anymore, because we have become the ones that people rebel against. Once we realize that life is rarely as it seems and objects are always closer than they appear, we’ll see that as soon as we get set in our ways, life has a funny way of coming around to smack us in the head with a 2×4. Life is all about searching for answers and rebelling against unjust laws, but it’s also about adapting to our surrounding environment. That’s how we survive as a species” 🙂
