The Ultimate Reality beyond Our Comprehension, Senses, Feelings, Words

We are one of the many species that finds life on this wonderful planet we call earth. We think we are at the apex of creation and lord it over others. We allow them to be our fellow travelers but also dictate our terms. It is our way or the highway for the rest, at our mercy. We have come a long way from our origins whatever that be. Of course, we have many a theory with no eye witness to substantiate them. Also we have a variety of beliefs or none at all, with each vying for the pole position. That is the reality we have created around us. Then, what is the ultimate reality? How much do we really know? According to me, almost nothing! Life and death are born at the same time, strange bedfellows with life giving way in the end. When we are born, death is the exit. It lurks behind our awareness, ready to dictate our time here. So we are at its mercy just like other species. We come with awareness, senses; feelings, and are able to articulate them with words and speech. That could be just scratching the surface, but what we do not know could be as vast as the universe and even beyond! It would take eons, generations, to get out of the starting block of the whole process. Instead of making some headway, we adopt a frog in the well approach that what we know is all that matters and others should fall in line or else to hell with them though they may well end up in a better place compared to the bigots. It is time to shed petty ego, narrow outlook, to pursue the ultimate reality that should keep us riveted. Don’t you think we should join forces, pool our resources, to pursue a higher reality and thereby find more meaning in our lives? Image: Beyond Our Horizon from free media site Pexels

@Vikingswest1 I never meant that. Only more cooperation than confrontation.

@Shiva49 How do you get Arabs and Israeli people to cooperate? How you you get Communists and Capitalists to cooperate? How do you get Liberals and Conservatives to cooperate? Even if forced, you can't bring opposing ideals together. Never have. Never will.

I can only hope I live long enough to see peace in the world, but the way things seem to be going, I don’t see that happening, unfortunately. Too many lunatics, nuts, oddballs, huge egos, etc. still walking the earth. It’s depressing.

Yes, and they dictate the terms too. They keep adding fuel to the fire of hatred, animosity, fear, suspicion. Hope springs eternal and can never be extinguished as it is lit deep inside us.

That way we can chart out a new path of cooperation leading to bliss. Time for a clean break from our bickering past and present.

Thanks Disha, where there is a will, there is a way. And that approach will benefit 99%, but not those who benefit from wars.

I think our human nature makes that difficult, too much self-interest gets in the way.
