Life's a cipher, cipher of zing. And cipher's a pun, and one you live.
We'd know cipher from Dan Brown, of course. I needn't elaborate uselessly. But Shakespeare meant nothing by cipher. Really nothing. I mean: Zero, zilch, nought, etc. Nothing. So life is a cipher of zing. And yours is the side of the pun to live. And yours is the choice for yours is your life. A pun. What more? Your life is a race if you call it so. Or it maybe a dream if you dream some more. Or a test. Or a game. Or a camera. Or a fairy tale. Or a coin. Or a struggle. Or a walking shadow. Or a roller coaster (that only goes up my friend- #JohnGreen). Or a song or a sea or a sunset. Or a knife or a kite. Or a bicycle or a boat or a box of chocolates. Or an arrow or an apple. Or a piano. Or a highway. Or whatever Google suggests. Sometimes I think perspectives of life are the most abhorrent cliches ever. And these perspectives present to your mind a giddying gif or something. Collectively they become a kaleidoscopic mirage. (A mirage still.) These perspectives. But life again is a kaleidoscopic mirage. So perspectives of life become life itself. Or life becomes its own perspective. That's how much perspective matters. Your life is an intersection of entities impalpable rendered palpable by virtue of existence. Love or loss or zest or zilch. Entities infinite. They exist independent of the human mind. [Oh Mathematical Realism!] One common to all is time. So time is an intersection of the individual existing intersections we are. And our life is our time. Hah. One more. I think it is a Fated Uncertainty like you. Like me. An ephemera. You can't ever escape THAT categorization. All is ephemeral. Fated. Uncertain. But every uncertainty has its own principle. (Forget Heisenberg's). Think of yours, perhaps? And I know too the truest definition of life from the Best Book in the worlds: "Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion." (Al-Qur'an- 3:185)

I watched a presentation about Zeno of Elea and much as I didn't want to go crazy about yet another random crazy science, I did anyway.
Not that I'm particularly crazy about going crazy about crazy things. I'm just prone to craziness. So here's my pathetic (if you've read the Liar 's paradox), really original (if you haven't already made it up yourself), (very) annoying and (literally) meaningless paradox: "I don't mean what I'm saying." Let's see: If this is true, then I mustn't mean that I don't mean what I'm saying. That makes it false. Or If this is false, then that means that I mean what I'm saying. And what am I saying? I don't mean what I'm saying. Which makes it true. Which again means that I don't mean it. Which makes it false.... And this is pure craziness. ;P |
