Quote.



" The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever, and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hellbound as ourselves; go into oblivion. There is nothing else. Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It's us. Only us."

    Indira, do you believe in David Hume's hypothesis that there is no causality in this world? Science tries to study the cause-effect relationship behind events, but Hume says that it is all "coincidentally concomitant occurrences." Just because lighting fire heats up a room today, it does not mean, according to Hume, that the same causality will work tomorrow too. If it does, then it is just a matter of chance.

    I ask that question because the quote you wrote about - where existence is random and the world is rudderless and fate/destiny have no meaning, not even metaphysical - seems to fall in line with the Humean thesis. Do you believe in that too?

      Rather grim is it? Haha, oh well I do give credence to Hume's take on causation. I readily accept it in my mind but when faced with daily life it is hard to not be a slave of the expectations of habits\ cause and effects; always assuming if that happens, hence this will or must happen. The fact that we MUST have some sort of significance as existing thinking beings is way too ingrained in our psyche making it difficult to fully be one with Humean's take on human nature.

Surmise

Let the night hypnotize you my friend.. and convince you that the day is your foe. Let darkness which is assumed to be the root of all fear.. show you that the unknown and the unseen will not harm you. Let it surmise that light is an illusion. Let it teach you... that as long as there is fear within you heart.... you will never break free. Darkness is the existence of the nonexistent. And light is the non-existence of the existent. Come close; let me whisper into your ear…. And I’ll tell you that light is truly the root of your fears Darkness is the marrow of non-existence.. And non-existence is freedom’s true essence.

Spinning wheel

Being the person I am, I wonder, How much of this can I bear,any longer, It goes on and on, Like a spinning wheel,that will never stop. When will it stay peaceful? With no problems and worries. This life goes on and on, Never dwelling in time or moments, No two seconds of life are the same, I can't plead it to move faster, And I can't ask it to slow down. Life is a master of its own, Leading and directing itself. It is out of my control, way out of my reach, I can only nod and follow its tide, High and low,that's how it goes, Often catching me off guard. -lady indira-

Purge

When hollowness creeps up on you in a sure steady pace and you're up against the wall of your skull knowing there is no way out and it is going to get you somehow, panic and frenzy ensues. Low of lows, emptiness flows through the chambers of your heart like liquid nitrogen; freezing the warmth of your blood that's been gushing through you with life. You recognize this experience of being down in the gutters of bleakness. You want to purge it out but it remains within your rectum like dehydrated stool in what seems to be the most glorious form of constipation. Enema falls short of being effective as it only manages to soften the outermost surface of the stool of emptiness and let the little washed out waste dribble out of the anus with no sign of total assuagement.  I use enema here as an analogy for short-lived life purposes I have seemed to have been engrossed in throughout these years. None have seemed to hold my steadfastness toward seeing it through to measuring heights...
