quick thoughts on blindness

 

(pretend, pretend in pic above the female is blinded by darkness; lack of sensation, the absence of information. while the desirous male is blinded by the authority of his perception, the intrusion of unnecessary options, his confidence in all stimulation.)

we are blind now

what reasons?

i can think of two and the gradient between them is great and also not great.

firstly, and more well known: lights too dim, say, not enough light. too much darkness. that's ignorance, i'm near it.

then there's the second reason: lights too bright, say, too much luminescence. not enough darkness. that's extraneousness-- (the superfluous information). assurednesss, hubris, etc...

everything in between is still just some combination of two wrong views.

even this is wrong. and precisely.

tWell, you know I will send you messages big sisterdon't kill your dog at allrecentl;y aggressive/just because concernings  the baby! I hope. I hope not.

The message will vibrate here, online and somehow, because it's been written the potential meaning might find you. And the proud message below as well. The intention released.

For today my sis had her first child and I don't know if I can post his pic on the interweb without consent and without consent I can't, I won't. I won't ask, I mean, beacuse that would be silly. It would be assuming anything with a soul reads this ba-log besides me, and I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen but for what it's worth, whether is be reminiscing at a future date or just trying to figure out all and any details related to birthdays, er' birth dates, I will proclaim to every digit and pixel, I'll shout without CAPS that my newphew was born on this day and his nose was like my sissy-sis's and his face was like his pops. I'm glad to have met him! And so happy for everyone involved! (um 'specially the main players)

"If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination."

"You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere." -Buddhist Quote
