On Man and Chaos.
_______________
I do not measure the merits
of a Man by any cause he
claims a willingness to die for,
but rather by the positive way
in which he chooses to live his
Life in service of Others.
Death is (by far) an easier path
to take than this Uncertain Road
of Living, for the mortal body
dies but once, while any Soul that
does not shine with Love dies
endlessly evermore.
I have little admiration for those
sophistic naysayers who profess
to know how to live a Life absent
of chaos, yet my deepest respect
goes to anyone who has discovered
(within themselves) a means by
which to make this chaotic existence
more bearable. They are honest in
their Truth that Man and Chaos are
inseparable, yet bold enough none
the less to embrace Absurdity on its
own terms, without conforming to the
(false) belief that chaos ultimately reigns
the day.
Those aware of chaos are either
Blessed, or Cursed. Blessed if they
accept that Fate is a Mockery in the
Face of Freedom, and thus create
destiny for themselves; ... Cursed
if they fall Victim to repeated cycles
of indoctrination, while bound by
self-slavery to those erroneous
Theologies of Man.
Unfortunately, most slaves are
unwitting, and few reach enligh-
tenment by the devices of their
own reasoning, so that it often
requires another enlightened
soul to endow them with that
"Promethean Flame"; but once
their dreaming eyes awaken to
the possibility of Freedom, they
Will never sleep again.
(But most remain well rested,
and content to be the authors of
their Own Personal Script.)
And so here I am,.. a wanderer
in the process of enlightenment,..
seeking others to enlighten.
Staring boldly into the face of
Chaos, and serving the only cause
worthy of my Hearts Intent.
(Those I Love.)
