On or Off

On the nature of meaning...or lack thereof. We are here in this life trapped between everything and nothing. Neither is fully allowed through reasoning and careful calculated thought. We are absolutely responsible for choosing, either consciously or not, which our ultimate alignment will be. If there's an infinite and undeniable truth, a way, a light, a point and a reason, then the calculation finally asks "please prove it, show me". No authority in this world is available. If there's no truth, no point, no real reason and you wind down that deconstructionism road, you always end up at the bottom of all things with a problem as well. If your final statement is that there is no truth, then how can you be right? So here we are in this wild wonder, our minds trapped by reason in the purgatory of rational thought. And when you question all things, you tend to bounce faster and faster between the two extremes, for the middle is no place for people of action. The land of the selfish, fearful and slave-minded. And on the way out of this trap you make your choice...to be or not to be, that is the question indeed. It's our great opportunity to grow, to study, to think and compare. I do not fear any idea. I welcome them. They either eventually lead to the dark or the light. The on or the off. Meaning/Non-meaning. Its a chance to choose our quality and pick our side. And it's not so much a question of morality, as many would profess as the driving force. For with Positivity, morality springs forth and with Nihilism, morality serves no purpose. The choice comes first and dictates the latter. What keeps me on the life, light and meaningful side of the coin, even in the worst of storms, is the fact that we are here at all. When there could have been nothing, there is something. I know I want to be in line with that something. Call it what you will. It's a beautiful day and that means something to me because I choose to have a passion for the positive, to faithfully step beyond reason and make my choice.
