SHACK 841 STRIVING

Psych Central Blog

More or less carrying on from SHACK 839 it came me to that the Earth is beautiful beyond words and description, however the pleasures of the flesh with humans that can become addictive if taken to access with debauchery. It is so pleasurable that the senses crave more and it can be not only because of the taste and the merriment of it but to cover up trauma, the lack of confidence, pain and courage to head for an unpleasant event and so many other things. Of course its used in ceremonies, rituals and celebrations.

Often at the bottom of the reasons is the fact that I feel humans know of the inevitable ending of the flesh cocoon we all travel in, in a journey and sojourn of this fair and beautiful planet, we are all but travellers and explorers of this Earthly visit, yes visitors and guests. All our possessions are on loan at most hired and they crumble and rust, decay and are weathered like the mountains and rivers by the winds, rain, frost and heat, volcanoes, hurricanes,  earthquakes, droughts and other unexpected events.

So we are sculptured not only by weather but by life's tapestry of war, love, hate, relationships, failure, success, grief, loss, gain, wealth, poverty, wealthy and lofty and well known and famous, a master criminal, a thief, a vagabond and so much more.

So we know on observation or in some way maybe and perhaps by tragedy and loss everything is impermanent, here today and gone tomorrow and no matter how we strive to make it enduring it slips somehow out of our grasp but perhaps for a short while it seems forever. 

This lack of durability can drive us to distraction and run away from the inevitable, however like the bandit running from the law as in the classic Western Hollywood saga the stubborn persistence of the bandit fleeing and the Sheriff pursuing seems relentless and so we may try to flee death and a way of doing this can be through the distraction by enjoying the pleasures of the Earth and its edible and nourishing bounty which if taken to excess leading further to gluttony and illness.  

Be that as it may some have contemplated and cogitated this inevitability and come to terms with it and still follow the distraction and say 'well I am reconciled to my eventual demise and so go to it with gusto and aplomb'.

Does it matter which way this mortal coil chooses it's inevitability of its' demise?
