Finishing End
why this question?
why this need to question?
why this need to write about the need to question?
How much of what I do, directly results in what gets done. And how much of what
I do actually becomes the impediment in what I desire to get done ?
Does every event have an individuality of it's own ? Like you and I have. Or is
every event, every eventuality, a potential, a probability ? And then are you and I
also a probability, a potential ? So I if I want to get something done, how many
other events must come into synch before the event becomes a percievable
reality ? Even an event like my striking a match must rely on the match being
made, the box being made, the process of the match and the box coming to my
hand, and the moment that I actually strike the match against the box. How many
events must have to be created for me to have chosen that moment. This would
go back to the 'chance' of the creation of 'fire' and to the very birth of the Universe.
So here is the question. If so many innumerable events must have come
together, to give me the choice of striking the match against the box, surely it is
just my ego that tells me that the 'end result' of all those events was my striking
the match against the box. I am obviously just part of the immense, continous
and infinite chain of interrelated events that never ends. My choice, if it ever was
that, is just part of that matrix. Not anything I do, or claim to have done, is the end
result. And therefore, why do I consider myself an individual, if I am merely a cog
in the wheel of the infinite matrix of the events, and nothing that I do is the 'end
game'.
