People and their big 'Earthly' ideas.

You have philosophy, religion and life; amongst other things. Of them all you have a copious pile of ideas and ultimately, open ended oblivion.

Realistically, none of these metaphysical creations really matter within the context of a physically present reality; regardless of your beliefs in what occurs external to existence and presence in the universe/realm of actualization. Be any of the religions or philosophical ideas ultimately true or not, reality pushes on because it is what is present and within physical proximity.

As if the mountainous piles of recorded ideas weren't different and individualized enough, think of the amount of those ideas that have ultimately gone unrecognized or are still inside a desk drawer unpublished, those that have been sacrificed to the fire for the sake of a disturbed author?

It would make sense to say in our times maybe there needs to be a refined focus outside those things that entertain us.

People are hurting other people for the sake of their beliefs. It's a base animal desire to seek out power through removing others from their own. So how are we any different from the animals we believe cant conceive, if we cant recognize or stop our own penchant for hurting others/pushing our beliefs and big ideas.

All matter and life; to include the anonymous undiscovered but present anomalies in and around us, inhabit this existence. But humans, as far as we assume, are the only ones trying to ascribe meaning or reason to all of it; that which resides outside ourselves. For the selfish beings/animals we are, this is ironic; that we'd feign interest in such proposals. Forget universal questions, what purpose does posing universal questions serve? Also, they are question that have been asked by human kind insurmountably, bearing no conceivable resolve that would be deemed acceptable. Why then, do we push so hard to fruitlessly continue?

It's funny how the thinking mind tries to put order to what is seemingly in perpetual chaos. Ironically, the order such things get put in are also a form of chaos in and of their own realization. Its just a chaos of a cyclic system the subscribes to a different ebb and flow. But a beat within a bigger beat all the same. This is further compounded as more thinking minds; each with their own subjective thoughts, ideas and ways of arranging said chaos, are added.

Such mental and conceptual focus's could then be said to be aimless in a way. Certainly, this must be true if what resides outside our own ideas is really only celestial cycles and ebbs and flows.

So what resides outside reality if anything? Its not discoverable as far as we know. But does it matter one way or another. When Burdens of proof cannot be met, why battle or defend unrealizable endeavors? So much more can realistically be accomplished. That which lays beyond, if anything, isn't going anywhere. And if it is going somewhere, and if it is affected by our own actions, there was no way for anyone to definitively know. Because there is simply no metaphysical beacon of light in this world any brighter than another.

In any case, even with a realm outside that which we can perceive in this one, nothing a person physically possesses in this existence carries over. Earthly and humanized indulgences and desires certainly have no merit to or place among metaphysical entities or existences. So why is it those are the things emblazoned and emphasized so readily and frequently in life.
