Against Logic There Is No Armor Like Ignorance.

"Where are WE going?" "How do you define US?" "Is this relationship going anywhere?" ...these are all terrible questions and they need to be stopped. Now! What happened to running questions through a brain filter prior to releasing them to the vocal press.

When somebody asks me one of these questions, they might as well be saying "You know what? You just aren't cutting it at your current state. Perhaps you will take your roll as boyfriend a bit more seriously than you are currently taking your role as almost-boyfriend". Why is there such a desire to "progress" the relationshit? What drives this need?

I think a lot of my beef with Judeo-Christian beliefs, along with many other organized sets of beliefs, is that they define an end. Well, not exactly that they define an end, but rather that they define an obtainable, finite end. Mathematically speaking, they define limits. A start and a stop, beyond which, nothing is taken into consideration. I on the other hand believe that, while this does make life a bit more tangible, it also destroys the imagination.

I’m now going to make “running a marathon” my metaphorical bitch: A runner in a race has a defined goal. Start when the race starts, travel a defined distance, do it faster than the others. Many people I know treat life the same way. Finish school, get a job, wife, then family, and do it better than the rest of your monkey sphere. I feel having this reachable, finite end instills a sense in the believer that upon obtaining it, the believer will have fulfilled part of a life journey.

Tsao takes a different approach. Tsao is as infinite as the universe. Tsao can only be limited by ones understanding of Tsao.

Many people think of infinity as a line that never stops. And while this is true, it is also limiting the definition (Limiting infinity…funny. Oh wait, math isn’t funny. My bad), because anything that can be divided, can be divided an infinite number of times. This includes 2D and 3D objects, a distance (a section of a line can be divided into an infinite number of points), or an angle (a 90 degree turn has an infinite number of angles between it and a 0 degree angle). This holds true for life as well. Life isn’t a binary decision of good path or bad path, it is a decision to live binarily or not. To limit your brain in order to focus on a task, or to keep open the infinite paths in a world of possibilities.

Before I ramble too much, I’d like to pull back to the relationshit point I was attempting to make. When running a race you focus on that race in order to be good at it. When racing the relationshit race, you focus on finding a partner to help complete you. When Tsaoing your way through life you focus on who you are as an already complete person (albeit a touch unrefined) and how you can make the best of what is and what is going to be. Don’t stop and smell the roses, only to continue down the same purpose driven path. Stop to smell the roses and realize that the finish line isn’t an end-all answer. The race is.
