Nobody Knows!
Perhaps time isn’t linear?
Our miniscule slice of eternity
Could last forever.
Perhaps time is circular,
Recurring in endless repetition?
Perhaps consciousness is a dream?
Reality an illusion?
Perhaps our minds are products of evolution?
Mere survival mechanisms.
Perhaps nothing matters at all
And everything is of no importance?
Perhaps life is an accident
Of no concern?
Perhaps all religions were invented
Out of fear and wonder?
But perhaps time is circular
Our minds glorious
A triumph of accidental wonder?
Perhaps we endlessly relive
All the experiences
We go through in life?
Perhaps that is our destiny?
But nobody knows!
Really!
Nobody knows!
Opher – 15.1.2025
I look at all the religions and philosophers that have ever lived, the greatest minds, powerful thoughts, wondrous words – and I think – they are only guessing.
Nobody knows.
They are making it up.
Reality is not understood.
Our minds are not understood.
They are all guessing.
The cleverest minds conjured up Karma, heaven, god and paradise to provide reason and explanation.
All mere fantasy.
Plucked from our thoughts and wishes.
Nothing real.
No facts.
People believe with all their hearts. Strap on bombs. Dream of paradise. Believe what they are told; what is written.
But it only imagined.
It has no real substance.
No god ever appeared.
No Messiah exists.
We are really just organisms with limited minds who live for a short time on an inconsequential planet in one of trillions of galaxies. We have no great significance. Our lives and thoughts are miniscule. Believing won’t make us more important. We simply have not got the capacity to understand much. Reality is incredibly complex. The universe beyond comprehension.
We are ants grappling with infinity.
Nobody knows!
Nobody!
My thoughts are as good as yours!
