DESTRUCTION and REDEMPTION

He who knows the heart finds out how poor, helpless, pretentious, and blundering even the best and deepest love is--he finds that it more prone to DESTRUCTION than REDEMPTION!- KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LOVE: the martyrdom of the most innocent and most craving heart, that never had enough of any human love, that DEMANDED love, that demanded inexorably and frantically to be loved and nothing else, with terrible outbursts against those who refused him their love; the story of a poor soul insatiated and insatiable in love, that had to invent hell to send thither those who WOULD NOT love him--and that at last, enlightened about human love, had to invent a God who is entire love, entire CAPACITY for love--who takes pity on human love, because it is so paltry, so ignorant! He who has such sentiments, he who has such KNOWLEDGE about love--SEEKS death!

Darkness and Reason

We all like to root for the underdog. The dying, struggling last Ray of light fighting against darkness. Because we see ourselves in that place, rallying against all odds to reach somewhere. Yet wherever it goes there is darkness already. And darkness is all pervasive, it is all there is nothing. And maybe we are looking at it the wrong way. Accepting darkness is beginning of reasoning and converting from being wanderers to travellers.

Maybe by accepting the darkness that is there and was already there and will always be there is what we need to accept as reality and adapt to. Maybe we have become complacent because we can't use the senses that we have now to navigate through black. We need higher reasoning and become something more than man to rise, to evolve. We are rope, bridge between men and ubermensch.

What ourselves will become with all this hypocrisy and procrastination. We keep delaying evolving and resist changes that come our way. Let's develop into something of that darkness. Its not that there is nothing, it's that we are not yet developed enough to know what darkness actually has in store for us. Maybe that is where the madness lies. And all madness do have reasons for it. And with reason we will stop being someone who has travelled far off and yet haven't reached destination because there is none that we can imagine with our half developed brain. We can reach the cities of knowledge, gardens of love and palace of peace. 

We fear it because we cannot comprehend darkness like we can't understand other being. Like we all are so unique that to know someone else completely is a bliss that not all of us are blessed with. Like love, we cannot comprehend love as well. Its a bottomless pit, an abyss, something so powerful that we get overwhelmed by it at the slightest chance of it becoming reality. The same way, darkness is fearful because it is so powerful that a ray of light will be extinguished, if not today than tomorrow. Sooner or later it concedes defeat, maybe it's not defeat actually, its lights destiny as well. To change. And me, being at the same level of consciousness cannot fully understand the workings of light and dark. Only thing that I can understand is that I welcome darkness as much as light. I love both because in the end both is me and I am it. I am everywhere and always. If not me than a part of me, with all my virtue and all my vice, with all that's bad and all that's nice. I am and therefore I will be.
