In this world, when I look in your eyes, I know I can never see the world as you do. You are your own entity. You are your own one against seven billion others that inhabit this planet. I know how whatever spirit or being or whatever it is that possesses this physical form I am in, sees the world, and I suspect that every other being sees the world in a similar way as I do - myself against billions of others that could be games, or fake plastic illusions... that I could be put here on my own against a screen of billions of life forms that don't even exist. The point is - I will never know. I will NEVER know because I can only ever see this world through my eyes. Only through this physical body, that I sometimes have abused, that has put great demands on my mental and spiritual ability, have I seen this world. And I know that, how I see it, as I see it,
you also see it.
This I know. You cannot leave your shell. You cannot leave your body. We all could be illusions in YOUR game, in YOUR fake plastic illusion. But *I* know this is not fact, for *I* see the world through *MY* eyes. In this world, you have chosen to be with ME. Out of the billions you could be with, somehow, for some reason, the spirit, or entity, or whatever the fuck this language others have created and taught me, call it, has chosen ME. And although I see the world as billions of physical beings who will never know or see the world as I do, i DO realise that YOU are just as me. One in a Universe of uncounted infantecimle numbers, who inhabits a physical life-form on this planet others before us have named Earth. And in this existence, however brief in the scheme of the life of the Universe, Galaxy, Planet, or physical body you, at this time inhabit, you choose to spend some of your time with ME.
I realise how random and spontaneous this life is - that any one of a million happenings could have put your lifeforce on another path, and I also know that you may even look upon life as I do. Yourself against seven billion others, who may, or may NOT even be REAL - and that you will NEVER know the truth. But that you choose, in all this confusion and uncertainty, to spend this short existence with me, is greatly dear to the heart of this being I inhabit.
I know you may never understand what I am saying here - or maybe you understand it too well. But in any case, you will never know how to see the world through MY eyes, and you will never know that I truly hurt, feel, see, touch, smell and dream as you do. I will never know either, but wisdom, if it prevails, leads me to believe that you ARE as I am, and that we ARE both individual lifeforces inhabiting physical forms at this current common time and place. And when I see, I see
all others as I see myself. Perhaps I am not just alone in a dream and a game, a test of my spirits strength in a galaxy of pretend forms. Although I will never know that this is NOT the truth, I trust that we all are one against the billions. If I, some year, find out that I was foolish to believe this, that I AM some specimen in a game, a test or a dream, that everyone else IS NOT a sentient and corporeal life form as I am, then I will allow myself today to accept that I will someday be fooled, and I am alright with that.
But today, I choose to believe that I am as you are, and that you choose to spend your existence with me, and that, my sweet spirit friend, is a blessing to me, more than you will ever understand as I do, as you will never see through my eyes. So, all I can do, is thank you, and continue to show you how much I appreciate you as a friend, another life form, another spirit, and send forth your way all the respect and kindness I can, so I can enrich your brief life as you have mine. My friend, my stranger, and one whom I love.
Perhaps you will never understand what I say here, so I will put it out simply. Look unto the world, and see all who have existed and realize that they are all you. I am YOU. I see as YOU do. I am YOU. And I THANK YOU. This is true EMPATHY.
And if I ever run astray or afoul of kindness to the spirit that inhabits your physical body, please, let me know, and I will see the world as YOU do, and do my best, as one of the uncounted numbers in the Universe, to understand how you feel.
How do you feel America should approach relations with the Middle-East?
