Dumb.

Dumb.

Dumb.

Plain and simple Truth -

Being the Mind is being dumb.

No hidden joke, no masking euphemism, no upcoming apology.

The brilliant "10x software engineer" churning out code

using the latest and greatest framework for the "big four"

or his startup passionate about "solving problems" is dumb.

So is the double PhD or triple MSc degree holder

with thousands of publications before the age of 30 and

currently stuck "researching" for that which will ultimately

end in the hands of some maniac.

So is the world renouned mystic shouting yogic jargon

or the meditation teacher and guru touting his programs

to the masses to alleviate their pains and worries or

promising them illusions of "Total Freedom"

and "Enlightenment"

Being the Mind is being dumb.

"Seeking Truth" is being dumber.

"Conquering the Mind" is being dumbest.

Dumb people stay dumb.

Dumb people seek out other dumb people.

When multiple such "dumb" people come together,

a community or a group is formed.

No matter how good or great or benevolent that group's motto purports to be,

the resultant (real) intention of the group as a whole

is...Evil.

Why?

Because though individually almost every single member of that group

will never venture past being dumb,

(for at the end of the day, a Mind only cares about itself)

when collectively forced to "decide" for that or another collection,

it gives birth to a "collective Mind" of sorts.

And it is this collective Mind, which will not

stay content with staying dumb amidst all its "policies", "programs",

and "proceedings", but over time,

fueled by the brewing ulterior impurities in that collective,

approach soul-sucking evilism in all its behaviors.

Minds everywhere.

Disguises everywhere.

Everyone is stuck trying to be someone they are not.

They do this in fear, need, hope, and desire.

In this endless cycle of putting on masks

in response to the situation around them,

all people become dumb.

Few, outright evil.

The evil ones suffer, escape,

then kill or rob or rape or torture,

and then suffer a million times more,

and stay evil or die.

The dumb ones chase, suffer and escape.

They take that for "normal" and continue to stay dumb and die.

The suffering pushes the rare ones towards turning evil,

and the rarer ones, towards seriousness.

Yes, the serious ones die ultimately.

But they experience something that

no one else does.

They Live.

Thank you.
