Life is about depth.

You may have heard of many versions of this statement.

But it is almost certain you have not realized this yourself.

If you did, you would be lost living the depths of it.

Instead of sniffing around its intellectual

versions.

Man has been duped into believing

that the shiny life that he has worked hard for

is all that he had ever wanted.

But that is far from the Truth.

For he has had "that life" for a while now.

His never-ending penchant for more

is the proof that what he thought he wanted,

is only an illusion he is lost both in and as.

Rest assured, you will find no such illusion in these words.

You will find nothing, in fact.

There is a very thin chance you will learn

of that which you truly yearn for.

Although that, is not in the slightest, my intent.

So what is it that a human truly yearns for?

A human ultimately craves Understanding.

The capitalization implies a visceral, arrived-at understanding.

And not a chased-for, intellectual one.

For the latter curbs a human's appetite for the former.

Understanding of any and all things.

From things happening immediately around him...

Why his near and dear ones are the way they are.

Why his wife smiles or adjusts her hair a certain way.

Why the mere sight of her is enough to know who, where, and why she is.

Why his superior prefers phone calls over video-calls.

Why the birds chirp by his window.

To things happening far away...

Why Society is headed where it is headed.

Why people do everything to not meet his eye.

Why that one cashier goes out of her way to serve him.

Why the first few words uttered by another is enough to

know the life he has been living.

To things happening deep inside him...

Why Choices are made before he makes them.

Why he wakes up before he wakes up.

Why his heart beats.

Why one of his nostrils breathes deeper than the other.

Why one of his eyes starts to tear before the other.

Why he feels the rush about certain things,

and some things bring both disgust

and memories.

These deeper understandings are not available

to the curious or the careful or the eager.

They are too deep to be found

by the ambitious or the seemingly benevolent.

The hackneyed would not bother with such depth.

For him, depth is merely a dimension of measurement.

The elixir of living is in living the depths yes,

but chanting that sentence will keep the human from realizing it.

On the contrary,

when a human actually begins to uncover such depth,

he Awakens.

His Mind takes a step back. Forever.

Over time he realizes the superficiality of the life he has lived.

The depth that was always there draws him in.

He realizes,

he simply has no choice but to devote

to the Life that he was, is, and will be.

For that Life is the only thing that is.

Anything else is simly a lie.

Anything else is only suffering.

Thank you.
