microblasty

Enclosed within there is a muddled view of the world. Someone said once,"You can dream all day and be happy, but who the Hell is going to paint the car!" I pondered that for a moment and then it hit me; that dude was 3 cheeses short on his enchilada. Needless to say, I did gather some useful information as a result of that encounter. I did come to a reasonable conclusion as to the origins of the universe.
Man in the world today cannot know. We can try; and that's a misnomer because we implies me and them when I have never met them; or you for that matter. Suffice it to say that I do not own a car which solves the first issue. As far as the origins of the universe, I have concluded that it is really, really big. How it came to be is to be completely free from all rationality in even considering it in the first place. Big Bang this and Adam and Eve that; if you think you know something well enough to preach it, you should not be a preacher. This holds true for many things as real teachers always learn from their charges. If they do not, then they are poor teachers and should consider another line of work. I would suggest label painting or shoe-lace polishing.
I used to work with a dude who was in his late 50's; a young man. He carried a Phd and was a teacher. He now worked as a casino cleaning guy. He told me once, only once, that the job he has now makes him feel good. When I asked why he replied,"I have freedom in this place. I can move and breathe here. I can do the job then go straight home. I can stay up late, gamble, drink, eat well, have insurance, an apartment with low rent and utilities, a stripper as a neighbor, and poker games with friends 3 days a week." I thought about that for a minute.
This man Dave was an intriguing character. He had it all: the cash, the standing, the respect. He dropped it all because he was not doing what he wanted to do and there was far too much pressure and it was affecting his health. So he quit and moved to Nevada where he has the kind of job that suits him best. He has no prick boss lurking at his backside; no immediate cares in the universe; no desire for anything else, and a complete outlook that has at its foundation an idea. This idea is what spurred me into my conclusion about the universe.
The universe originated a long time ago. The Earth is not even relevant in comparison. To compare Earth to the rest of the universe is like comparing a fly print to the rest of the universe. The fact is, we are all completely clueless to the big questions; by design. This is why Dave's story is the key to the whole damn thing. All Dave wanted was a less stressed sort of life with an emphasis on happiness. He wanted to look forward to his days while he had them. He grew tired of the mud slinging that was clouding his perspective, his desire and his views of the world. The origin of the universe is hope and happiness. So there, nothing can come from badness. Badness is a human creation only. It is a function of human beings to change just like the weather.
