Letting it die may not only feel

 

unwise and foolish but, it might also

 

feel ... irresponsible, unkind and

 

inhuman!

 

 

 

Here people talk about taking care of

 

the planet, the humanity, the

 

civilization, the cosmos ...

 

 

 

and, here you are Not willing to take

 

care of the 'me' who seems totally

 

dependent on Just You !

 

 

 

....it feels so uncompassionate !

The concern about " I " or " me " or the making up of these or the

defending of these or any concern about knowing these remotely or not

or some other concern are of no particular use to the billions or even

the millions.

 

This advice has been repeated over the centuries without ceasing. The

origins of these words, the people and places, are filled with

suffering and ignorance and means little to them except to those

fascinated with it and centered in these words somehow twirl

continuously in it as it is. It spreads.

 

The world and all its billions of little " I-s " and " me-s " will

continue to flourish and pass on regardless of these words and all

those like it. The few twirlers are a species, a type, like a

squirrel, bird, fish, insect or bacterium and serve their role among

the billions. See them twirl. Do they see the twirling species? Can

the twirlers see they are twirling in a niche while others do what

they do.

 

Being afraid is part of living. Each deals with it as it comes.

Suffering is the same. Joy or happiness or bliss, whatever comes and

goes and so...

 

Knowing those words, being them, becoming them does not change what

life is or alter what is or what you are. Breathing, sleeping, eating,

drinking, excreting, waking, covering the body, moving about, going

here to there and back and around, doing this and that to survive,

sitting, resting, continues and most of a lifetime is spent doing

these simple things.

 

Twirling on is just one part of the flourishing and passing. Some make

money on it. Most just twirl.

 

The " I " and " me " never leaves. It is natural. Look at the " I-s " and

" me-s " here. There is one and another and another. Not one is missing.

 

Exterminating or loosing or releasing " I " and " me " or whatever doing

that can be called is just on more way for an appearance to pass time.

 

Twirling like this must be pleasant.
