JUST BE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING

JUST BE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING.  WE LIVE ON AN ISOLATED PLANET FAR FROM OUR HOME.  IT FLOATS IN AN EVER-EXPANDING, NEARLY INFINITE UNIVERSE MADE ENTIRELY OF BRUTAL FORCES OF WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE  PERCEPTION, AND OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL.  IT IS DEVOID OF COMPASSION, WITH NO PURPOSE OR MEANING EXCEPT THE QUALITIES WE ASSIGN TO IT.  WE ARE  ENTRAPPED IN AN ETERNAL NOW OF MUTUALLY CREATED MYOPIC ILLUSIONS  WE CALL “REALITY”.  THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS CHANGE. ONE CAN OBSERVE CHANGE WITHOUT BECOMING THE CHANGE.  JUST BE.

Banned books“If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms.  Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors.”

~ John F. Kennedy, October 29, 1960
