what perplexes me about humans who have claimed to have found truth in whatever form or philosophy it is, is that there is an attempt to convince and convert others to the same kind of thinking - now don't get me wrong i definitely believe that you can learn allot from others way of doing life but as soon as it becomes a way you should prescribe to in order to belong to the enlightened few who feel themselves to be very special it becomes a trap in itself - what would be the point in thinking alike you simply conforming to think like someone else - does this dispel the illusion of not being separated giving you a false sence of community and for how long - till you break the rules, test the boundaries or transcend the wisdom at which time you will be rejected regardless.
Noone will ever know exactly what you mean about anything - it will simply be a approximation of the variables you communicate - no two person's symbol sets are alike - we can simply hope not to be understood well enough as not to be misinterpreted.
it comes back to the same space - what's underlying all of this - what aspect of us is the same regardless of what we say and how can be interpreted neutrally outside the limitations of language - even feelings are subjective as they can be manipulated too easily - as a species we are flawed to a degree of individualised madness coexisting in the "human experience"
there is no one way, there is no all encompassing truth except your own - if you can manage not to harm or violate through your way you may be ok today
