The theory of absence:
How the belief in absence riddled life with voids.
The belief in absence is the square root of human ignorance. Though absence is an unproven theory, we base all our calculations in life on it, as if it’s a proven fact. Humans are present beings that are lost in the illusion of absence. This illusion has shaped our actions and perceptions of life.
From absence we came, and to absence we will return. This belief has confined us within the parenthetical walls of absence, limiting our minds to an unfree view of life. We have hung our thoughts on these two parenthetical walls of absence, for it feels safer to live life within a known limit than to live free of limitations where there are no walls to protect us from our own existential fears.
The absent past and the absent future are the hands of time which we unwisely use to measure our present lives. Time is a mental pendulum which constantly swings from the absent past to the absent future. Being impatient, it never made a full stop to appreciate the present now.
Absence is a cataract which clouded the mind with impossibilities, making the real appear to be impossible. But everything exists to the mind which is blinded to absence. Everything In the modern world was once considered impossible due to our perception of absence until the mind opened its eyes.
The theory of absence is like black holes that riddled the human mind with voids which partly swallowed our existential fullness, causing us to always want more. From the wombs of these voids, the human greed was born. And it’s human greed which feasted on human fulfillment.
Theories, beliefs, and opinions are mental designer wears, which people fancy more than the naked truth. But if we should strip the mind of all its theories, beliefs, and opinions about life, we would realize that the all-ness of the present is life’s only naked truth.
