The Celts in deep thought & just rambles some thoughts

    Don't mind me, I'm just thinking aloud.

    Life is a ruddy strange thing. On the one hand it is so precious and beautiful, on the other it is worthless and the long deepest sleep of death seems so inviting. What IS the REAL point of it all?

    Don't worry, I'm happy enough. Happy enough that I realise that true joy does not come without it's real sadnesses too.

    Do I try to fool myself, that life is going well, when underneath I feel that everything is quite pointless? Why do the words of Solomon in Ecllesiastes feel so true, that all is a chasing after the wind, all is futility.

    I do love life and nothing makes me happier than to see others enjoying themselves. But life seems to be passing me by and I do not understand why. There are a great many why's in life, this I have come to understand. There is nothing certain in life. Just when you think that you have either made it, or that you have an understanding of life and it's meaning, something or other, comes along, whacks into the face of your emotions, at the end of which, you realise that all is futility itself. Why must life be so?

    Maybe I feel incomplete? Maybe I feel incomplete because I do not have someone to look after as though she were my very own soul? Maybe this is the root source of my problem/s, who can truly tell, who can truly tell the completeness and give total understanding to the roots of our own personal, thinking processes?

    Why is this so and why is that so? Why do things have to be this way? Why is it that as soon as you think you have through the journey'ed experience acquired answers, only to face yourself once more and realise that everything you think for yourself is such a load of [EDIT] crap, that you know nothing?

    Who has answers, are there any? Yes, just chill mark, be appreciative, be kind, be loyal, be faithful, be loving, biut all of this to what end, it is all a chasing after the wind, a chasing after ones tail. For who is to say that one is foolish or wise? For inasmuch the second I think I have answers based on my own experience and perception, I am rudely reminded of my own presumptousness in gathering for myself this inner knowledge that I have thus gained such correctly, when in fact, the reasoning behind such, is cockeyed to say the least. What is the real point to it all?

    What is the point to it all? To tell everyone, everything is going to be ok? Is this in and of itself lying, lying to myself and others? From whence can I base such assumption? All is hopeless this self denial of real truth, though what is real REAL truth if it will not reveal itself untoward ones soul?

    The Celt looks puzzled like a dog with forlorn expression.

    What the ruddy dickens in the answer and understanding of absolutely EVERYTHING?

    Ruddy ruddy ruddy hell.

    Streuth.

    Blimey.

    Oh my giddy aunt, we go round and round in ruddy blinkin ruddy circles.

    Celty looks up and ....

    Sorryyou are having such a "painful" day.

    I will tell you what someone told me...When my soulmate walked out on my on 20 years of marriage, they told me that when I stopped looking for a soulmate....he would find me.

    It took a couple of years......a couple of painful years.....and sure enough, when I stopped looking "he" found me.....

    The noblest quest, is the quest for truth and that quest through our lives I believe to be unending. It is when a person goes to sleep and does not even attempt to develop fine qualities and wisdom through insight, that alarm bells often ring. In that sleep state I believe we each have cause to feel down about our lives as the void and despair can ache deep within us.

    The void you describe, I relate to and I have to stop the "bastard brain" from muttering to itself some days, or even weeks, just to allow myself space to relax again. Even during these times, I know that I will return to questing again and will pick up a book and engage friends in meaningful conversation.

    Certain truths are obscured by a cloud and no man is able to reach through and grasp the fullness of this life, accept that and also accept that certain areas of knowledge are deeply subjective in nature.

    Some truths are certainly innate and as you hinted, being the best person you can be towards every man is no bad quality to develop. How many do this in reality? Feel special within yourself that you even recognize the need to do so.

    - I think we often miss the little things in life, that make life worth living ... I can get so much out of drinking a simple glass of mineral water, as I examine the experience. If I focus upon the small and seemingly inconsequential, often the void diminishes.

    El Blanko, thank you for putting the perspective back in sooo beautifully, aye, thats what I enjoy about gardening so much, like your glass of water experience, I do this often too. I know what it is with me, recently I have not been nourishing my inner soul as much as I ought to have done, tis because of being self employed and rushed off my feet often, I have not being giving myself the time that my soul was / is requesting. So, this afternoon, I'm off to west Cornwall to sit on top of some majestic cliffs somewhere, probaly near Porthcurno I reckon, near the Minack Theatre, a particular favourite spot of mine, to gaze down at the Atlantic rollers crashing against the cliffs, to turn my back to the warming of the sun and gaze out west across the Atlantic ocean to far away shores where many more friends live.

    Maya, thank you too, you have a reply by pm.

    Hugs to you both.

    Btw, if anyone is up for coming down sometime this summer, the Minack Theatre is an absolutely stunning place to watch a play / performance, it's a 750 seater amphitheatre carved into the solid granite cliffs, the sea right below. Would make for a magical night out with good friends, then if anyones up for it, by moonlight I could take a few up the Helford River in my boat to Frenchmand creek where we could have a bbq on a quiet deserted beach surrounded by exquisite beauty and maybe swim in phospherescense, anyone?

    Why do the words of Solomon in Ecllesiastes feel so true, that all is a chasing after the wind, all is futility.

    ...What is the real point to it all?

    I believe life without a good relationship with our Creator IS futile also that He means for life to be a happy experiance based on continual personal growth and developement, that is why, I believe, He started the first Humans naked in a garden...they weren't even aware of their own nakedness!
