The Human Equation

It's always struck as nothing short of amazing how people fancy themselves as the protagonist in life. They are always neutral as far as they are concerned. For the most part they are right. We tend to view things in the good versus evil categories. We demonize those we see as villains and build those we like up as heroes. Such I guess is the human condition.

Does this make those of us considered as bad actually evil? No. Far from it. Because this is one of those little ironies life seems to be full of. It's basically a paradox. Another version of the truth. Yet through it all we (the individual), is only as evil or as good as they are willing to go.

This brings up another fundamental question: Is there just one truth? Yes. There is. The problem with the truth is it is elusive. It is woven as deep in the human interaction as death is the natural extension of life. To see the whole truth as a singularity one would have to view every life that has lived, is living and will live. One single consciousness.

Although I do not believe in a one true God, I do believe in one consciousness that we are all part of. Once we die (or so we are told), we see our life flash before our eyes. For this to have any meaning what so ever, one must see that the truth can't be seen fully until we understand what we have experienced in it's entirety.

This in turn brings up another and very intriguing question. What then is the some of a human? Simply this: I am everything and I am nothing.
