Suddenly it is dark
I come back from work and it is August. I leave the train station and watch the sky. The moon. There he is. Half as I was watching him growing the past days. But something is different. The sky is black instead of blue. In my memory it is just some days ago when I was leaving the train at about the same time and seeing the moon in August growing day by day with day light in the back. But it is suddenly dark. How is that possible? Am I in an artificial environment like in the movie “The Truman Show”? No. It is all about my own perception of my (natural) environment. There was nobody making it darker too early. The days don’t get longer any more. Whaoo! It is all about me. My perception some days ago gave the already darkening blue sky a much more blue tone as it was. Memorizing is construction. My comparison of the experience of the first view after the train from work today with the memory of some days ago was tricking me.
We sit in the cave but we don’t watch the fire. We only watch the shadow on the wall. This commonly known wisdom needs to be remembered in the daily life. I know that I am not perfect. I life with it. I am aware.
…
But I see daily people who are not aware (and even trying to tell them is meaningless as they are too much sucked into they own world). The reality is not perfect.
And a last thought: we will never know everything. May be some of the most interesting questions are never answered. I live in the present time. The past is tempting and the future a dream which may destroys the present time.
