It all seems so strange that something that is so completely overwhelmingly obvious to me is so obscure in the minds of those around me. I have never had a harder time trying to find a similar thought pattern in people. Common sense is not so common because what is common is always changing. Trying to stay adaptable in these times is difficult; Trying to stay up to date on the latest and greatest a full time life absorbing task. People need to learn how to focus on the truly important aspects in life rather than the things that they are told and expected to focus on. Humanity needs to focus on refinement rather than luxury. Why must things have an insistent need to always be better? Why is it that this life is better than the one we had one hundred years ago? better than the life that existed a thousand years ago?  Is there not always Love, faith, happiness, desire, sadness, insanity, anger, hate, rage, deceit, loss, birth, growth, change? So why should the setting for these to occur really matter? Why destroy something that does not need to be destroyed for the sake of your insistent need to always have more, better things. Because comfort is a necessity? Because luxury is a sign of power? To whom, not I. Respectability has to do with the quality of a man not the quality of his existence and respectable people are becoming harder and harder to come by these days.

Material gain is what drives about 80 percent of the people in modernized society.
Survival is what drives 90 percent of the people in third world society.
Technology is what runs 98 of a modernized society
Instinct is what runs 98 percent of a third world society.

The wealthiest people in the world to me would be the monks and all the people who fallow the same basic guidelines to life. They are the ones capable of really comprehending what life truly is and what it's truly about and it is through their deep understanding and connections that they are able to tap into the energy well that is  made up of all, is nothing, and yet remains everything.

A mobieus strip is good clear image of what the universe essentially is and how it works, everything being connected and leading back into its self no matter how long the chain or strip may be, for it stretches as far as the universe and yet somewhere it connects back to itself just as it connects back to you.
