You know there’s a famous quote in the world of Botany - “The only difference between a weed and a flower is a matter of opinion.”
The opinions I had of the narrow rays of the sun shining onto the icy withered leaves of a 150 year old tree and the freshly lubricated grasslands that stretch themselves for miles were not apparent to me when I simply read them in the dead textbooks we were provided in our schools and colleges.
I had no interest in the formation of gaps between two large rocks bristled together due to the change in the movement of the mighty Ganges - you see, these were answers that we had to mug up and vomit on a sickly piece of paper - this process gave us the illusion of knowing.
Whilst sitting on those tattered benches we started assuming how the mighty peaks might feel, deluded by the fact that our assumptions are in fact the reality. We were not only far from the truth - being far from the truth implies being on a similar path rather we were on some other tangent, we were moving in the opposite direction on the path that is far from the truth, yeah, imagine that.
The problem with being confined to your assumptions is that, those assumptions lead you to a conclusion and that conclusion leads you to an experience - that is not the experience of reality but rather it is the experience of your own assumption - you get me? Read that again and read it slowly. It took hours to frame that sentence. You need to get rid of the idea that ‘I know’ because you don’t.
You really have no freaking clue what’s going around, in fact, everything out here is so damn unique that even no two leaves are same! You might ask “So what?” Well what I mean is that there is no basis to your assumption that something is the way you think it is - there is no model to your stupendous assumption. Being dumb is not a choice you have my friend, it’s a natural progression towards understanding reality.
