The Look

Summary

The Look explores self-reflection, fantasy, and existence—poetic meditations on meaning, regret, and the search for fulfillment at dreamwhack.

The look. Taking an analytical look at myself I am compelled to ask the age-old question “what is the meaning of life?” and specifically, “what is the meaning of my life?”

Do I live in a world of fantasies that I create? Or is regretting the things I have said and done the meaning of my life? Should I dismiss the inquisitive questioning of my being? Should I accept the horrors of the carbon world as a finished and absolute product?

My elevation is the core of my fantasies. It soars higher than the thoughts of the mind can reach. It carves out channels of completeness and rivers of fulfillment that the carbon world can’t accommodate.

What is the advantage of wishful thinking when whatever you wish can’t change the past? You can guide certain aspects of the future with wishful thinking. But the behavior of the cosmos does not work at your whim. Other people do not act according to your wishes. Thus, there are limitations to futuristic wishful thinking.

The look at myself is sobering at best. I see many loves reduced to ash before they can be built to stand by my feelings of inadequacy. I see a career in ruins because of my mistakes and addictive tendencies.

When I take the look at myself using the analytical approach to self-awareness, I see a pot boiling without water. The steam is not raising because there is nothing to create it.

A light rain is falling. Even though neanderthals have polluted and contaminated everything, the carbon-based is still a sound structure. A day of change is set to take place.

So, the age-old question as to the meaning of life is somewhat irrelevant. Hydrogen atoms have little regard for the various types of plasma. Do not be carried away by what scientific journals say about the age of this event. How and when it occurred is all guesswork.

The look is not to be inflated out of proportion but is to be taken as it is given. The thoughts of a double humpback camel are not the same as the thoughts of a single humpback camel. Whatever that means. And assumptions and beliefs are not the same as facts and knowledge.

The meaning of life is defined by the individual. As long as that person does not intentionally cause harm to others, their flow is maintained.
