Excuses!

[VanAlioSaldo]

It is not easy to respond to your post VanAlioSaldo but I would like to contribute the input of my personal thoughts to your thread.



I do not feel the illustration of the Joker with his comments are valid.
What makes life meaningful IS mostly composed of the things that ARE valued. Whomever created that cartoonic ''message'' is trying to delude people into thinking that All Is Futile. IT IS NOT!
How do you tie in this with the subject thread titled ''excuses'' I'm not understanding the link within your assumption(?!)

Is it no wonder that many 'seekers' of Truth go around in circles much of their lives?

I would never say ALL is futile, but things can only be as important as you make them.

Your neighbour cares about certain things which you may not care about and think of as futile, just as you may care about things you neighbour would think of futile.

Everything is a 100% relative.

MMM, thank you for providing perfect examples of both sides being valid but oh so differently spaced.

I'm glad you ask how the panel of the Joker ties in to this.  The Joker's words are an excuse to me.  Despite my agreeing with him.
I think society is a demented gag of sorts economically.  I find a sort of cruel indifference present in a system designed to collapse slowly but enough to cripple people of all standings along the way, with some much more than others.
But that does not mean you must give up and laugh (I did during my Hell experience, that was, an experience. . .) But I think it is still an excuse ultimately, in that it has nothing to do with yourself.  You're In It but that doesn't mean you're a-Part of It.  It being Reality, Society, a Relationship, Existence, Incarnation, Life, and Perspective, or Conscious Experience. It just depends on YOU.

The Joker is making an excuse.  So thank you, both of you, for providing such good view of the overall angles available that are all, not wrong.

@Spaced: I once read that every person is allowed One Mistake.  I truly believed that at the time.  Maybe I should've read it as an Infinite One.  Are there any mistakes in the final view backwards?  Who knows.  I don't.  I hope not.  But a part of me also hopes there are, something to bring forth, to show where I came from.  The amount of sorrow, the amount of distortion and loss, the darkness and all of it's depth.  I can take it.  Is it a mistake to be proud of surviving suffering and madness, to be tinged and scared in a way?  Is it really a scar, or a lesson learned?  How should I identify the feeling of nihilism being justified on one end of my being, then also explain how I believe in a Filled Creatorverse where All to the empty space I believe to be empty but is more a plenum is the Creator.  The Moment that is Love is All-Present, the Creator that is Love/Light is All-Present.

So is the excuses for not wanting to inspect those fresh scars and review those new lessons akin to a human's procrastination on a spiritual level?
