The idea that everything must have a container is self-defeating. Without it we are lost in a sea of existence, there are no boundaries to existence, no boundaries to us. We associate "no boundaries" with a removal of limitations: we hate our boundaries. We associate "no boundaries" with a removal of security: we love our boundaries. We understand the paradox of individual freedom. We see there is a trade off between freedom-from and freedom-to. Which had the greater freedom? All of the universe together as a whole has the ultimate freedom to act on its predetermined course. A complete lack of anything has the ultimate freedom from responsibility to the other.I used to go out to a lot of shows to see local bands. If you like a local band and start going to their shows you inadvertently begin dating them.
Oh, and a quick note. Someone alerted me that my tendency to accidentally click "publish" when I don't mean to do so can cause problems for people with blog readers and feeds by showing them fragmented posts. I recognize that, but I assume I am going to continue to mis-click and more generally mis-think things. But also, while the above may have inadvertently appeared on a reader last night, it is actually a full post, just posted at the wrong time.
