FOUNDATIONS


Is your survival an option?
And so there are certain things you in fact must do...No option.

I referred to these as “basic needs”. In in reality the words “basic needs” are a bad description.
They are in fact” basic do’s”. They are a call to action. “Basic needs” is a static condition.
It is most correct to say that you must do something or act in some way to avoid death
Again no option. The basic do’s are an ongoing process...There is no time where you can stop doing them lest you perish. Again no option.

The basic do’s involve certain constraints...e.g. We are not able to eat rocks. We do not breathe water. That is that we are bound by certain conditions for a “continued existence”. No options.
These basic do’s are common to all men...No one escapes them. No options.
This is the foundation for life. I am seeing very little evidence of a free will or a free man.
I see a man who is tied up in so very many ways. If there is any slack in the ropes of his constraint, it is small yet still tied to consequence. Hence if you don’t eat now you will be starving later...Yet the present day world touts of freedoms, choices and individual pursuits beyond measure. Is there something wrong here? Is there something amuck? I am not smelling trouble at the very root of civilization?

All this constraint of which I speak, implies a path or road. Any measure of time implies movement. And so it is that we float or swim in a stream to a destination unseen...and once again no option.
