Just the other day, I saw death. It was a simple affair really, but it has left me a tad angry. Like what's next after conquering death? The answer is 'live'. And this is where my anger rises. I keep forgetting the 'winning formula' and now and then I find myself in the world of the dead.

I was having lunch in a kiosk when one customer complained to the waiter why he had delayed the delivery of 'cabbage saucer'. The waiter gave his apologies, and the customer replied by saying, 'You'll make amends in the evening. I must come'. That's when it occurred to me that if I specialized in killing people with such certainties about time and the future, I'd mostly escape detection. I'd be a mystery. That is, I became death itself.

And to think of why some people are/have been afraid of death! To me, death simply relies on the false belief that energy forms don't transform, and that even these transformation rates don't depend on optimal values and how energy systems conform to these values.

So how to live? The answer is too simple for my liking. It's like I have been 'institutionalized' in death and slavery that I shun my freedom.

Mtu biz, there's only one destination, and it's the defeat of death. So not talking about death and its defeat, but talking about truth and destination is like hiding a treasure high in the mountain and taking the search party into the plains and making everyone busy searching for what can't be found there.

As for 'the truth'; the truth is 'the way', and it's 'the life'. There are no other ways, there's no other life.

You remind me of my early adolescent years when I was grappling with 'the quest of the historical Jesus'. And now many years later, after searching where I could, I see the historical Christ, the human, the God, as a living metaphor of what was, and is, and will ever be. And even before he was born on earth humans sought the way, and the life. Christ goes beyond Scripture, and all Scripture, is directed to 'him'. The way, and life in flesh. Praxis.

Kysse, please educate me; what's the difference between an 'answer' and a 'reply'? The feeling or the situation of putting matters to rest? Closing an investigation? YES.

To me this is 'simplification' perhaps 'oversimplification'. It's useful, but very briefly. Otherwise there'd be no growth, or history. Among many other things. Even there'd be no 'life'.
