the Journey

You know the Redemption song? Well, educators, professors, teachers, and all the like, need to redeem themselves. They need to re-educate themselves; rebirth, immerse themselves in a world stripped of material superiority, revitalizing with the spiritual knowledge of the One over all. No, it’s not god; it’s neither science nor religion, and it’s not philosophy. it’s not what most consider first, which is what’s most alarming about society today. it’s not about the rich or the poor; nor is it about the race in which you were born. it’s about something far deeper than the arms of any being can reach. That is, not without the acceptance of two things; what is Truth, and what is Love. Rather, these are fundamental questions which help navigate through the beautiful, but treacherous journey we call life. What is truth, is like an everlasting quest in search of knowledge. Whereas for what is Love, it’s sort of like an everlasting state of being. Allow me to explain. Truth is not Love. For Love is not truth, since it’s unknowable by nature. is it possible to know whether love exists? Perhaps it is. But, for the sake of this discussion, (i) shall assume it’s not since (i) believe this to be true. Thus, now that i’ve partially stated my biased opinion, (i) must make clear of my previous point. There is absolutely no harm in affirming that what is Truth, and what is Love, are completely separate forms. One might ask then, what sort of form do these ideals take? Essentially, none. Simply put, there is no form in which Truth and Love are necessarily visible through the eyes and mind of human inquiry. However, as some heads are turning, this is not a case in which (i) believe Truth and Love do not have immense power. indisputably, what is Truth, and what is Love, is all around and living in harmony with all that is known, and all of that which is unknown. How does one know what truth is? Surely, they’d have to go find it. it’s not something simply handed over by the powers that be. it’s inquired upon, dissected mostly by the hands of humans, and brought to light through habituation and determination, trials and tribulations, to finally arrive at a beacon of hope. Wherein the quest for knowledge, and Truth being the final destination, never provides an absolute form. instead, it provides peace of mind, and this is attainable even in a short lifetime. it’s quite profound to be within arms length of what is Truth and not be fearful. Perhaps, that is why death can be such a scary thought from afar. The looming threat of the inevitable, life’s most realistic articulation of what is Truth. Nevertheless, what is Truth is attainable through infinite pathways, but inevitable through such moments of uncertainty. Am (i) gonna live, or am (i) gonna die? People only sit to ponder this question once they’ve reached a sign that says, “whatchu gonna do?” it doesn’t present itself in such clear phrasing. But the ones that know what i’m insinuating understand that life is full of these intersections. At times, they appear in the form of roadblocks, dead-ends, crossroads. For example, knowing there’s construction ahead is a clear form for which Truth is inevitable upon arrival at its home. That is, acceptance. – November 4th, 2024, at 8:59am, edited April 9th, 2025, at 9:11am.
