With 6 billion people in this world, I have no reason to think I'm special... Unless I ever *do* something special. Like cleaning my room

I am not special - but I certainly am different. Many are the times where a normal human being would experience joy or sadness, laugh or cry. And I only experience emptiness. Often I feel an empty void deep within my being, and I know that it was what once used to be my humanity.
A human I was is now dead, and yet I live on. What am I? I don't know yet, all I am sure of is that the being I am now only looks like a human - and is not one. |

I'm special (in the UK at least) because I'm competent at foreign languages and can also function on my own. I am also OK at art and skilled with computers.
Ooh! And I can write IF, so that's a bit special. |

We are all special, and different, and the same.
I am a bit more than the rest of you, but that doesn't change the above. |

Something kind of interesting I've been looking into recently is world views, like Hebrewism vs Shintoism vs Hinduism. I found a great lecture series by Allan Watts through bit-torrents. He sums it up by catagorizing the different views down to three. Hinduism, and buddhism to a lesser degree, look at life as a drama( Basically we are all God in a dreamlike state trying desperately to forget ourself through experience); Hebrewism and all of its derivitives( Christianity and Islam) look at the world as an artifact (the world is created by the heavenly father and is a construct. We are put here to claim dominion over the world and all of its creatures)and Asians look at the world and this exsistence as an organism (The Tao is the life force and is in everything. It is egoless and impartial. We all depend on the environment and don't come into this world, but rather come from it).
Great pole dude k: |
