I’ve made up my mind, I think. Finally.

I’ve had the reasons, now I have the means. 

I’ll be leaving soon. I plan on hopping that train and never really coming back, but then again that really depends on where it takes me. All that’s left is to steel my resolve and say my goodbyes, dot the i’s and cross the t’s as it were. I don’t want this to turn into something long-winded but it’s probably all I’ll leave behind.

I guess I just want everyone to know how much I love them.

I like the idea that everyone is part of one soul, and that’s proof of existence. I’m not a solipsist, but there’s no way to prove an objective, metaphysical existence without using thought or perception. Perception is flawed since we’re inherently flawed beings, and the existence of thought doesn’t prove our metaphysical existence – even though our thoughts exist, that doesn’t mean “I” or “we” do.

I’ve always thought of God as a construct, or logically as the reason for existence. But something can’t come from nothing, something has always existed. This is also the root of the metaphysical question, “Why is there something rather than nothing?” There has to be, but it’s also not entirely necessary. There’s no way to prove existence, but nonexistence is too large to wrap our heads around. So, the answer to the question is that since there has always been existence, no start, everything that exists is God. Pantheism and solipsism go together, because God is the solipsist and everything you or I experience is part of that. Our minds, the world, our experiences, that’s why everything is infinitely more connected than anyone ever realizes, and that explains a lot about humanity.

"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth."
