Why I am not Hindu<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(karma revisited)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I can not be this dumb<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to have learned from doing<\/span><\/p>\n

This before<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just the mistakes<\/span><\/p>\n

But also the certainties<\/span><\/p>\n

Which are what?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing anything?<\/span><\/p>\n

What can we know? We think<\/span><\/p>\n

We know<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But can we<\/span><\/p>\n

Catch wind in a box<\/span><\/p>\n

Live life better than before?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The trouble is no one<\/span><\/p>\n

Knows, none of us survive<\/span><\/p>\n

We all live, how-so-ever<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We all die, how-so-ever<\/span><\/p>\n

What difference does our living make<\/span><\/p>\n

To the sun, the stars<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The sky above, the earth?<\/span><\/p>\n

What ever we think we know<\/span><\/p>\n

Is solely what we think<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only certainty<\/span><\/p>\n

Is death, everything else is<\/span><\/p>\n

Subject to change<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
