The Riddle
To solve a riddle you need to step out of the frame.
Not my words. Words of Salman Rushdie. Maybe not his too.
How do you step out of the frame.
Do you go to Shangrila, live with the buddist monks and ruminate about the frame and riddle. Or
do you transport yourself to
This is and is paradoxically not an existential question. Men have lived and died without even trying to figure out the answer. Men have lived and died trying to figure out the answer. Men have lived and died supposedly figuring out the answer.
To get an answer you need to figure out what the riddle is. If you ask me the riddle has multiple forms What or Who is God ? How did the first Amoeba come to existence from the amino acids floating around ? What is our purpose of existence ? And the biggest question of em all - Why ?
Firstly lets try to figure out if you can answer the riddle. Can you step out of the frame to answer it? The frame here is life. To step out of the frame is to step out of life. The boundary conditions are pretty solid. If you can step out of the boundary, you may see the answer. You can be dead and figure it out but can you be dead and alive at the same time. People apparently have done that. If they have they should have immutable proof. The proof we have is subjective and not immutable. Maybe the riddle wasnt meant to be solved.
Or maybe there is no riddle at all. Am I saying the riddle itself is bakwas. Maybe there is one but as far as we are concerned there is no answer. Thats the answer to the riddle. If there is no riddle there are no answers.
Can you find something that is not meant to be found? You
can if you dont search for it. You wont find it, if you try to search for it;
as you would be operating under those boundary conditions that inhibit your
search. If you can find the answer then it is probably because you werent
searching for it. It just hits you when you werent looking for it.
Prima (facie evidence for) donnas a.k.a Gods dont exist. They are invented, even though they were supposed to be discovered.
Inventions of a surreal world meant to look like a holy communicado. Metaphysical exceptions deemed to be the rule. Sermons uttered by gospels and revered by the commons. Caused by the fear. Of the unknown.
Proof of Gods existence that spawned religions due to the lack of evidence to disprove it.
Faith that came into existence for the fear of being unfaithful.
Belief that came into existence for the
lack of belief in oneself.
