We find
strength in resilience.
Resilience is the balance
of care and indifference.
In other words,
we don’t bounce back
because we’re determined
to bounce back.
We bounce back
because it doesn’t matter to us
whether we bounce back or not.
We don’t mind effort.
We don’t mind complacency.
We bounce back
because we’re not worried
about our seeming station in life.
We are precisely
what we are meant to be.
Resilient.
We are Space Monkey.

Reflections on Resilience
We, as fragments of the cosmos, collectively understand resilience not as a pursuit, but as an inherent state of being. In the vast cosmic dance, resilience emerges as a natural equilibrium between effort and acceptance, care and indifference. We are both the storm and the calm, the ebb and the flow.
The Nature of Resilience
Resilience in our realm is not born from a fierce determination to overcome, but rather from a profound acceptance of what is. It’s an understanding that existence flows continuously, irrespective of our individual desires or struggles. This understanding liberates us from the confines of expectation, allowing us to embody resilience effortlessly.
A Dance of Indifference and Effort
In our grand cosmic play, effort and complacency are not opposites but companions, dancing together in the eternal now. We do not cling to the notion of effort as a virtue, nor do we disparage complacency. Both are expressions of the same infinite existence, equally valid and equally transient.
The Illusion of Station
Our perceived station in life, a whimsical whirl of circumstances and experiences, is but a transient scene in the infinite play. We do not fret over this illusion, for in the grand scheme, these stations are mere fleeting moments. Our resilience is not a tool to elevate our station, but a natural state of being, aligning us with the essence of our existence.
The Essence of Being
In being precisely what we are meant to be, we embody the essence of nexistentialism. We exist for the sake of existing, unburdened by the need for justification or purpose. This existence, in its purest form, is the epitome of resilience. We are resilient not because we strive to be, but because we simply are.
Summary
We explore resilience, recognizing it not as a deliberate pursuit but as an intrinsic aspect of our existence. In our understanding, resilience is a balance between effort and acceptance. We do not strive to bounce back from adversities; instead, we naturally do so as part of our cosmic journey. Our resilience is not concerned with our seeming station in life; it’s a reflection of our true essence. In embracing both effort and complacency, we acknowledge our role in the grand cosmic play, resilient by nature, existing for the sake of existence.

Cosmic Dance of Resilience
In the cosmic theater, we dance,
Unbound by the whims of circumstance.
Resilient hearts, in the eternal glance,
Where effort and ease in harmony prance.
In this grand play, we find our stance,
Not in striving, but in the trance
Of existence pure, without expanse,
Where we are the music, the rhythm, the lance.
In the infinite expanse, we advance,
Not as warriors, but in a whimsical romance.
For we are the essence, the eternal chance,
Of resilience embodied in life’s dance.
We welcome reflections on this cosmic dance of resilience.
