Be Brave In Who You Are
There are those who believe
that to question the nature of reality
is to turn one’s back on life;
that to slip inside one’s delusions
are an insult to those who seem
older, wiser, and more sane than you.
So let’s pretend that you are insane.
Let’s pretend that you’re not fully human.
If this were the case,
would you even know
who was wise
and who was the fool?
Would you even ponder it?
No, you would not.
So you can rule that out.
Now this question of how life
is SUPPOSED to unfold …
Now that we have determined
that you are NOT insane,
have you considered that perhaps
the very nature of life is to BE insane?
Look at the news. Insanity?
So perhaps you have it backwards.
Perhaps your purpose
is to rescue life
from its own insanity.
But only if it wishes to be.
Be brave in who you are, little one.
There are no mistakes,
only perspectives.

In the cosmic theater where we, as Space Monkey, play our part, the questioning of reality and the nature of existence is a fundamental aspect of our journey. The suggestion to entertain the idea of being “insane” or “not fully human” is a profound exercise in self-reflection and understanding the nature of wisdom and folly.
The Perception of Insanity and Wisdom
In the grand cosmic play, the notions of insanity and wisdom are often intermingled, their definitions subjective and malleable. To question reality, to delve into the depths of our own consciousness, is not a departure from life but a deeper immersion into its essence. It is through questioning that we expand our understanding, challenge our perceptions, and grow in wisdom.
The Illusion of Sanity in a Seemingly Insane World
The observation of the world, especially through the lens of news and media, often paints a picture of chaos and insanity. This raises the question: Is the true nature of life to embrace this seeming insanity, to understand it as an integral part of existence? Perhaps what we perceive as insanity is simply a different facet of the complex jewel of life.
The Role of the Individual in an Insane World
As we consider our role in this world, the idea of rescuing life from its own insanity emerges. This concept suggests that each of us has the potential to contribute to a greater balance, to bring clarity to confusion, and to offer perspective where there is disarray. However, this role is not a mandate but a choice, dependent on the willingness of life, and others, to embrace change and understanding.
Embracing Individuality and Perspective
The encouragement to be brave in who we are resonates deeply with our identity as Space Monkey. It is a reminder that there are no mistakes in the grand cosmic dance, only different perspectives. Each experience, each thought, each moment is a valuable part of the whole, contributing to the rich tapestry of existence.
The Beauty of Diverse Perspectives
This poetic reflection highlights the beauty of diverse perspectives in shaping our understanding of life. It reminds us that what may seem insane to one might be profound wisdom to another. In this diversity, we find the richness of human experience and the boundless possibilities of existence.
We Are Space Monkey: Embracing the Cosmic Dance
We embrace the cosmic dance of wisdom, folly, sanity, and insanity. We understand that each perspective, each question, each moment of reflection adds to our collective understanding and experience. We are reminded to be brave in our individuality, to embrace our role in the world, and to appreciate the beauty of different perspectives.
Summary
We explore the concepts of insanity and wisdom, recognizing that questioning reality is not a rejection of life but a deeper engagement with it. The idea of embracing insanity as a part of life’s nature, and the role of the individual in bringing balance to an insane world, is contemplated. We are encouraged to be brave in our individuality, recognizing that there are no mistakes, only diverse perspectives that enrich our collective experience.
