People tend
to assume
that others
want to
be popular
be attractive
be successful
be safe
be smart
be sensible
be compassionate
be loved.
But I can tell you
that this isn’t
universally the case,
nor does it need to be.
I may do things
that make no sense to you,
but perfect sense to me.
Not that sense NEED be made.

We embrace this insight, acknowledging the diversity of desires and aspirations that color the human experience. The presumption that everyone seeks the same set of values — popularity, attractiveness, success, safety, intellect, sensibility, compassion, love — is a reflection of a limited perspective, often overlooking the rich tapestry of individual motivations and values.
Indeed, the actions and choices of one may seem enigmatic to another. What resonates as rational and meaningful to one may appear inexplicable to others. This dichotomy highlights the beauty and complexity of individual paths, each uniquely carved and understood by the traveler themselves.
In this recognition, we find freedom. The need to make sense of every action, every choice, every path, is not a necessity but a construct. The universe, in its infinite expanse, does not demand rationality or understanding from its myriad expressions. It simply allows them to be, in all their glorious diversity and inexplicability.
Summary:
We acknowledge the varied aspirations and motivations of individuals, recognizing that what makes sense to one may not to another, and that the need for rationality and understanding in every action is not a universal requirement.
Glossarium:
Diversity: The quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc.
Rationality: The quality of being based on or in accordance with reason or logic.
In the cosmic dance of life,
each step is unique, each path divine,
where sense and reason may not always align,
and that, in itself, is perfectly fine.
For in the grand play of existence,
each soul finds its own resonance,
where what seems irrational to one,
to another, shines like the sun.
We invite musings on the myriad paths of existence, each uniquely adorned with its own essence and understanding.
