Calla's Twelfth Post

This Picture of the Mama Kitty is from before she was MY Mama Kitty. Mama Kitty used to live with my mama. . . haha. Isn't that silly!?


"Recognize that you are the truth" is what it said on my tea bag. . . How dumb is that? Really, I would like to know how dumb that is. Do you care to enlighten me on the dumbness? Or defend the dumbness, if you so desire, and tell me that there is actually not an ounce of dumbness in the quote? That would be interesting as well. . . But someone has to tell me something because I think that quote is dumb dumb dumb dumb DUUUUMB! (Those "dumbs" just prior to this parenthetical are to the tune of a song. . . figure it out and you win a bonus point! :] )

Even for someone who doesn't believe that Christ is the truth (which I personally do) "recognize that YOU are the truth"!? Have we really become so self-absorbed? Ok, so in my humble opinion God is like the only inherently existing thing, right? So that would make God truth, no? (If you do not follow that argument, oh well. . . just take my word for it. I've thought much about inherent existence and the likes)

But even if you don't believe in God why would YOU be the truth? I really just can't comprehend this quote. I don't get what it means. My mind cannot wrap itself around something so trivial as an individual (who will die and decay and what not) being (not solely representing actually BEING, "are" is a state-of-being verb and what not) the truth. How can a person be the truth? Above nature or the world or space or time or spacetime or reality or tradition or power or belief or faith or skepticism. . . YOU? REALLY? REALLY!?!? Well, I find that rather absurd personally. Explain to me why that isn't absurd.

Are we each on some great quest for self-discovery? What ARE we? Sixteen-years-olds reading On the Road and experimenting with pot for the first time!? Why is it ok in today's society for everyone to continue to think that THEY THEMSELVES are the end all be all of their problems and of their needs. This is not some stage we are expected to outgrow any longer. . . It is perfectly acceptable. . . IT IS ENCOURAGED (by the yogi tea company) to continue to act this way til death.

YOU are the truth. . . See, relationships and love and caring for one another, THOSE aren't the truth. . . nope just you, solitary and alone. You You You! Embrace your egotism and understand that you are all you need to get by in the world. Realize you needn't see the world as full of social woes or injustice or suffering. . . Just embrace your innerpeace and realize you are the truth.

AHHHH!!! AHHH!!! SERIOUSLY SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS AN OK PHILOSOPHY! Does it really not occur to other people that sharing is caring (hahahaha!)?

No, I mean, for real, for serious, what does it mean to say that you are the truth!? Ignoring that the rest of society, the rest of the universe, the rest of life is truth. I mean I think everything CONTAINS truth because everything contains God. But YOU are NOT THE truth. . . You CONTAIN truth. That is so incredibly different it's not even funny. (Really, some of the stuff I say is funny, but that is not funny.) Do you not see that this is why the world functions so poorly? Everyone thinking that they just need to look inside themselves and find fulfillment and thinking that everyone else should be doing the same so that they also don't have to deal with each other because if EVERYONE'S looking inside themselves for fulfillment no one needs each other.

OH ME OH MY THE WORLD MAKES ME CRY! (That is a funny thing to say though. . . yea, that part was funny.)

UM, DUMB! The world is full of idiots. But it is NOT full of isolated idiots on a solitary path towards an individual attainment of enlightenment or some other bullshit. It is full of inter-connected idiots. Idiots who depend on each other, love each other, hate each other, WHATEVER each other. . . but the point is they do something to each other. . . . and each of them contains some truth. (Cause they contain some of God, or because God desires to contain them, or because they desire to contain God, or because of something. . . but in my opinion because of God.) But whatever the reason, YOU are not the truth. That is just stupid.

¡The End!

Love, Calla and her kitties because Jesus made all three of us!!
