    Any perceived plurality is but a singularity and this singularity is Self. Self is One, division there is none. The answer to the question - why does Self perceive itself as plural? - is Companionship. Companionship equates to Love. Love is the meaning of Life for Life is Self desiring Love. Love is rightfully so the first and greatest commandment.

    So should we save absence? Should we save the void and this nothingness at the heart of the image? At any rate, removing meaning brings out the essential point: namely, that the image is more important than what it speaks about-just as language is more important than what it signifies.

    We are a speck on a flowing river of entropy that still gushes from an unfathomable beginning nearly fourteen billion years ago. We’re enthralled by a story we suspect the stars possess, but we remain unable to grasp its outline. We wander over landscapes, looking for histories the stones sequester, hoping there will be in them a flicker of an insight that will expose something worth cherishing.

    What use is the truth in a world where we die either way? Isn't it better to live happy until that last moment, believing the story you are living, shoulder to shoulder with others who believe and live that same story? Why flounder in the void when there is no need to do so? The story ends the same way, no matter how you chose to perceive it. Why not choose to perceive it as meaningful?
