Here it is guys. Hope I haven't butchered it.
The unexpected splendour of mere existence itselfTo merely exist is to be, utterly and completely, without the pretence of a priori purpose or meaning, wholly content with the unremarkable ability to breathe, think and live.
First things first, I am no intellectual. That should become clearer as you read on. Nor do I care to be. I am content with the ability to learn and though my critical thinking skills have increased considerably since departing from the sterilised confines of a doubt free Islamic indoctrination, I can still see there is some way to go before I can comfortably say ‘Aha, now I get it’. But, that being said, I’m in no hurry to get there. I quite enjoy the journey.
What I will briefly relate are partly reflections of things I’ve observed and part confessions. These are the experiences which have led me to believe that, to abandon most forms of enquiry is in the best interests of most people, to merely exist is all that is to be strived for. This may seem like a peculiar notion. What, no learning? No enquiry? No progress? Actually, I’m in favour of all these things. What I’m in favour of most of all is, yes to sanity.
You see, there is this need to fulfil a great appetite. Once I was under the spell, a most powerful and wicked enchantment, an enticing charm that should never be underestimated, an illusion so convincing that a world that had never been seen – only spoken of – became more desirable than the world bursting into life all around me. There were answers to be found. Meaning. Purpose. Reward. Redemption. All the important words with their heavy meanings were handed over to me…now there was no need to question. Allah told you everything you needed to know. Once that knowledge had been attained, your only purpose now is to obey. So prostrate servant!
