But then life inevitably dies. People don't want to accept that but it does. So nothing can be worthwhile really because it's all just writing in the sand.

I suppose I'm still looking for a meaning but really there is no meaning life just exists.

Like I say. I know the best thing I can do is just relax and be me . I just feel a little lost right now.
It's one thing to see clearly that life has no true meaning, that all that's real is nature and the self doesn't exist. It's quite another to come to terms with living your life that way.
I couldn't try to incorporate my new understanding into my everyday life even if I wanted to.

Anyway what I'll do is just relax and be myself and if I would like to say something here I will .

I'm reminded a little bit of something Troy said . Something like what difference does it make if we hold the position that the self doesn't exist if we act like it does?
Though I accept that the I is an illusion and there is no true meaning I still have the experience of being alive .
Interestingly though I wouldn't particularly say I experience an I . I'd say beauty yes and a feeling my life is worthwhile yes but a self not particularly.

Maybe there is truth within truth .
The the overall objective truth is life is just natural causality it's also true that within nature there is life and one of the experiences that life has is of experiencing beauty. Also a feeling that this beauty is something worth living for.
I still hold though this experience to be a delusion but it interests me that I don't experience the delusion of self anymore .

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding though.
When I say I experience the delusion my life is worthwhile perhaps that's not quite right .
It might be truer to say I notice thoughts feelings and behaviour.
I notice beauty and I notice satisfaction at beauty .
All of these things are true.
Does this mean I am the consciousness?
Does this mean I am the thoughts feelings and behaviours.
No. It's all just nature doing its thing .

Perhaps then I can say sure I love. Sure I see beauty. I just don't happen to believe that the world is the way it appears .
I believe that everyone of us are just nature doing its thing. Evolving .

I do think right and wrong exist. I wonder if it's right or wrong to bring a child into a meaningless world. Perhaps it depends on how likely it is for that child to experience beauty .
But then like I say there is no true meaning . Anyway nature will do what it's does. It has no choice . And we will do what we do because we are a part of nature .
So how will it all end . You'll die.
We're born. We live . We die. It's that simple. That's all there is . Meaningless .
Life isn't fair . It's not. But that's how it is.

But it's just a pattern.
It's the thought that suggests something is wrong.
There's nothing wrong . There is just a reality. Nature evolving .

What's to be learned then? Well we can learn the pattern. Learn about how things are. Learn of nature .

I had a thought today. I thought we can never hope to understand nature. Not through thought anyway . We can't know nature .
It's best that we just let go and be at one with nature. Stop worrying and go with the flow . Be nature .

We don't have to understand love to love, understand beauty to be in awe. The world comes to us.

So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to let go of wondering about the world and just be.
