The first in the philosphy series…
A few days ago walking home from school, for a flash i saw everything in a bit other way. It’s really hard to explain: it was as if i was looking through a veil (this world), and suddenly something shockingly shining beutiful thing appeared on the other side, and i could catch a glimpse of it.
I couldn’t recover for a while, so for a few steps i just stumbled further as if i was drunk (and i can ensure everyone, i wasn’t!). Now that i wrote this i remembered a scene that a hungarian philosopher and religion-professional Peter Popper wrote in his book The risk of playing chess with God: how the Shiva-believer Gandol became christian. He was sitting in the theater watching a play that was really boring for him after his meditations, but then suddenly, during the aria of a holy woman (i think Virgin Mary) a vision occurred to him, he saw a cross and some religious symbols, and because of this he started believing in the God of christians.
Well, i was like that, though not in a religious form. I thought “what if this world was only a veil in front of another, a much better, a lot more beautiful one, that we can only catch such glimpses of?” and wandered forth…
What then? Well… then it’s not an easy thing to imagine that world beyond. I know, this one’s troublesome and often boring and rarely beautiful, but if it is, then it is very much. I mean, this world can be also an easy, fun, beautiful place to live in, if you live right, but it’s sure much easier to long for a world in which you don’t have to fight for anything – but then where’s the joy of winning something?
I think there are things in this world, which are worthy to belong to a higher existence, thus i think they are from a higher existence. They are those persons or things who/which are always closely on the other side of the veil, so we can always see them, but never perfectly undersand or reach them. They are here, and still they are not. They are those loved by everyone, even though they are out of this world – or maybe that’s the reason…
I know well, that this writing is not a worthy philosophical train of thought. But i don’t care. No need to read if don’t like it.
