the fullness of nothing

so i finished The Toa of Pooh,
and i decided that the principles of toaism are refreshing,
as any good book on a such a topic is supposed to make you think.


but as i was reading,
i was thinking (as anyone who is reading for comprehension does)
- i feel like i have a propensity to state the obvious today-

so i was thinking,
if you apply the thought processes of toaism
to things that happened in the past

-specificly to mistakes you have made, or choices you made that you now see as mistakes -
if you really think about it and apply these principles,
you can't help but feel better about these choices,
feel that perhaps they served a purpose.


in deciding on these "mistakes" purposes you are forced to reanylize your past actions,
revisit any form of guilt or anger you felt toward them
look upon them with fresh eyes.


any faith/beliefe that is forcing you to do that,
is serving it's purpose,
if you learn something - which you are bound to do looking at the past, what with hindsight and all - guilt will be relayed, or atleast rationalized, shrunken from the monster it has grown into in your subconsious, maybe they are not so much mistakes as they are paths, experiances, choices and consiquences which you realize now you have grown from.


profound, but it makes sense.
and any faith or life practice that stabalizes the subconsious, is serving a purpose,
it's like relgion by psychology.

interesting, and rationalizing.
one thing leads to another.


i keep marvaling at it profundancy.
but then again, isn't everthing profound at its core.


it just depends on your outlook.
hmmmm.
