Perhaps simplicity in living (physically and mentally) minimizes the need for incessant decisions, so being in the world but not of it begins to make a good measure of sense with what you say here.

Just the other day, I was thinking, it is at long last time to allow the past, all of it, to whirl away into the wind, like so many autumn leaves fallen around a maple tree. It's going to take a lot of meditation (because I keep trying to recreate my Grandmother's kitchen), but I think it can be done.

"And when you take your final breathe, will you realize only then that it was all for naught? Will you finally resign yourself to fate?"

I still think it matters what one does, or, in contrast, what one doesn't do (in matters of how one treats another, the earth and such things). Then again, that may be based on beliefs as well. There is a song, sung by the late Steve Goodman, about the post Civil War entitled "Spoon River" (inspired by the literary work, no doubt) and a verse in that song goes:

But you know and I know
there never was reason to hurt
When all of our lives
were entwined to begin with
here in Spoon River.

...entwined to begin with, that's what is forgotten, I suppose.

I like the post. I like how it is articulated.
I wonder what is inherently wrong with the human being. Still, the notion of ego being an appendage of Purgatory makes sense as well...in my own mind...often...of course.

Blessings,

Mike, Your observation of the "weight" of some of the difficult decisions made re. certainty and uncertainty; you've nailed it! Love, love, love; "Do you think God gives a shit about your made up delusional morality?" I'm "struggling" with very important decisions right now; and while sitting here drinking coffee, reading the blog of a 'mad scientist', lol...what resonates repeatedly right now is, "...free yourself...".
Still a fan. Great job freedom fighting against conformity with our egocentricity...Robyn
