Within Its Place

Within its place:

within its place — and with this we see that everything belong to the moment of its appearance, for however long its stay. This too includes our wish for change, our desire for things to be other than they are. Our every response fits right to this perfection.

of course it’s hard to see perfection in what feels wrong, and on every demonstrable level of our lives may indeed, prove to be catastrophic in the changes that it brings. Yet this is not about conditions; it’s a claim of our own right to accept what’s found, to respond in the very best way that we’re able, and not to judge ourselves by any standard. Perfection is simply how life flows, boundless, and without bias to the concerns and care we offer. We are not judged, our response only measured by the changing of conditions. There is no true sense of ever being wrong.

this is often argued as accepting things that shouldn’t be; crime, war, cruelty towards others, as well as every grave misfortune that befalls children. Yet these things are present to our reality, they belong not because they are accepted, but only due to conditions that deliver this conclusion. Things belong because they’re present. Our outrage is part of this acceptance, as is our response to try to change the world for better. It’s fruitless to argue against reality. Our role is to act, to be an agent of continued change.
