Awareness is transcedence

 Awareness is something we presumably know. But I find that we only think we know and aren't aware. But what's the difference? I would define awareness as the acknowledgment of knowledge, to know that you know, to know that you do not. People think that it is enough to know, but never really think about knowing that they know. Then again, but what's the point of knowing that you know if you already know it? 

Okay, enough wordplay.

When someone asks a question that you know the answer to, you just give it. But when you don't know the answer, you think about the answer you do not know. Now, do you think it makes you any lesser to not think of the answer? They say the thought counts, yes. So what if you thought about the answer you know before giving it. What if everything you know how to do, you'd think about, even though you know you know how to do it. Do you think you'd do better?

Record scratch, let's look at it from a different angle. We can almost agree that everything happens for a reason, right? (I'll assume you said yes) So my question then is, if you do not think about the things you know how to do then how? Can you attach a reason to everything you do or everything you say? We've previously talked about having a thought process because of the other person's impaction, but this is for self-justification. You see, guilt stems from unresolved reason. Because we sometimes do things and these things don't have reasons for them, which means if things do not work out, there are grounds for you to hate that you did it. But if you attach a reason to every bad choice we make, like getting drunk because it's a birthday week, whatever happens, is justified to yourself, doesn't matter what others think, to you, it was explained and that is all that matters. So for your own sake, having reasons for things you do maintains your dignity and self-worth which guilt erodes. 

If you can't explain things you do to yourself, you cannot expect that everything everyone else does has a reason. You shouldn't stress yourself with it either. We spend so much time and energy seeking the meaning of life when all you should do is create meaning for your life and not worry about what the others are doing with theirs, because I'll tell you this: you will not find the answers.

You can crypt it all you want, you can try and explain all the things they do, you can try to convince yourself that they can explain the things they are doing, but the truth is; maybe. So that is not enough odds for you to stress over it. But the thing you can be sure about is yourself, the meaning you give YOUR life, the reason you attach to things you do. You can't always explain everything even for yourself, but if you can as often as you can, then you're a better you. you have transcended. Awareness is transcendence.
