"Ungravitate", that's great. A real mind-bender. Especially considering finding a way out is really finding a way in....see you inside.

hmm.. this one made me think.. it definitely leaves the reader pondering and thinking.. well written!

"Gathering strength to resist The automatic drifts of attention That invariably lead to the labyrinth of death" Motto of man....well said, there is a lesson in this.

I am happy to see ‘some one’ pointing to the ‘doings’ of the nature one is so unaware, claiming ‘choice to be’ a birth right. Where is the choice, when there is a constant ‘drifting’ caused by those numerous known and unknown chains of cause and effect supported by other Laws that is? The realization of this predicament is the ‘realization of the DEATH’, realization of the horror of the situation. Needless to say, the power we derive from the ‘death’ pushes us in but to a battle field, in a conflict TO BE or NOT TO BE, to ‘ungravitate’, to unshackle, to rise, to defy the laws, because the choice’ is here though a very limited one. The ‘choice’ is to switch from the nature determined role that of a passive force to active, turning the table against the ‘happening’ effected by these chains of cause and effect. Yes, we can ‘choose’ here to ‘UNDO’ the doings of Nature we claim as our doings, which’ shall weaken my drift’.
Yes, we ought to behave like a ruthless warrior
‘to resist
The automatic drifts of attention
That invariably lead to the labyrinth of death’.

Your thoughts speak of action, that choosing to live, to be now, to leave behind the distraction of death. Very thought provoking and important. Thank you!

This one REALLY hit home. It made me ponder my own feeling about life and death. Very thought provoking- Excellent as always!

A living death, the most depressing kind - and more than merely a metaphor, as it's so often 'advertised'...and yes, we are, more frequently than we realize, or than we acknowledge, automatons acceding to the flow of purposelessness, of meaninglessness, and many other long and winding 'nesses' that amount to excesses of self-neglect. I particularly enjoyed the image of dealing 'ruthlessly with MY absence', which self-evidently requires pre-emptive action and constant vigilance. Anyway, your selves, Rules, have accomplished yet another classic expression of dichotomy, despite several heads being infinitely more of a hindrance than a solitary instance, or something equally vacuous :>
