ANNOTATION:
From finite to infinite--you can go there, ca'nt you?
This article shall be neglected for anyone who cannot imagine the situation. However, the author wants to assure every reader of this that never had in his mind of fooling no one. Let the author also assure that the concept hereby presented had been thought in several ears in his life and had a much effect on his happiness and knowledge and wisdom as if knowing some secrets only he does know. I am sharing this all secres to you, in the hope that this be helpful and that you be happy too. Keep this a secret unless you felt you are obliged to help.
Perhaps I am just one of the many people all over the world who have come to think when does infinity starts. When will the finite things act as something infinite. Let me illustrate this: When we add one to a certain number we can have another number, and we can repeat the processuntil we can go on forever. But still we d now that the finiteness of things still exists. For instance, after adding one to several billions of billions, still we have come up on something imaginable or more accurately finite. That is, the finiteness is still there. No matter how big we have come up the number is, give us time and we can fathom it. Well, adding one to it still affects the quantity of something. When we talk of the infinite we are also talking of something, if it be a thing, in which the quantity of one is not neglected and is not negligible but does not afect the quantity. My question on when does infinity starts asks on when the finite starts as infinite.
This is also the question when you are given supposedly a power (in fact we are actually given one right now)to move in a path without bounds as far as one can go. Imagine this case when a path is there and you can go forwad until forever if forever still does exist. That is why I titled this one can you go there?
I cannot give you a specific answer to the question can you go there. For I am talking here what mathemaics failed to fathom, they call it "conceptual gap." And I share this to you something I do fathom from the deepness of the knowledge and wisdom I once had in my life.
..................................................
If it happens one day that you have been there, how will you know that you are there?
Perhaps, what comes up in your mind right now is that you will never know nd you can't think about it. Or, perhaps you have answers that may not be likely to be.
I will tell you.
Yes, you are right when you tried to think that I also have never there. And you are wrong when you tried to conclude I never was.
Anyway, my point here is to tell you how will you know that you are there--before I will forget them.
As you go on the path to forever, every step counts. I mean here that every step is a distance farther from the beginning. But it seems just an instant when actually you will notice that every step now does not count. Of course, the things you are used to are there, they still exist, but there their existence also does not count. The path you are walking is there, but its existence also does not count. YOu no longer care for them. The way towards happiness is within reach but still they have no value at all. What good they may be, it does not matter. All the knowledge in the world, is there right in you but what could you do with them. Nothing.
Here, you felt you could do everything but you could do nothing. Because whatever you do whatever power you have they are not needed, they are not necessary for your journey. In fact, your journey now is not necessary but you are compelled to take that journey. Alright, it's time to give up. But giving up does not matter. The place you are in is no longer a place. For if it be a place then you exist. If it be a place then your existence does matter.
Do you exist? Does your existence does matter? Have you made other people's lives happy on the things you have now? No, you have not. For if you do, why are there things you have not shared because you think they are useless.
Your existence is to be defined. You show me that you exists by helping other people's lives. Right now you are in the infinite. Your existence does not matter. You are the infinity, whatever you are whatever you have it does not matter. Get everything you could have it does not matter. Share everything you have, the infinite of things you have right now--whose existence does not "exist"--it may not matter to your journey, at least it matters to the person's life you have shared. The things may not matter but YOU, INFINITY, DOES MATTER WHEN IN YOUR JOURNEY YOU HAVE MADE PEOPLE HAPPY. After all, you will know that you have arrived, when you realize that unlike before Happiness now does exist--within you and within all the people.
The author assures you that someone else is sad right now.
