Ultimate Truth [And How It Doesn't Matter]

7h3fr34k's official over-analysis of the phrase 'seeing through someone else's eyes.' At least.. that's kind of what it ended up as.. lol

 

When you look up to the sky

On a nice cloudy day

And you’d rather not think

But you do anyway

 

Think on perhaps

The people you know

Things in your life

Think things that are slow

 

Think any thing in the world…

But think not on the color blue

Yes, you’re looking right at it, however,

Fall not into its more ominous hue

 

Look, enjoy, describe, even feel

So long as you do not analyze and think

Do not break down the idea of the fact

Accept blue for blue, step back from the brink

 

The ominous chasm, the hole that is truth

You see merely a refraction of light

Deny not your mind! Put faith in your eyes!

I promise that all that they show you is nothing but right

 

You see it with your own eyes

How could it all just be a lie?

So think not on silly things

Rather imagine how it would feel to fly!

 

For do not negative thoughts lead to unhappiness?

Ah, but really, flying is much sillier after all…

If we’re being positive let’s at least make it interesting

So why don’t we jump instead of just fall?

 

Your eyes do what they do so they show you your blue

But do my eyes do the same as the eyes inside you?

Is it perhaps true that blue to you is to me a green?

Interestingly, this idea is very simple to be seen

 

Maybe everyone perceives blue differently

So what? It’s all called blue and that’s good enough for me

But if different possible perceptions exist

What shape would blue take if viewed with no twist?

 

Still, I inquire, notably unimportant abyss,

What good are questions which reveal only bliss?

The ‘question’ is not even a question at all

Merely a mould into which real ideas may fall

 

The dangerous part has been kept carefully hidden

As a blade up the sleeve of a friend selfishly bidden

Not until you jump into the clouds in search of gold

Do you see beyond the mist and watch the land unfold

 

The Truth is that which all gaze upon but all fail to see

Upon the correct action in a crucial decision you and he may not agree

What is the right thing to do? Who bears the fault?

What is good or bad? Who are these gods so many exalt?

 

So stop now while it still might not make complete sense

While you can put it down and avoid it like a violent drunk when he’s tense

There are infinite dunes in this desert of worthlessness

Where wisdom and meaning are the mirage

 

So do not dwell on the truth…

The truest form of something is irrelevant

If there is no life there to perceive it,

It is dead, a desert, with only the hope for life

 

However, there is a small path

Jutting from the edge of this abyss

Hopefully you find your feet

Precariously perched upon this patch of rock

 

That path is not a mirage, but true wisdom

That path is using not the question mentioned

But instead a question with an answer and a purpose:

What does blue look like when somebody else looks at it?

 

Why is it so?

What does that tell me?

What can I gain from this knowledge?

What can others benefit from my understanding?

 

Evaluate perception.

How is yours skewed?

How is yours better?

How is another persons skewed?

How is another persons better?

 

How is all of this information used?

 

Go. Explore. Focus on the path. And,

 

Don’t look down…

Author's Note

Just tell me whether or not it makes sense. I can't decide if it's pointless rambling or not.
