Man made

Bought Jay - Fantasy album from Inverno the other day; found out its been 10 years when i 1st get impressed by his songs...

There are many things in our life that we are living for, or at least believe it is the reason we are still living. Luxury, Power, Lust... many believe these are the ultimate goals of life. Of cause, some nobel man are fighting for better man future, justice, peace, national, etc... and they obviously believe that is the meaning of life. Perhaps, all of these are more or less man made?

Genghis Khan, a great conqueror, once written down his experience in forest and started to puzzle of his life. He was hunting in forest inside his country boundaries, and a rabbit was running pass, he ordered the rabbit to stop, but it did not listen. He thought of this: All the boundaries and my power are man made, it never actually exist.

There is one man who farm goat on mountain, he is rich but still single despite his old age. One conman went to him and tell him that he is willing to help him find a wife but he must first pay him. The farmer was pleased and pay him lots of money. The conman then wrote a love letter and bring to the farmer telling him that his wife is pretty and love him a lot. The farmer was extremely happy and pay even more to the conman, he replied love letter to the girl. After a few replies between the two, one day, the conman suddenly inform the farmer that the girl no longer love him and wanna stop the letter sending. The farmer sad and cried.

Think the farmer is absurd? Then, when man lost their power, they cried, isn't it more or less the same? Everything was a lie told by a conman and we choose to obey it because we believe it so deeply. Why should there b boundaries? Why should man have war and die for man made boundaries?

What is fame? What is money? What is power? Are they all man made?
