The Death of Metaphysics

without comments

For a very long time, I have studied metaphysics in all its multi-varied forms.

I was always looking for some path.  A path to answer the so called “deeper questions”.

A couple of weeks ago, I chanced upon the below:

When Hofuku and Chokei took a walk
in the mountain, Hofuku pointed at it and said, “Look here, this
is no other than the Holy Peak itself !” Chokei replied, “Fine, just
as you say, but what a pity !”

Over those weeks since I read this, I have found this simply story contains the beginning and likely the totality of the path that I was looking for.

Realizing this is profoundly liberating and there is no irony in that statement.
