A Tree didn't just POP into existence on it's own...it needed a seed, soil, water, air, sunlight in order for it to appear .
Imagine for a moment what it would be like if we weren't able to distinguish the trunk of the tree from the leaves of the tree or the soil of the tree or the air of the tree or the water of the tree or the bird in the tree - there would be no golden autumn leaves to admire, no birdsong to lift our heart, no way to get paper upon which to paint or write, no way to warm ourselves over a crackling fire, no way obtain the wood we need for furniture and houses, these are but just a few of the qualities of 'form of tree' that would not be available to us if we were always and ever thinking of its dependent nature.
I love to behold Van Gogh's "Starry Night", it makes me dance and sing inside, but I know that if I were suddenly transported to that world so that it became my 24/7 reality I would go mad. The truth is that if the 'boundaries' of things suddenly fell away so would our consciousness. Luckily, our consciousness is programmed to survive.
Me too. When all is said and done, its no big deal is it?Kunga: Anyways...this makes sense to me...
I am my universe and every part of my universe is me experientially.Me too. When all is said and done, its no big deal is it?

I don't care about your script.It is true that there is no ultimate answer to why good and evil effects are caused, however, for one who wants to live a conscious life (of conscience), knowledge of what causes good effects and evil effects right here, right now is essential. This being awake to causality is the universe trusting itself to do the right thing, not by the morals as dictated by "they say" but by its own reasoning of causing this or that thing to be released into the world.

Dear duality, your saviour of comfort gives me the structure of reason. I need and cherish this your ordered touch, for in the deep where your structured words come to life, my unflinching conscience knows of thought's eternal hunger for life and death and of its blindness of being made of this hungry thing.
Dear duality, dear hunger and its saviors, you are not an easy Friend, but you are the true Friend. After all, was it not truth I wanted when I came seeking its name?
