Hurts.

It hurts. And it's complicated.

Often it hurts because it feels good,
But then we have regrets, needs, fears, wants...
And so we destroy these things.

Maybe thats good.

If thats so, I don't like it.

I get it, but I don't like it.

There is no good solution once we begin to behave like humans. Its a maze that we enter, before we even have the wherewithal to recognize where we are headed. We spend our first years behaving naturally, naturally exploring, forgetting, learning, we don't even know we are in the maze. We eventually realize what we are, and we panic, but we cannot ever leave. You could try to solve it, but the answer is not an exit, there is no exit.

What is the solution?

Climb over a wall or two? You are still in the maze, and now you have lost what obscure point of reference you may have even had.

Break down walls? You are still in the maze. And its looking ugly.

You can imagine you aren't in the maze, but then you waste away in one place.

I think I need to just make my home in the maze.

(when I was little)

I think I need to just make my home in the maze.

(I didn't know)

I think I need to just make my home in the maze.

(The more I learn, the less I understand.)

The maze has no exit because its an endless place, there is a lot more to see. There is lighting high in the clouds beyond the next mountain over. It is very lovely.
