God, on the other hand is immortal, eternal and infinite. When God said "I am" it was a sublime, succinct factual statement of monumental consequence. The very existence of His being changes all things forever. He is the reason for all of this.
Conversely, when man says "I am" it reflects a temporary state of being, an existence transitory and subject to the smallest whim of fate, Nietzsche and Hank notwithstanding. He, man, is the i of that equation, the imaginary threadbare patch that barely reconciles a collection of disparate conflicting realities; the known and the unknown, being and non-being, id and ego, good and evil. Absurdus infinitas.
Man oscillates between these poles, never resting; seldom secure. My answer to bb's most excellent question, arrived at via this unusual path, was simply going to be; Man is Motion. And my implied question is; motion to what end?
i moving towards I.
Well then, I shouldn't worry much about what I believe or do, for how could it matter to a twinkle of light?
Does it matter what I believe? Does it matter what I do? Why?
