I should hope that my success will have been to reach a higher level and love another. Not to make another an object but simply one to love. No colours, no paper and no questions.
This quote has been trying to tell me something since I read it. The separation between the material and the emotional search is quite a concept, but why only one to love? I would rather say only love.
Leonard Cohen lived for a while in a monastery. He said that things became a lot easier when he no longer expected to win. What I guess my favourite contemporary philosopher (Alexis D) has to say about reaching a higher level is precisely what Leonard Cohen intended-we are surrounded by so many material objects of desire that what the heart wants is very, very hidden. For that you need silence, don't you? And even love can be noisy, so what a dilemma.
Anyway, I figured out that one can surf through life sporting some 'Chaos Theory' - everything looks random, but there is an underlying pattern. Can chaos theory be applied to people, fate, relationships? Here's one idea: do not worry about the external randomness, but let the heart speak on what is 'not right' and the underlying pattern will be apparent.
Did I get it right?

I like your way of thinking. It has given me a new perspective on my thoughts. I think we can agree that the world and our lives are full of stimulus. The chaos and the noise drowns out what the heart really wants. That is why reaching another level is a huge success in my opinion. I honestly don't know much about chaos theory but I like your idea of letting your heart lead the way in this world. Take care and keep dreaming. A
