Fairy Tales of the Universe

As the stars of the heavens are reflected in the calm sea, so are people's thoughts, feelings and circumstances are reflected throughout the sea of humanity.

Many of the minds in that sea of humanity are arid and suffering. It is up to us seeking enlightenment to succor those people who need it and want it.

Most of humanity sees the world as incomprehensible. It is so incredibly complex, that they invent simplistic stories or fairy tales of the universe to try and understand the world. If the simple explanations are appealing enough to the human psyche, then those stories gain traction. Eventually they become a belief system, and that belief system embeds itself into the governance of peoples.

Any system of governance should be free of dogmatism.

In the sea of humanity, no matter how comforting they are, any false explanations, ideas and doctrines should be rooted out, and the truth shall shine bright and free. Humanity will be better for it. Fairy tales of the universe should not be used to govern the days of our lives.
