The ways of man is consistent therefore predictable. Relying upon five basic senses to guide him through life, he is made a literal prisoner of his body and desire; locked away within the wall of the self. The further he progresses in life, the more he looks back upon the past as if to chart course towards reverse evolution.
His thoughts (like a magnetic pendulum) swing constantly between two opposing objects of equal polarity. Not that of love and hatred or good and evil, nor life and death but something very simplistic, possessing a far greater attraction than anything he had ever encountered. The irony of introspection is realized when man is faced with the dilemma of choosing between what is known and the unknown.
Man seeks guidance first from the senses, then researches the past for precedence to act upon the future. He constantly contradicts his earlier decision with each further decision; either to act or not. What occupies his imagination more is, not necessarily the object of his desires but rather, his deepest fears; that to which he cannot imagine nor ever completely comprehend?
Man travels through life at the speed of light. He is compelled by strong desire to prioritize his time, and to limit (by any means necessary) his pains, misfortunes and mistake. By use of his limited and relatively infantile intellect, he scopes the heart of the atom, easily as he explores the vast depths of the heavens. This he imagines and/or pretends will establish, for him, a footnote, if only a paragraph; written forever upon the pages of time.
Man seeks to know himself and his environment through introspective analyses of all within his reach. He has accepted irrational limitations upon the functionary process of his mind and body, made provision [if and whenever] he falls to any harm or ill, and by way of modest intention; maintains toward perseverance in pursuit of happiness and perfection.
The only thing separating man from the rest of the animals is his unique prospective upon life. To survive, he learnt to adapt to the environment, and, to maintain his dominance; man adapted the ways of the [lesser] intellectual animals. More ironic, about his uniquely narrow perception of reality, that is; he sincerely believes himself to be civil and had reached the stage of enlightenment.
Sadly one day, the obscure mysteries become crystal clear and the unknown truth becomes obvious. Man, understanding not the profoundness of his own ignorance, mistakenly concluded; he had made a right decision, and had acted in accordance with all necessary fact.
