Today I watched a snowflake drift to the ground and melt and
it was in this brief moment that years of reading and reflecting on materialism
and physics became clear to me:
Nothing ever truly goes away.
Our favorite things, places and people will last forever but in
different shapes and forms. After
being free of religious dogma for over two decades, it is this very realization which yields the most liberating feeling of all.
"Life, everyday practical activities,
convince us that the world exists
it is of a material nature
objectively, independently of man,
of his consciousness, sensations and desires." – O. Yakhot
