Nothing Happens

What if something really big

hit the earth and turned it into

dust?

There won't even be a memory

left of humanity...as if the earth

never happened.

The universe wouldn't blink 

an eye. 

If nothing happens, how can there

be karma? How can something that

didn't happen affect future events?

It doesn't, and yet, it does...for the

same reason as why thoughts 

travel faster than light.

The same reason as we seem to 

exist, and yet experience is 

constantly changing. You can't 

put your finger on a table and say:

"This is real." because it's only 

a temporary phenomenon. Human

experience is even more ephemeral.

We might have a table in our house...

The table in the morning is pretty 

much the same as it will be in the 

evening. We however, might feel,

(usually do), completely different than

the way we felt in the morning. Yet,

we still answer to our names, put on

a smile and pretend things are great,

trying to make it all seem real and

really happening in a way we expect

it to be, in the worst cases.
