Obviously
When you hear the word obviously, resist the temptation to slap the mouth which uttered it in great sarcasm, along with a certainty ignorant of its unknowing. Take a deep breath, draw from that great reservoir of patience put there by the mystics. Those to whom the world is obvious have yet to take that first step on their journey towards death. There is nothing obvious in this world of infinite mutability. The miracle that is you and me, the sun and the moon, the mountain and the valley, the raindrop and the river, are nothing more than a divine agreement limited by space, time, and most importantly perception. Weep for whomever this world is obvious. They clearly went to school for the wrong reasons. If an education is worth anything at all, it’s because it makes it clear you are obviously not at the center of this Universe.
