Christian Freet

We bore out doors and windows to make a dwelling, But the utility of the dwelling is a function of the nothingness inside it. Thus, it might be something (you) that provides the value, But it is nothing that provides the utility.

ā€” Daodejing, Roger Ames & David Hall

While ultimately Free Will might always be a question, we at least have some local control. So, when are we no longer tools, at what point to be become responsible?

Judgment builds motive,
which forms experience,
urging our judgment and
coloring observation ā€”
two sides of the same coin
we must learn to discard.

Past action is past thought
is present self.
Recall is regret unless
suffering is accepted
and released.

Our awareness fills oblivion
like gas expands in vacuum.
The only question
is the source of dogma:
either shall one be intentional
or it will be provided.
