Stay ahead of the curve, and one day the world will catch up. If you are present when the world catches you and approves of you, you have fallen behind. The world may label you a success, but your lazy or lingering quiescence---your concern for and/or enjoyment of appreciation---has proven you a failure. Yet, it appears that a certain amount of recognition is necessary for functional productivity. These are puzzling and disturbing thoughts. These are thoughts that actively acknowledge the gap between greatest and good. These are thoughts that bear (a bright) light upon the frailty of one's humanity. These are familiar thoughts.
I believe it may not be necessary to expand on the written thought above. But due to the frailty of my humanity, I will probably do so, regardless.

Except to say...
The ultimate transcendence---the unencumbered purity of spirituality---is only attainable if one is able to forever stay just far enough ahead of the curve to listen and question and understand, and not so near as to create distraction or weaken resolve; just far enough ahead of the curve to maintain sincere respect and interdependence, and not so near as to cloud judgment with pride or envy or greed; just far enough ahead of the curve to still marvel at love and light and beauty, and not so near as to be overcome by gathering clouds and unnerving shadows and impenetrable darkness; just far enough ahead of the curve to maximize functional productivity, and not so near as to create a longing to linger.
The ultimate transcendence---the unencumbered purity of spirituality---is only attainable through willing acts of balanced mutual beneficence.
The ultimate transcendence---the unencumbered purity of spirituality---is only attainable in this Life; in this World.
For those who believe in an Afterlife, I believe it must be earned in this Life; in this World.
For those who do not believe in an Afterlife, I believe a transcendence---an unencumbered purity of spirituality---can be created in this Life; in this World.
It does not matter what you believe; it matters what you do.
