L.U.E. - An Anarchaotistic View

There comes a time in an individuals life when they see something.

It could be a book that moves them. It could be a movie, or the nightly news. It could be the actions of another human, or something found from within. It could be an animal never seen, or a piece of technology. It could be a found connection between two ideas they never saw before. It could be something that defies explanation.

Whatever it may be, it changes the viewer, and it changes them forever.
Whether this change is for better or worse, is an entirely subjective argument. The point is that it changes them, and they will never view their reality the same way again.

They can try to rationalize it. Try to search for meaning in what they have seen. Look further for the "why" in their experience. Whether it's there or not, they search. Whether they find it, or not, they search. They search, and then, they re-search.

Once they have seen, they can never turn their back on it. They can never pretend it doesn't exist. No matter how much they want to look away, and no matter who else wants them to. No matter how much easier it is to "go along to get along" they choose a harder path because it is more truthful to them. A truth they cannot ignore. They do not continue to look just because they can, or they are allowed to, but because they are compelled to.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they are re-born into a new person, and they leave their old self behind. Or perhaps a serpent, shedding the old skin for the new, becoming more true to themselves over time.

Beyond all stretches of the imagination, they are compelled by something bigger than themselves.

They are compelled.
That is why they do what they do.

This is why I do all that I do.
Because I saw something, and I am compelled to.
