Life is designed to be disappointing

@Someone here I resonate with Ramana on the subject of reincarnation. To me, the very idea doesn’t compute. 
 

In fact I know zero about anything, I’m just playing with the knowledge I already have acquired, that was already here prior to my personal appearance. I then draw from this wellspring of words to form my own models of make belief realities, knowing full well it’s all just pure storytelling, speculation and wishful thinking, or even hellish musings that I too wouldn’t wish on anyone. In reality though, all I know, is that I know nothing, and I’m absolutely fine with innocence. 
 

Yes, I’m here talking about knowledge because what else is there to do but talk about knowledge. But what I have come to discover is that everyone who has ever talked about knowledge has drawn that knowledge from the exact same place, namely, nowhere.

So even a tale told by someone’s personal direct experience is literally signifying nothing, because words are just labels, and labels know nothing about anything, how could they, it’s all just pure imagination, a dream.
 

And to me personally, knowing I know nothing, is just pure blissful music to my ears. Forever basking in the pure innocence that is life and death ebbing and flowing from one form to another infinitely for eternity for no other apparent reason than it just does and there’s nothing anything can do about it.
 

 

 

You have it right that you know nothing .but do you know why it is that way ? You'd have to be exceptionally brilliant for this . Why is it that "you know nothing " ?

Disappointment is on the same axis as expectation.

It is a projection and fantasy of a future outcome - which isn't inherently bad. We need to expect so we can plan. For survival. To learn and avoid danger.

The sting is probably coming from some form of entitlement to the future projection.

This might come down to conditioning. What are we consuming to form the future expectations?

I don’t know.

If you don't know why you don't know then you don't know that you don't know, do you ?
