The mundane captures all our attention if we allow it.
If we were less absorbed in our subjective emotions and intentions, in the superficial and the sensational, and in the continuous flux of activities surrounding us in life, we should perceive with wider, deeper clarity the human condition and the immensity of what we do not know.
Some say, of ideas or beliefs, or of different viewpoints, "this is surreal", "this is impossible", "this is absurd, without meaning".
To others such things represent both vision and experience, the results of efforts expended in reaching past the "given" in life. Such habits of mind as they now practice may be common knowledge and custom sooner than one may think.
The possibility exists that, while such perspectives as these can and do grow into the future, so may they have had previous existence in ages past.
