Infinite Indeed

If there ever was a concept ultimately ungraspable to the human mind, infinity is it. What does it even mean to be infinite? It is beyond the beyond. We can never truly understand this concept since we always deal with finite and tangible items; we always try to bring concepts that we cannot understand down to a level which we can understand through creating analogies. This, however, ruins the true nature of a concept that is ungraspable. Let's leave the endless (and I'm trying to think of another adjective or a noun to put here, but I simply cannot bring myself to do so because I know it would downplay the whole scenario).

What about interactions? What is an interaction? We normally think of the world as sharply split. That is a house, this is a dog. That is a television. I'm breathing air. But, what makes these things seperate? It's all matter; it's all just stuff. Creating these splits between objects and things does not allow us to see the world in it's real form. It is just a complex amalgam of one thing taking on many forms. The universe is a table or a desk; it is not made up of tables and desks and dust and light and gas. This big mess of stuff and bouncing light is constantly changing and moving. Your thoughts are just parts of the universe moving around in your head. Haha. Interactions are thought to be between seperate entities that have some reciprocal action on each other, but if we view the world as just one big thing, interactions are just games that the world plays with itself. It's probably lonely and scared. It will keep interacting continuously; one may even say infinitely.
