- When Does It End Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Hi, welcome to Wednesday, y'all! This is Wanz, The Wanz to be precise and you have stumbled into another episode of WANZOLOGY!! Ha, ha, ha, ha!! If you're new, welcome!! If you're not new, welcome back!! What is WANZOLOGY, you ask? WANZOLOGY is the musing and thinkings of this wonderful person that you're listening to and how he interprets life in general. L I G. , the human condition. That's what we do here. We try to make sense out of what really doesn't make sense, because life rarely, rarely makes any bloody sense. Ya feel me??? So today I, while I was having my coffee and bagel, I had a thought about, “God, when is all this crap ever going to end?”, and then I thought about what does that mean? What is the end? What is the end? When does ‘it’ end? When does it end? Realizing of course, that only we have dominion over what ‘it’ is. Whatever's going on in your world right now, ‘it’ is. It's happening. You can't deny it, you can't run away from it. That's what's happening, right? Now, I'll leave it to you to determine the good and the bad of it. But when does ‘it’ end for you? Whatever it is good or bad or in between, it could be the car trip you're taking right now, it could be the walk or workout that you're doing right now, it could be anything. Humans are weird that way. We tend to try to understand our moving through time by what we're doing and what we're doing is. Some people call it living, some people call it existing, some people call it the never-ending search for the meaning of life. Some of us are really simple and it could be, I'm just fixing a sandwich, and that process will end when the sandwich is complete and I eat it. So ‘it’ is up to you. What is ‘it’ for you and when does ‘it’ end? I get myself in these thoughts circles about what am I talking about right now? Well, right now, I'm talking about recording my thoughts on ‘it’. My ‘it’ right now is I'm recording this podcast episode. I'm sitting in my office and speaking into a microphone, and the process goes, I will elaborate on a topic, and then It'll end. And usually, it ends in a way that I hope causes you to think, “Oh wow, I feel that kind of same way too.”, because being that we're humans, there's a lot of stuff that we have in common. ‘It’, being the podcast, is my way of trying to understand the human condition. Everybody has it. You call it life, right? But it's a condition. We cannot help but not understand why are we here? What are we doing? Why are we doing it, and the most important question, when does ‘it’ end? I propose ‘it’ is whatever you choose it to be. ‘It’ could be washing the dishes, ‘it’ could be changing a diaper, ‘it’ could be your favorite comedy show, or movie, or musical composition. It's all inside of you, whatever ‘it’ is. How do you know when you are in control of ‘it’? First you have to know you're aware of ‘it’. Well, how do you know if you're aware? Well, the simple answer is, you think about it. Whatever that ‘it’ is, that's the it!! If you're me, you're going, “Oh my God, there's so many ‘its’ going on!!! I mean, the weather outside isn't ‘it’, my car isn't ‘it’, my, my cat isn't ‘it’. Exactly!! That's my point!!! In your life, there are lots of ‘its’! In everyone's life there are lots of ‘its’, so to ask a question, “Where does ‘it’ end?”, you have to be very, very specific as to which ‘it’ you're talking about because, you know, standing in line outside in the rain waiting to get into a movie and you're standing outside, it's in the rain and it's like, what are they ever going to let us in? Well, when is ‘it’ that standing outside? When is ‘it’ going to end? Don't know, do you? Iit takes what ‘it’ takes doesn't it and then you get inside and you smell the popcorn it's like, “Oh! I'm gonna have some popcorn! I can't wait!!” Same thing with being in traffic or waiting for the water to get warm when you start a shower or bath. ‘It’ is everything!! It is everything, and anything. This is how complicated this gets really fast, because ‘it’ can change hats so quickly. The previous ‘it’ can have nothing to do with the current ‘it’, which will have nothing to do with the next ‘it’. So what is ‘it’ for you? What is the ‘it’ that you question, “Well, when's this going to end?”. When does that hug from that person that you care about a lot, when does it end? And the feeling that you get from that hug, when does it end, or does it ever end? What about that look that you get when you're in the store, and you're picking up something, and you're thinking about buying it, and you notice someone's looking at you, and you don't know who they are, and you're wondering, well, why are you looking at me? When does that ‘it’ end? Do you get self-conscious and put something down and avert their gaze and scurry off? Or do you just look at them? What do I say, “May I help you? The F you lookin’ at?” There are so many ‘its’ to choose from. So, because you have this superpower, choice, how do you know which ‘it’ is the most important to pay attention to, to know when ‘it’ ends? Where and when that ‘it’ ends. It is whatever ‘it’ is currently happening right now. That's the ‘it’that you worry about. You don't worry about the last ‘it’, because it's already gone. And you can't really do anything about the next ‘it’, because it's not here yet. Have you understood where I'm coming from? That's the mind experiment. What is ‘it’? Where am I coming from? What am I talking about and how does ‘it’ impact you? Well, I'll tell you, you have to be aware of whatever your ‘its’ are and which ‘it’ is at the front of the line. Which ‘it’ are you in right now and when do you change to the next ‘it’? Meaning, you have to determine when does ‘it’ end. This is the power that you get. This power that you have manifests itself over the course of your life. You start realizing it when you get to make your own choices. You can remember when your parent would ask you a question and you answered the question. Well, that was conditioning. That was training. That was you learning about your control over ‘it’. Whatever ‘it’ is and as you listen to this, it's like, “What the hell is he talking about, ‘it’?”, it is everything and anything you make it. Anything YOU make it. Could be nothing, could be everything, it depends on your circumstance. That's the thing I love. It's like, for everybody, this is different because everyone is going through a different circumstance. Even if we were going through the same circumstance, we'd handle it different because our perspective about ‘it’ is different based on how we got to that particular ‘it’. Crossing the street. Some people go against the light, some people don't, because everyone has their different experience with that particular thing, that ‘it’. Most people don't even think about it at all. They don't think about crossing the street, they just look to see if a car is coming and they cross. Me? I'm a little more superstitious. I don't like going against the light it makes me uncomfortable. There's a certain order and rule to living. And living, living is based on these rules. You break the rules, in my mind, you're just chipping away at the living that you get. You're taking a chance with fate or karma. I've always said the universe is always listening. So You're in a big ass hurry and so you cross against the light. I mean I watched this happen to somebody once I'm with a group of people and everybody's crossing against the light and lady looks at me as she's starting into the crosswalk, “Come on!!”, I'm going up not going against the light! And she got to the other side, and right when she got to the other side, it changed, and it was time to walk, and I started walking. She saw that I was coming, and she took, like, two steps, her heel got caught in a crack in the sidewalk, and she fell down! My mind went, “See? That's why.” Now it's a total coincidence. Everybody could see that, right? But I still get to interpret what happens in life. My life. And for me, as I was helping her up, I said, “That's why I don't cross against the light!” Karma can come, and will come, at any given time. Usually, at the worst possible time. So you have to be careful, because the universe is always listening. So, to wrap this up, I want to ask you to dig deep, whatever you're doing right now, whatever you're in the middle of, even if you're just sitting and listening, that's an ‘it’ and the question is, when does ‘it’ end? If you're listening, does ‘it’ end when the podcast episode ends? When the music stops? When you turn your device, whatever you're listening to it on? When you turn that off? When you move on to something else, or maybe you're doing something while you're listening to this episode, you are in control of what ‘it’ is! Now, if you think about the really small things, and this is what I'm gonna leave you with, the really teeny, tiny, small things, the really small ‘its’ navigating your, your living space, putting away dishes, taking your pet for a walk, buying a loved one a gift, all ‘its’. When does ‘it’ end? The answer is never. ‘It’ never ends. When ‘it’ ends, you end…you end. That's the only way out, else there is another ‘it’ waiting to be done. Mind boggling isn’t it? Go forth and conquer your ‘it’ people!!! Be aware of the ‘it’ that you're in! Look at the ‘it’ that was, see if you can blow your own mind by being conscious about your own existence. Thanks for listening! Another episode of WANZOLOGY in the books!! I will see you, maybe, next Wednesday!!! Ciao for now
