Meaning

Nothing you see means anything. [1]

You say, what does this mean?  Everything means something. To me, this means that we create the meaning of everything we see, touch, feel, hear or taste in our own minds. We attach the meaning, to all things that we perceive.

For example, a table could be a place for things to rest on.  A table could be a place that holds special memories. A table could be something that divides a room. A table could be a place to sit. A table could be something to gather around. Or, a table could be, all of the above, or none of the above. Your choice.

Today, take a look around your room.  What do you see?  Do not assign any value to or judge what you see in your room. Just recognize for a brief moment that everything you see does not mean anything. [1]
