from What’s Going On Here?, Vol I, No 1 by Rhondell

The human race has made themselves nervous wrecks and put themselves in bondage for countless ages by asking an endless series of “WHY?” questions. Why did it rain on the day I wanted to do on a picnic? Why did Uncle George get sick? Why is it people have wars? Why are people unhappy? Etc., etc.

All WHY questions about living are, in effect, unanswerable, because when an attempted answer is given the next question is “Why that?” The wise call it the Serial Why. It makes infinite loops in the brain, which creates severe nervousness and creates dependence on some would-be authority who says they can answer the WHY questions.

“WHAT?” questions ARE answerable. Such as, WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? WHERE AM I? WHAT AM I? WHAT CAN I DO? What I am — I think it takes very little observation to see that I am a privileged invited guest here on this planet Earth where Life is the Host. What’s going on here? It is obvious, when you see many people all playing games, that we would ordinarily call it a party — so it is a very big party. People play the business game, the traffic game, the political game, the medical game, the marriage game, the love game, the war game, etc.

What can I do? It is fairly obvious that I am at a party, the Life is the Host, and what I can do is to be what is TO ME a good guest. Everyone decides for themselves what being a good guest is to him and to her. The bare essentials of being a good guest is probably consideration for the Host, the party, the estate, and the other guests; being as harmless as possible and making some LITTLE contribution to the party. Not that it’s needed, but as “my” way of saying Thank You for having been invited to the party.
