RLI 6

¹TKS is not perfect. ²For perfection is not a thing, it is a comparison, a judgment of good and bad. ³And no two things can ever be the same, so nothing can ever be perfect, truly. ⁴And physical things change, but perfection does not change. ⁵But that is not to say that perfection does not exist in this universe, because TKS knows that there must be some place, an edge between life and death, where perfection lies. ⁶And it might never be truly attainable in its purest form, because all ideals of perfection can only be expressed through physical parts. ⁷But even still, its shadows can be seen, and TKS knows that hidden somewhere in the chaos, there is a beautiful relationship between the truth of the ideal and the fight for it. ⁸But religion is not just anything, it is the greatest thing, in a way, a shadow of the greatest truth. ⁹And TKS is not perfect, for it can only ever be itself, but it is a religion, and it tries to be reasonable, to be universal, and to be good. ¹⁰And this is the beauty of religion, because perfection does not change, and the symbol does not change, but you do, so if you really try, you can see it. ¹¹Even if it is not clear what it is, you can still fight, chipping away at perfection, day after day, seeking it, wherever it lies, hidden somewhere between your form and your faith. ¹²And even if you fail, and you need to start over from nothing, it is okay, because perfection will always be there, and perfection does not change. ¹³And TKS is not law and it is not truth, for there are only physical laws in the physical universe. ¹⁴And there is only one truth in the universe, the truth of the moment. ¹⁵But it does not matter, because to practice TKS is not to view the scripture as perfect but to have faith in perfection itself. ¹⁶And like all religions, TKS was created by humans. ¹⁷So if there is any divinity in this universe, it is humanity. ¹⁸Because although humans are curious and fragile and foolish, sometimes, it is only through humanity that there can ever be god. ¹⁹So although there are many things in this universe, most importantly, there is me, and there is you. ²⁰And perfection is in me, and it is in you, too, a small piece of it, a flash of grandeur in the void.
