shakran:
clearly if you can avoid all cigarette smoke you will never die.
clearly if you avoid all contaminants, you will never die or age.
time will not happen in the same way for you, if you can eliminate contaminants.
i assume your interior space is free of contaminants--empty, white, pure, filtered air, filtered light, all food taste-tested--and so outside should be as well--it is your god given right to move smoothly through contaminant free spaces.
this right has unlimited extension.
your god-given right to move through contaminant free spaces is absolute.
it overrides all others because it is yours.
and what is yours is most important.
now the rest of us, we all know this inwardly, but we are Evil and because we are Evil we do things to fuck with you. that is why smokers smoke: to fuck with you, to tamper with your absolute right to move in all directions through a contaminant free space.
why?
because we resent your absolute centrality in the universe.
we are petty foul lesser beings who resent your absolute right to move in all directions at any time through an absolutely pure space.
we are closer to mud.
we are half-formed beings who still bear unpleasant traces of the material world.
we are not yet fully spirit, not yet fully realized beings. not yet pure form which has a god given right to move in all directions through contaminant-free space.
we are ourselves contamination.
