What are you waiting for?
Tonight I learned that we think we know, but have no idea. Certain people are of the opinion that there is something original out there. That is certainly laughable. There is nothing new under the sun. Some folks think that wisdom is something they can achieve. Nien. We are all relatively stupid. What can we possibly know?
I will be the first to admit that I'm dumb. Its far better to admit you are dumb than think (falsely) that you are clever. Doesn't work that way.The wise ass admits he's dumb. The perfect is the enemy of the good. So why are we trying to be better when all we can be is mediocre? Its far better to laugh at yourself. Anyone who's lamented knows that.
White people think they have it made. Yes, I am mostly white, but I try not to let it control me. The truth is that there is no truth. In everything there is only a grain of truth. The truth does not make you free in as much as an illusion can't. What makes you free is submission to the fact that you may never know the truth until you die.
Some are of the opinion that it doesn't matter. Fuck pragmaticism. Faith is the key here. Have you no faith? Know faith and you might live. Lose faith and with it goes your hope for life. I am the knight of infinite resignation. I am the knight of faith. All those who can't deal or cope are lost. I'm not. Thanks for the inspiration...
Why do we often here so many racist, religious zealots claim that freedom isn't free? Its like that country music parody they wrote for Team America. What would you do... Freedom costs a buck o five. God, I wanna go watch some South Park.
Freedom is defined in a negative sense. Freedom means the abscence of restriction. So how the fuck are we as Americans even gonna be free? There is no such thing as a free country folks! Ever spent time in jail in a free country? I have. Didn't seem so free to me.
Speaking of confinement, I love Confined written by AILD. That night I never came home, wondering souls captured my thoughts. Emptiness filled my mind. Urgency spoke her lies into the confines of these grey walls. I watched them move together taking me places that I cannot remember. We have been poured out into this loveless bride. How quickly I forget that this is meaningless. In a world passing thru my fingers I still chase the wind. What have I learned from yesterday? Apparently nothing.
Speaking of confinement, why do we still encarcerate for certain crimes? Shit, if what you did is really so bad why don't we just kill you and let God sort it out like the Jews of olde? Then we will find out who the real sinners are. Kill me for shooting smack, snorting coke, smoking pot, and drinking. People would be outraged @ the sight and the site. So let's stop paying to feed petty criminals and just kill them so they'll never do it again...
Or and this is a big if, let's lose our prohibitions. Cop provisions feed my addictions. It was written long before Christ by Loa Tsu in the Tao te Ching that governing a country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking and prodding. Let the kids smoke their fucking pot. If its as bad as you say they will eat all the cookies and die of food poisoning. Control is dead in this blind world...
Life...such a complicated thing. I often wonder whether this is hell or salvation. Perhaps existence is your salvation or perhaps its your hell. Still torn.
Can't really wrap my mind around the folks who get hung up on good and evil. "Well," says Father McCatholik, "When Jesus brings the porkchops, there won't be the problem of evil. He'll just put those loathsome folks in hell, purgatory, or limbo with the handicapped." Do the handicapped go to hell? Probably.
However the problem I have with Jesus bringing the porkchops is the absence of evil. Life is a balancing act filled with double principles that define each other. Thus spake Zarathustra from the Iroqious tree of life. The eagle flies overhead.
I wonder what goodness looks like with no evil in existence to define it. Thank you, God, for I am not, nor ever have been a silly Catholic.
