THE NEWS
TALK & INTELLIGENCE
What
passes for intelligence among the ignorant, (everybody),
is
to talk about what everybody else is talking about.
Why
has it been so commonly said that too much knowledge makes a man sad --
--
even mad?
What
kind of knowledge do they believe they are speaking of?
Routinely
does the mind, when unable to answer a direct question,
offer
a history of the background from which the question arose,
(“What
is the difference between Socialism & Communism?”);
likewise
does a man’s mind handle questions regarding it defining the man;
it
will, instead of giving explanations of his nature,
offer
an endless, meaningless history of the man.
What
passes for intelligence amongst the ignorant, (everybody),
is
to express concern about what everybody else says they are concerned about.
Life,
say all who feign reflection, is made up of pleasure and of heartache;
to
one of these, a man awake would not admit.
Maxim Finally Corrected For Suitable Use By Ordinary Minds:
Life teaches men to be less severe with themselves than with others.
God
said: “Let there be light!” -- and there was light:
He
then said: “Let there be dark,” and then said: “Where the hell’d the light
go?!”
Life
teaches everyone that you simply -- cannot
have it both ways –
-- ‘cept, (Ha
Ha!)
-- the few never learn.
(Some
years later, when asked about it directly, The Big Guy pointed out that
man
was given light so that he would be able to see the sun.
[there are those who believe He-&-Life nurse a certain sardonicy........
.................................................which the few take as
instruction.])
TALK & INTELLIGENCE
What
passes for intelligence amongst the ignorant, (everybody),
is
to think about the things everybody else thinks about.
To
an awakened man, whatever it is, (unless it is too hot to eat), needs no
modifier.
Remember: the dead are not sleeping --
they are just dead.
Is your real life the one you physically lead --
or something else?
One rabbit’s ever-troubling private ponder: “Exactly what is
my duty to life?”
In
one style or another,
most
people live their life as though they are rehearsing to live their
life.
If
it is death that makes life worth living,
it
is ignorance that makes knowledge worth knowing,
and
then it must be sleep that makes awakening worth waking up for --
--
which leaves you with this:
what
then is the
operational distinction between any of the two?
Even
if you cannot speak Romanian, if you pretend that you can in every waking
hour, no one can prove otherwise.
One
man decided to stop thinking of his thoughts collectively
and
deal with each one individually as it appeared.
Thus
did he become the Robin
Hood of
his neural Sherwood
Forest.
POEM PERTINENT THE PARSIMONY OF UNITY
He with but one coat, cannot lend it;
he with one mind, cannot spend it, (waste it, that is.)
One
man pondered: “How, in the face of all ready evidence, can the human mind
--
--
the universe’s premier observer --
persist
in believing that what is to come will be any different than what has been?!
--
......(‘course
there is the possibility of that being mind’s proper nature.")
[“And -- Thanks be to Big Z”
mummered one man,
“For the few’s potential for impropriety!”]
To be asleep is to assist in preserving the obsolete.
No
business is fully operational until it has a slogan:
(“Number
One In Our Field” -- “Where Service Is All”)
–
and
likewise with man’s mind, its motto in everybody being:
Learning primes a born intellect -- all others, it thin coats in plaster.
One
guy’s theory is that the original purpose of speech was so man could get
laid without resorting to force,
not
unlike, (it might be noted), your brain's verbal treatment of your mind.
If
trying to wake up & clean out your head is not the raison d’ être
of your existence,
then
all of your life is an attempted hustle of one sort or another:
trying
to get someone else to give up something of theirs to you --
but if you are struggling to Know What The Deal Is --
Those
who think anything of value is to be said about food, sex or slumber
are
as far from realizing what is going on in life as the blind are from the
sighted.
Hearing
ordinary people attempt to explain human behavior
is
almost as boring as the thing itself.
Ordinary minds are able to express themselves adequately
The
opposite of something not correct is not its corrected version.
Does
a brace need a brace?! Well, why not!
What's it gonna hurt!
