In Re The Ceaseless Journey That Is Life:
you are either riding the train, or you are the train.

When it comes to the BigDeal: no one can tell you what to do --  including you --
oh, you can  --  but it doesn’t do any good,(now does it).
 
 

- - -







One man’s favorite love song is: “Everything I Do, I Do For Me.”
(He won’t say who wrote it.)
 
 

- - -







For the ordinary to consider themselves in the best possible position
they want to be, in-the-loop,
while a man who has seen what is going on strives for just the opposite.

Success in the physical realm expands your waistline;
apparently such in the mind, your pretentiousness.

“Son, an old proverb says: ‘It is better to be unread than to believe
everything said in books’  --  change that to, ‘anything’ --  and you have something.

....Wait, better still: wherever you would normally use the term, ‘I believe such-&-such,’ substitute instead: ‘I enjoy saying I believe such-&-such.”

To feel they are engaged in a worthwhile activity,
routine people need perceive it as being part of a large, commonly accepted one,
(such as Physics, Psychology, Theology)
while such a restriction is anathema to the man trying to see.
 
 
 
 

In (what one can only assume was) an effort to tout his intellectual wherewithal,
one man says that his brain is so strong
it resists all  attempts to influence it.

Stupidity has many consequences but sleeplessness is not one of them.
 
 

- - -








The distinction between advice and help
is the difference between asking someone what is going on and knowing what is.
 
 

- - -






‘Tis been said that more people would do right if they believed it was wrong,
so why then do not more men strive for understanding
since what is normally called knowledge is ignorance?         "Yeah, answer that!"
 
 

- - -







Q: How much about nothing can be said?
A: How long has man been commenting on things intangible?
 
 

- - -







Those who write epigrams in praise of ordinary people
                     are themselves far too ordinary to be read.
 
 

- - -






One man says: “I will give heed to a cut or broken bone,
but I’ll be damned if I’ll pay attention to the noise in my head.”

If what you know is dependent on what you remember has happened to you --

--  you do not know anything.

When everything possible's said and done
a man-who-knows
knows it’s time to run.

A man who says things that make others uncomfortable
is himself wearing an itchy inner suit.
 
 

In a wholly unrelated story: one man mused:
“Since I can just barely stand other people --
I assume other people can barely stand me.”

 
 
 
 

- - -







“Why does no one find it interesting that men do not dream of god?”
     “Could it be that no one notices it?”
“Yes.....that could be so, but if we let it go at that
then no question worth a real man’s time would ever get answered.”
 
 

- - -








“Which came first: the chicken or the egg?”
    “The question.”
“Okay, but after the question: which came into existence first; the chicken or the egg?”
    “Neither  --  that is why men find the question so fascinating and keep repeating it.”
 
 

Forget about this thing being different from that thing --
all things are different  --  when you are looking at things.

In that certain matter: trickier to do than allegory
is presenting the straight facts.

Where there’s nothing else to do
a man-who-knows knows
when through is truly through.
