Those who say there is not enough humor in the world obviously are not listening to
all of the planet’s humans telling all their fellow humans how they should feel,
what they should think and the kind of person they should be;
if you don’t get that  --  you have no real sense of the absurd anyway.
 
 
 
 
 

A Practice More Widespread Than Generally Perceived:
all who converse and deliberately appear to take the comments of their
conversational partner seriously  --   engage in logrolling.
Only the one legged need someone to help them stand,
“Say Pop, you figure he is really talking about the mind, and not  man’s lower limbs.”
 
 
 
 
 

The men with the stomach and with the funny heads say:
“You are what you eat” –
the men with just the funny heads say:
“You are what you think”  --
 the men with suffering stomachs and heads say:
“You are what happens to you” and the man who knows what is going on
eats his thoughts before they can happen to him,
(and if you don’t like that one, try this: he says:
“You end up believing that you are what you say men are”  [better? -- and by the way: did you know that a realized man will not use the word, better
except to be socially greased]).
 
 
 
 
 
 

A father said to a son: “You can ignore any writing that begins with the word, ‘my,’
or that has, ‘apocalypse’ in the title.”
    “Why are you telling me this  --  you know I generally stopped reading anything
     some time ago.”
“Yeahhhhh  --  but just in case.”
 
 
 
 
 

The Let’s Face It Man recently stated publicly: “Let’s face it folks:
everything exceptional and unique to man that any man does
will always appear to many other people to be  --   just a hobby,”
and after a momentary pause, added: “In fact, let’s get down to the REAL facing:
all of the interests special TO man  --  are just hobbies.”
(By the by: he has made himself available for private parties,
but with few takers thus far.)
 
 
 
 
 

Those who proclaim the need and benefit of role models have lost most of their backyard to a sinkhole, and are not aware of it, (or, if you prefer):
those who need a role model need a whole lot more than a role model  --
and in a related matter: another man gives his formula for weight loss:
eat anything you want during daylight hours, then come night  --  shoot yourself,
[and those of you paying super close attention should instantly realize
the applicability of this approach in another area of life.])
 
 
 
 
 

After reading what everyone from philosophers to priests to politicians,
and psychologists had to say about what constitutes, happiness, and with their combined assurance that it is the most important thing in human life, one man mused: “Happiness is nothing more than how you feel at any moment, and if that be the case,
it means that the most important thing in a man’s life is totally beyond his control  --   (‘course as always, the saving grace of all curious mortal situations
is that men take no notice of them.”)
 
 

If he does happen to converse, a man-who-knows has no interest in
hearing someone tell him what they have read or heard someone else say,
nor in his own thinking is he interested in what he has read or heard someone else say:

When he heard a veteran say that the best thing about being a soldier in war is that you get to shoot at people, and treat strangers’ personal property with complete indifference, one man mused: “Damn! --  my thoughts are soldiers.”
 
 
 
 
 
 

Your Adult Fairy Tale For The Day
Local conditions in this one realm one day announced to all the inhabitants:
“All right: everyone who wants to be comfortable and safe, and be able to stay amongst your friends & family as you await at the station for your dreamed-of train --   raise your hands”  --  and after that was concluded, conditions said:
“Okay: those remaining, who are still looking for a space ship, well...........well,
you people stand over there until I can figure out what to do with you” --
which they gladly did  --  since that is what they had been didding all along anyway.

FYI: the actual difference between children and adults is
the difference between the local and the universal:
                                                twixt the rigid and the loose;
                                                the real and imagined;
                                                the doo doo and the diaper.
 
 
 
 
 

Conversation, Code Orange
“A man with fans may be doing something wrong.”
       “For real?”
“Maybe.”
 
 

To the man who knows: anything that is not a symbol -- IS the supreme symbolism,
(to wit): that which runs so deep as to morph into the reality it was initially conceived of to represent.
(Note: man’s ordinary mind, when it thinks metaphorically  --  gets stuck there,
“But Pa Pa  --  is that not part OF mind’s inherent nature?”)
 
 

A man with a terminal illness said to himself: “Well, one nice thing that’s come from me knowing that I’m dying is that I’ve been able to stop going to the gym
without feeling guilty about it  --   (you know like: what’s the point?!)” --
and his partner chimed in: “Shit, you’ve been doing the same thing
up here in your head all of your life by letting meaningless thoughts take
permanent residence in your mind which effectively relieves you of any possibility of doing anything better with your capacity to think.”
 
 
 
 
 

Said a son to a father: “Okay Pop, my question for the day is:
why is it that as long as you’re laughing,
you won’t be in that normal, rigor mortis state of consciousness? .......no wait  --

One morning, one chap suddenly thought/felt and said to himself:
“Man!  it’s great to be alive  --  when you’re glad to BE alive!” --
and the more perceptive slice of his brain injected:
“So what should those moments of your personally perceived reality
teach you about the other times?”
 
 
 
 
 

Said a father to a son: “If all of the things I talk to you about,
you would pursue to their end and eventually see for yourself
in your own individual way,
the pay off will not simply be an intellectual experience in the brain, but will be
a quite specially felt experience extending throughout your nervous system.

Awakening the mind to what is really going on in life beyond the normal range of its automatic registering is like removing a tarp from a lighthouse,
but when the shift in consciousness is more expansive,
it is like an off shore ship acquiring the ability to continually locate its position, independent of proffered outside coordinates;
thus: not just the humor of life-directions offered by others  --
but the lack of even imagining that you need such.

Even if men may not actually be going-anywhere --
at least the awakened man is silently aware of it.
 
 

One man has two favorite things he says to himself: “Don’t be a stranger,”  and: “BE a stranger,”
        and another guy gave his partner the nickname: “You know like: what’s the point?!”
