If
billiards is a game of connected decisions then trying to understand what
is going on without understanding your examining instrument and desire
to
understand
what is going on is a sport of staring at your un shined shoes.
The
father of a family new to this planet,
after
a quick survey of how he observed things to be done, told a son:
“I
have determined that the best approach here is:
If
another human disagrees with your ideas you should kill him,”
and
the lad said: “Are you sure of that?”
and
the elder replied: “Well, even if I’m wrong, who’ll be eventually left
to complain.”
Some
years later when the two would get together
at
times when the son’s normally flaccid mind would be standing erect,
the
old man’s current girl friend would glance at him, then say:
“Are
you two that glad to see one another,
or
is that just a non partisan propelled protrusion in his neural pocket?”
Forget
about male-enhancement-drugs -- taking no sides in no-sense-squabbles
will
add all the length and girth a real man will ever need.
“Hey man! -- get your head out of your pants --
or vice versa even,”
and
yet another cause of the certain man’s unorthodox dress.
“I assume, ‘dress’ is being used symbolically.”
The
truly amazing feature of the mind is that in matters to it unique
--
any
assumption it may make will in its skies fly.
Question: Strong-starts suggest what sort of finish?
In
man’s intangible system of justice:
there
is an electrifying dance between the judge and the accused
that
only the rebel eye can see.
A
kid handed his old man his latest literary gruntwrapper titled:
“The
Rhyme Of The Ancient Marinater,” which
opened thus:
“Were it not for the total soaking of me split brain:
I could not walk,
I could not sail,
I could not plot a course or ever hold a spoon;
were it not for the complete pickling of me split brain:
I could not see, nor speak wisely while in the dark...”
and
at this point the father dropped the manuscript and left the room.
Question: Strong-starts portend what type of finish?
One
man began refusing to recognize-his-inferiors
--
which
proved to require almost no effort.
One
man has a guy who follows him everywhere --
endlessly
describing everything the man does -- like a play-by-play
of his entire life.
An
infinite energy is available in conflicts over cultural facts
due
to the fact that none of those involved can ever conclusively qualify theirs.
(Nuclear
power plants are amateurs compared to religious wrangling.)
Question:
Strong-starts almost guarantee
what sort of finish? -- also:
Why
is man’s mind primed to automatically accept there being
a
describable connection between what it conceives to be
the
commencement and conclusion of some piece of intangible business
which
it has verbally sectioned off from reality’s seamless whole?
(Hint:
there is a dam good reason,
but
those still living down river where they were born can never take in the
enormity of the incorporeal lake backed up just above their head
-- IN their head.
[“I
assume again that the words here: ‘dam,
river and
lake’
are
meant other than literally.”])
Rewind
Time.
One
man began refusing to, recognize-his-inferiors
--
which,
when he turned this on himself,
proved
to require no effort at all (other than remembering to do it of course
--
of
damn-course
like everything else profitable for the rebel to do).
There
was once a man who had spent his life in the sincere struggle to:
Wake-up
from man’s routine mental dream;
to
acquire The Enlightenment
that answers all questions,
who
finally one day suddenly thought: “You know:
I’d
settle for just having a good memory.”
Simple
people avoid simple answers whenever possible.
(The
simpler -- the possiblier.)
If
there is something you sometimes feel you have had for a really long
time --
you
may have had it too
long.
Interesting
And Unnoticed Fact.
No
one is famous unless you think they are.
(“Okay!
-- what in the world does this have to do with a man’s search for
life’s
secrets?!”)
It
is (to engage in inverted hyperbole) highly
unlikely
that
you can live in the city without believing that mirrors take sides, and
play favorites,
(thus
out in rebel camp, the certain man knows not what he looks like,
“And
I’m guessing again that: ‘looks
like’ refers to something other
than
physical
appearance, right?!”)
Addendum
To A Previous Item.
The
certain man’s private reminder to himself to: “Keep it simple,”
represents
unseen action he takes that is much more than the words convey.
One
More SupplementTo A Story.
If
there is something you sometimes feel you have had for a really long time
--
and
you are the certain man --
you
HAVE had it too long.

The more that
you lived a long time ago,
the more acceptable
it is to have a ridiculous name and talk funny.
Reminder: As always (for a man to-this-game-born): all of the above is equally true, reversed.
