People don't know how to listen. Words go in one year and go out the other. This is how those who know more than us effectively rule over us.

I'm beginning to realize that i need to read a lot more. I lik the sort of changes that take place in my life when i learn new things. Every day i read, i grow wiser. It's the last refuge for me. I feel sane when i read the words of the wise, and they reassure me of what i think, of what i feel. I feel lost in my generation. I find my social proof in books.

i suppose, for me its a toss up between being cremated in a viking longboat with a goat sacrifice, or being dugup after 3 years after my bones have been picked clean and being stored in a crypt.

i wonder what kind of philosophy a man like could come up with. i bet he only saw the worst in people, he saw in people what was within him. he wanted to fuck his mother. he wanted to suck cock but compensated for it by sucking cigars. his philosophy raised generations of Americans, and what do we have today?

i lol'd

also, does it really matter if you're objectively free or enslaved as long as you feel free? who's to say that the perception that something is real does not make it real? after all no one on the face of this planet is an objective enough observer to ever reach the true meta nature of the universe. so you are missing the point if you think you have a heightened understand of what you cannot understand.

there is no reality beyond perceived reality.

"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved." ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

>> No.1740014

"It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments."

Who said it? Should be easy based on syntax.
