After forever


Age is killing life's magic. I don't want to look at life this way. Things fail to excite me now. It all comes down to such trivial, mundane denominators. The human-animalistic senses and subsequent urges: hunger - more food; thirst - more drink; tired - more sleep; cold - more shelter; libido - more sex. And these trivial senses become distorted and exacerbated thus leading to greed in the extreme and compelling people to do things like drugs, murder, rape, corporate whoring, prostitution in every imaginable sense of the word and cosmetic surgery. And the worst part is, I can understand it, but my empathy isn't empathy per se as it lacks the essential ingredient of compassion. And empathy, as far as my definition of it goes, is understanding with compassion. I understand the implications and the urges so well, but I simply feel sickened that others are reduced to these states. It's like, I want more from them all... From everyone. More than I could be. More, so much more than I am.

it's not about "livin with it" we're all a part of it...everyone wants to be someone they're not or wants to disguise their blemishes...how far we go with it....now that's somethin we can change...
call it self realization...
we're all reduced to states we once felt sickened by at some point or the other..

Ash..I know what you mean there when you talk about lackin that compassion, though understandin the whole damn thing..I understand so fuckin completely..it prolly has sumfin to do with being an only child, or a quasi-only child. We tend to believe that the world or the whole universe and the eternal cosmos revolve around us..we just express it in different ways.
It was Jim Morrison's birthday yesterday (December 8th)..I spent an hour looking at pictures of his tomb..I can't help but come to the conclusion that maybe he really was all that. His music and words do have that ring, as much as I hate to admit it. He's one of those ppl I'll always harbour cosmic jealousy against. Damn him..bless his soul. And why the devil am I writing all this here? It prolly has nuffin to do with yer post..just felt the need to write it all here though :D

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

Yeah this post struck a chord with me.I've gone through a similar phase recently...but then De Vile is right..when you can't change others...change yourself.

we expect more and more from a world that grows smaller and smaller every day. it's human nature, i think. maybe our self-mythologies are much better--just a thought.

here's to a better year ahead, ashes.
