The Great Illusion
July 14th, 2006Have you begun to question the rules of this game,
reflect on your actions and take some of the blame.
Words by Victor Kahn, leading you straight to The Great Illusion, a wonderful place to experience another reality.
Thoughts are like mirrors ~ just slightly bizarre,
and it all comes from wishing each night on a star.
[Quotes taken from “The Tiger Within” by Victor Kahn with illustrations by Jim Warren.]
Free to think
July 6th, 2006“Fantasies are free.”
“NO! NO! It’s the thought police!”
It’s paradoxical to say one is not free to think what one thinks. On the one hand, and as a destined liar anyway, since I think that I am not free to think what I think I’d never tell anyone. On the other hand, if we were all free to think what we think I’d prefer to think that we are not.
Pros and Cons
June 21st, 2006Everything’s got a good side and a bad side,
including this very sentence. And, including
every good side and every bad side.
Never forget
June 17th, 2006Walls degrade.
When you tear down the walls
they are not gone.
Walls can be surmounted.
Move.
Walls can be burrowed through.
Dig.
To be one, to be united is a great thing.
But to respect the right to be different
is maybe even greater.
— Paul David Hewson
Nobody is any more or less a liar
June 10th, 2006It is my conviction that no one is any more or less a liar. We are all liars, says me who is one, too. Hence, nobody is a liar. But, this, of course, is not any less a lie.
Since it does not make much difference, as you see, I suggest to call you no liar, but I am a liar. Or, let’s all call this nonsense, but why then?
(Fe)male arguments
June 6th, 2006My list of some dichotomies is missing the delicate discretion of women versus men, though it is always good enough for some humor; one that can be found elsewhere but I AM … NOT‘s place is so much more exciting since I AM … NOT refuses to hate me; probably because he believes rattus to be male though she is not. Anyway, I AM … NOT, listen up! You could at least lie to me.
Who to call into question
May 30th, 2006If one thinks there are people who (should) bear a certain amount of responsibility for what they do and what they do not, that is, if one believes to know who to accuse, then, indeed, there is guilt.
