Much Ado....about nothin!



It is in our nature to be vainglorious!

Grit is demeaning; it discriminates, it filters, separates(redundancy is a necessary literary evil, it is the euphemism disdaining cousin of emphasis), hones, perfects. It does the dirty work for the abstract lordling concept of evolution. Its demeaning because its absence ensures failure even in the face of greater potential, its presence merely allowing the bearer to survive and have later, possibly lesser generations, praise common fare to heavenly heights.
 To hell with punctuation(and grammar(OH MAN!)), but capslock misuse is something that has to be stuck to, cos otherwise writing attempts set my soul a screamin!

What are the options available to a broken mind? (yes you have a broken mind, else you would have been constantly aware of your own uniqueness, endless capabilities, how the universe(yours) does revolve around you and live to be 969!)

Something a friend's friend once said "We cannot be kings in heaven, so we were sent to earth". Carpe omnius then!

Celestial science dealing with fairness and justice for all has as one of its governing precepts - karma , the great instrument of balance. And this great instrument(think of those scales in the hands of the blind lady representing justice in erstwhile Indian cinema's court room dramas(legend has it that, that particular lady comes alive at midnight only so that the demons of the world might chorus in supplication(rolling on the floor helpless with laughter, screaming hysterically) "BITCH PLEASE !)")) has as its point of balance the great human concept of free will. Free will is important because it turns on its head the "all are equal" cosmic insistence with a peculiarly fervent nonchalance again and again. 

The human infant infant is supposed to be the most needy, completely helpless and dependent of all living things. We carry a version of this neediness all throughout our lives. And this is good. For it is this severe amount of need, and not love, brain power, opposable thumbs, faith, erect postures or our crazy impulses to embellish the terrible(modern art, abstract thought, death metal) that makes us human. Emotional dependency preserves our sanity as a species. To whoever said that man is a social animal, Salute!
Intellectual slavery is omnipresent. It may be a by product of the the aforesaid emotional co-dependence.

Intellectual independence comes when the emotional need is accepted and balanced with free will. This is mostly impossible. But it is possible to flit between the two states. Achieve and live dreams using the latter, subsequently abandon it and move on to fulfilling yours and others said emotional needs. But coexistence of these two states is possible, in an overwhelmingly agrarian Universe, where life's greatest calling can only possibly be to be the best darn farmer south of whatever. I don't have anything against farmers, its only that this example is perfect to convey the required amounts of sarcasm in the preceding sentences. I want to be a farmer after I retire. 
Independent thought is a broken mind's delusional day dream(yes there are non delusional day dreams too). It is hard to have that charcteristic attributed to you in its true sense.

It is natural to think no end of yourselves. It is the pre-requisite for a healthy self esteem, and the seed of(potentially species saving) narcissism. Now, true change, the world over can be credited to the truly narcissistic. Da vinci, Socrates, Alexander, Chanakya, Gandhi, Steve(Jobs), thought greatly of themselves.

Pacifists are the worst kind of people, preachy pacifists should be shot at sight. Their thought process naturally discourages change, and abhors novelty. The preachy kind are probably what might eventually prove to be the end of us. They are the narcissitic kind too. Their vision for the future is make it as similar to the past as possible. One of their favourite catchlines is "back to the roots.." . Oddly they have immensely strong, ostrich worthy(head in sand->denial), obdurate minds.

Alliterations are pleasant to perceive.

Criminals and visionaries probably have a lot in common. They are unsatisfied with the current situation their life's in and dare to change them. This attitude is their quintessential quirk. Makes them capable.

Weak minded pacifists are defined by incapability.

And then there are the wannabe visionaries. Surprisingly a huge number of atheists and agnostics feel "special", the kind of self estimation resulting from knowing what most people don't or can't. Many of them see themselves as visionaries. I am convinced for some reason that they are very depressed people with killer delusional mind techniques, extremely BIG on denial.


Only thing worse than them are the religious "holier than thou" flock! Words fail to describe the latter. Hopefully there is a special rung in hell reserved just for them. Oh when they find themselves in hell, their reaction then, is what the world priceless was allowed for in the first place; because everything /everyone has a price. The visionaries/strong minded just happen to know their right ones

The politically incorrect are a true delight if sincere in their disposition. Some people just truly don't care. I envy them.

I am feeling particularly bitter.
