Seth An interesting mix of chaotic, entropic, and static energy. Some people are guided by stasis, conforming to the all, content to observe. Some are dynamic, chaotic, and these are the doers, the actors, the people who can't sit still. Some, like me, and quite a few of those who post on this board, are guided by entropy, the beginning and end of all. Where chaos and order meet, where all is destroyed, and where all is created. It's hard to tread this path that I've chosen, but ultimately rewarding. Some, though, take it to far, and then they trip over the line, becoming pure nothingness. A truely enlightened person is neither entropic, chaotic, or static. They realise the need for all three, and work to achieve a balance between the three primal essences within themselves, thereby achieving a balance within themselves.

Message delivered c/o Dafremen - - 010611 ... congz // One way to see it...... nothing Life(everything); 010621 ... Unfucked Now Life is getting better! :) 010622 ... florescent light I'm having a very hard time with life right now. I have lost 5-10 pounds in a month- which is a bad thing, since I am already so small. My jeans are swimming on me. I'm hardly eating, I eat probably the equivalent to one meal a day. I have no appetite, and it's so stressful in my house, everything is so hard here. I am the sanest one currently in my family. I don't feel like I'm holding them together, but I am the only one who can see what's really going on. I've always been the only one. I have about 20 times more intelligence than my mother. And this upsets me. I want to be able to respect her, but instead I'm losing respect. My Dad has more intelligence than me, but he is an asshole- so he uses it the wrong way- he uses it to manipulate and hurt people. He breaks everyone's spirit. Anyway, all this home stress is effecting my eating habits, which in turn affects my brain. Causing me to have a hard time socializing. I don't feel like dealing with almost anybody. I have no patience for people right now. They just all bore me. And I know it's not necessarily them, but it's me. So when I do go out, I don't have a good time. Since things aren't going well socially, I feel lonely. And when I begin to feel lonely, that is when I yearn for a romantic relationship. which is probably why I feel so insecure about Cliff, because I feel like I need some sort of romantic support, since my social circle is so small. But since my social circle is so small, I become insecure with my romantic partners, which will make them go away, and/or cause me to push them away. And since I feel lonely, I don't feel like being productive. I don't feel like cleaning my room, and am getting frusterated with the job search. I keep trying to break the cycle, I keep trying to be happy. But it's hard when the thing that's bringing me down is an in-your-face constant. 010705 ... Casey To me life is being happy. Life is doing the things you enjoy the most. Life is loving. Life is holding and caressing. Life is caring. Life is everything good in the world. Everything else is just reality 010705 ...

Dafremen florescent - You've just described so many familiar things that I'm afraid I'm going to have to call "Libra!" and leave it at that. People bore the piss out of me too. With their He/she/they Did/won't/couldn't this/that/the other. It's normal gab, but it just puts me to sleep, everything seems to be the same damned conversation with different subjects and verbs is all. I wrote a poem about the pushing away thing. It seems the more I care for someone the harder I am on them. It's as if I'm testing their devotion or loyalty or something. It could just be a defense mechanism from my early childhood, that's pretty likely. I love life though florescent and I think you do to, you just wish there were more to it huh? In the past 2 years I've started to become comfortable with the idea that I NEED to make decisions and plans alone. I listen to advice and opinions, but ultimately make my decisions my way based on all available input. I never used to be that way. When I was younger I was constantly seeking opinions and advice. I almost always regretted not having followed my own advice. The social thing is hard. We need to be alone, but we also don't seem to function well without a partner of some kind. (I have a hard time motivating myself unless someone is there for me.) We're all different and have different "ideal" surroundings, so don't be too distressed by the isolation florescent dear. The loneliness is bearable and somewhere down the road you're going to find that loneliness can be your best friend. 010816 ... kx21 Whoever will be will be... Whatever will be will be...

Did you see the sunset? The golden rays glinting from marble stones Yellow leaves falling from the tree of life Watching the end come near until you disappear How much longer shall you dream Until eternity is yours? Did you smell the flowers Or did you trample them into the ground Where you now reside Will you remember life Or make a fantasy Maybe it was never even real Were you even alive? Or Just a zombie rising from the ground Senseless sleepy unthinking Don’t be sad, your heart must be a feather Osiris is here to judge for all eternity Watch the scales falling down down down No star for you Who will remember you Whose tears will water your soul into the ground Who will remember what you did, what you said Not I You are nothing in our minds Nothing in life Nothing in death Nothing So why be? 011230 ... bittersweet Damn you and the way you always cut in.

Destination? It is not the large idea of who you could be or what you could be doing. It is not the world you want to be apart of, the world to save you from this. It is here, now, the people you meet, the words you say, the ideas you concieve, the interactions you experience. It is taking the mundane and making it extraodinary. It is the love within the pain, the forth within the back, it is the calm before the storm, the want within the need. It is here everyday, and as you sit waiting for it to come you have missed a little part of it leave. 021112 ... wish~ Life is a moment between two eternities. 021113 ... phil oldlquestion itsianswered farfdeparted forefreedoms runiseperate diesabsorbed 021123 ... hi lifes like this, you fall, you crawl, you break, you take what you get and you turn it into honesty now promise me im never going to find you faking 021221 ... me do people actually read all of these things? i dont think that they do so it doesnt really matter what i say. life can be so terrible and yet life can be so wonderful. at those times when you are sad you feel like you'll never be happy again but you'll stay like that for the rest of your miserable life. and those times that you're happy you think, it doesn't matter what i do because i know that i will always be as happy as i am right now. but that is never true. life is not consistent. life is like a rollercoaster with many ups and downs. you can't control it, it controls you. sometimes you can't stop things from happening but they are destined to happen. you cannot control who you fall in love with but you can control who you will marry. you find love in unusual places...places that you wouldnt of ever suspected to people that you would rather not acknowledge their existence. and what is with this whole world being totally shallow? they try to look the right way just so that they can be accepted in this world. and they look for a partner that is good-looking rather than for their personality and what they are on the inside. the inside is all that counts. beauty fades but personality doesnt. its surprising how much i have learned in my 16 years. it makes me look forward to the rest of my life so that i can experience more things and tell people about them ...bye 021221 ... telir Life's an odd thing. Is life truly odd in itself, or do we, as high-thinking beings, make it odd? Is some cosmic force giving each of us something trial, or series of trials to give us the strength to succeed, or are all choices and tests devices of our own creation? Can we be happy without the belief that there is some cosmic force taking interest in our lives? I, likely, don't have all the answers, simply questions and ponderances that my mortal mind has created answers for. I think most people are like me in this. They create answers to make themselves feel safe. Without these personal answers the common man would feel helpless and hopless. Unsure of what point life has. That thought worries me. There is so much more to life than what someone, anyone, else says there is. This is a world of nearly infinite possiblitiy, if one chooses to look around. Dreams, goals, love and fun are all wondorous things to have. Pain, sarrow, laughter, light, good and bad, the simple feeling of emotion is a truly great gift. All feeling, all emotion has its place and can be a great tool to help one thought life. Without those adverse feelings everyone attempts to avoid or deny there is no way to judge the good. Happiness is sweeter when gained after sarrow. This is my thought at any rate. The sensation of feeling, something most take for granted, is not the curse most would make it out to be, but is and should be a way to prove that you are alive and everyday that you are alive is full of possibility and wonder just waiting to be descovered. Once that wonder is discovered then the day was worth living. If that wonder is not found, then it simply means that something else could have been done to bring it and a resolve should be made to find it. The gentle way one you love breathes when he or she is embraced in the arms of sleep is a wonder, if you just open your eyes and look. Anything can bring wonder with an open and openned eyes. Simple pleasures are as grand as riches. The smile on someone's face when you do just one thing for them that you didn't have to do. Just knowing that you've pleased someone. These are the pleasures of life. This is what life's about. It is not a game with who has the most to show for it at the end. This is not Monopoly. The openned mind is life freshly turned earth, you just need to plant the right seeds, give a little care, and beautiful things will bloom. 021223 ...

Where will being morbid and all that shit get you? Nowhere. You can complain about how shitty you have things and no one really wants to hear it, you know? I mean sure people will listen but they get sick of listening if it isn't a mutual thing... and if it is, then why would you be sad in the first place? People don't shit on you because you are different. People shit on you because they are insecure. Everyone is insecure though... do I have to question that twice? I honestly think not.

Here they would slice the Achille's tendon on both feet of every person and leave them to die. (The Achille's tendon allows the foot to be able to move back and forth, therefore giving us the ability to walk. Without it, the foot simply hangs, and we are motionless).

Xeno's paradox, fun stuff. prove it. there are so many paradoxs in math alone that nothing we KNOW can possibly be right! did you know that it's been proven theoretically impossible to shoot an arrow? so i conclude that based on science alone we cannot truly understand life. and we MUST have a soul, becuase without one, we would just be a walking, talking, pile of cells, which are made up of "non-living" things. so according to science alone, life is nothing but a series of unchangeable events. if there is truly no soul and only cells, then we wouldn't be able to make "choices" our cells would just react to things around us the best way they know how. a person with a learning disability is limited by his/her cells. in society, they can't do as much as a person who has no mental disability. i shouldn't say can't, how about, aren't as likely to. but in the mind, in the soul, i believe that there is much more going on than we can "see". i just wonder how long it takes scientists to realize that. bla, if that made no sense whatsoever, then i appologize, i'm getting my thoughts all mixed up. 030517 ... ferret have you ever seen someone you know just suddenly CHANGE over the course of a week? and wonder what could have caused that change? has that ever happened to you? i know i was never this calm before 2 years ago. 030517 ...

Nihility Dismal gray skies frame silhouettes of souls past. Mooncalf in a moribund state; reality cannot last. Nihility plagues the mere mortals of the world. Velvet black roses in paper lace, its edges torn and curled. Creaky swings and rusted slides, their structures long forgotten. Spindly trees with blackened leaves, their fruit bitter and rotten. Floundering in oblivion, we’re blind to life’s artless things. Conflagrant hues of a sinking sun; birds without clipped wings. A cloudless sky; black flecked with silver lights, The scent of earth after rain; and silence on warm nights. Why is everything compared to dreams? And nothing ever as simple as it seems; Why must laughter morph into cries? And everyday life be tainted by lies; How come so many people desire only what they haven’t got? And go through life like they’ll live forever, Never realizing that they cannot. Every soul has a song of time; of life entwined with land; So let the music ring clear, And dance barefoot in the sand. 030731 ... plastic? i find comfort in knowing that i don't have to do a damn thing. i am in control of the world and it's my choice if i become that associate employee contemporary or that goddamn self-destructive fuck. and i LOVE it that way. i know that if i cared to, i could live everyday sprawled on the bathroom floor-cheek to the tile, limbs extended. i could barely budge/breathe and i would be ultimatly unproductive in every way. but yet i know that in it's entirety it would still be life. that with every breath i am STILL alive, not just alive but still the fucking center of life. the sun rose today as it did yesterday and will tomorrow and i have every reason to believe that it did so solely for me. because thats life. _flies in the vaseline, we are_ 030802 ... niska well, until we get hit by a truck, anyway... 030802 ... phil wasted my life living time any way you live life like is a waste of time life is free live the life like you like go on living life like you like (like you like) anyway you like (your life) your life might want to live wasting your time living life is a way of life living life just any like a waste of time your life like you have a life to live Life anyway you like live your life live your life live your life live your life so go ahead and live your life anyway your life's a waste your time anyway you live your life like ev- ery living life live your life back life is like that leave me alone live your life like you like every living life your life can live it can live a life giving life like a lifeboat floating on a light like a life force died and living out your life (2003) 030808 ... phil rich 030808 ...

The Right to Life Generations of malleable Israeli children are brought up on the story of the misnamed Jewish settlement Tel-Hai ("Mount of Life"), Israel's Alamo. There, among the picturesque valleys of the Galilee, a one-armed hero named Joseph Trumpeldor is said to have died, eight decades ago, from an Arab stray bullet, mumbling: "It is good to die for our country." Judaism is dubbed "A Teaching of Life" - but it would seem that the sanctity of life can and does take a back seat to some overriding values. The right to life - at least of human beings - is a rarely questioned fundamental moral principle. In Western cultures, it is assumed to be inalienable and indivisible (i.e., monolithic). Yet, it is neither. Even if we accept the axiomatic - and therefore arbitrary - source of this right, we are still faced with intractable dilemmas. All said, the right to life may be nothing more than a cultural construct, dependent on social mores, historical contexts, and exegetic systems. Rights - whether moral or legal - impose obligations or duties on third parties towards the right-holder. One has a right AGAINST other people and thus can prescribe to them certain obligatory behaviours and proscribe certain acts or omissions. Rights and duties are two sides of the same Janus-like ethical coin. This duality confuses people. They often erroneously identify rights with their attendant duties or obligations, with the morally decent, or even with the morally permissible. One's rights inform other people how they MUST behave towards one - not how they SHOULD or OUGHT to act morally. Moral behaviour is not dependent on the existence of a right. Obligations are. To complicate matters further, many apparently simple and straightforward rights are amalgams of more basic moral or legal principles. To treat such rights as unities is to mistreat them. Take the right to life. It is a compendium of no less than eight distinct rights: the right to be brought to life, the right to be born, the right to have one's life maintained, the right not to be killed, the right to have one's life saved, the right to save one's life (wrongly reduced to the right to self-defence), the right to terminate one's life, and the right to have one's life terminated. None of these rights is self-evident, or unambiguous, or universal, or immutable, or automatically applicable. It is safe to say, therefore, that these rights are not primary as hitherto believed - but derivative. The Right to be Brought to Life In most moral systems - including all major religions and Western legal methodologies - it is life that gives rise to rights. The dead have rights only because of the existence of the living. Where there is no life - there are no rights. Stones have no rights (though many animists would find this statement abhorrent). Hence the vitriolic debate about cloning which involves denuding an unfertilized egg of its nucleus. Is there life in an egg or a sperm cell? That something exists, does not necessarily imply that it harbors life. Sand exists and it is inanimate. But what about things that exist and have the potential to develop life? No one disputes the existence of eggs and sperms - or their capacity to grow alive. Is the potential to be alive a legitimate source of rights? Does the egg have any rights, or, at the very least, the right to be brought to life (the right to become or to be) and thus to acquire rights? The much trumpeted right to acquire life pertains to an entity which exists but is not alive - an egg. It is, therefore, an unprecedented kind of right. Had such a right existed, it would have implied an obligation or duty to give life to the unborn and the not yet conceived. Clearly, life manifests, at the earliest, when an egg and a sperm unite at the moment of fertilization. Life is not a potential - it is a process triggered by an event. An unfertilized egg is neither a process - nor an event. It does not even possess the potential to become alive unless and until it is fertilized. The potential to become alive is not the ontological equivalent of actually being alive. A potential life cannot give rise to rights and obligations. The transition from potential to being is not trivial, nor is it automatic, or inevitable, or independent of context. Atoms of various elements have the potential to become an egg (or, for that matter, a human being) - yet no one would claim that they ARE an egg (or a human being), or that they should be treated as such (i.e., with the same rights and obligations). The Right to be Born While the right to be brought to life deals with potentials - the right to be born deals with actualities. When one or two adults voluntarily cause an egg to be fertilized by a sperm cell with the explicit intent and purpose of creating another life - the right to be born crystallizes. The voluntary and premeditated action of said adults amounts to a contract with the embryo - or rather, with society which stands in for the embryo. Henceforth, the embryo acquires the entire panoply of human rights: the right to be born, to be fed, sheltered, to be emotionally nurtured, to get an education, and so on. But what if the fertilization was either involuntary (rape) or unintentional ("accidental" pregnancy)? Is the embryo's successful acquisition of rights dependent upon the nature of the conception? We deny criminals their loot as "fruits of the poisoned tree". Why not deny an embryo his life if it is the outcome of a crime? The conventional response - that the embryo did not commit the crime or conspire in it - is inadequate. We would deny the poisoned fruits of crime to innocent bystanders as well. Would we allow a passerby to freely spend cash thrown out of an escape vehicle following a robbery? Even if we agree that the embryo has a right to be kept alive - this right cannot be held against his violated mother. It cannot oblige her to harbor this patently unwanted embryo. If it could survive outside the womb, this would have solved the moral dilemma. But it is dubious - to say the least - that it has a right to go on using the mother's body, or resources, or to burden her in any way in order to sustain its own life. The Right to Have One's Life Maintained This leads to a more general quandary. To what extent can one use other people's bodies, their property, their time, their resources and to deprive them of pleasure, comfort, material possessions, income, or any other thing - in order to maintain one's life? Even if it were possible in reality, it is indefensible to maintain that I have a right to sustain, improve, or prolong my life at another's expense. I cannot demand - though I can morally expect - even a trivial and minimal sacrifice from another in order to prolong my life. I have no right to do so. Of course, the existence of an implicit, let alone explicit, contract between myself and another party would change the picture. The right to demand sacrifices commensurate with the provisions of the contract would then crystallize and create corresponding duties and obligations. No embryo has a right to sustain its life, maintain, or prolong it at its mother's expense. This is true regardless of how insignificant the sacrifice required of her is. Yet, by knowingly and intentionally conceiving the embryo, the mother can be said to have signed a contract with it. The contract causes the right of the embryo to demand such sacrifices from his mother to crystallize. It also creates corresponding duties and obligations of the mother towards her embryo. We often find ourselves in a situation where we do not have a given right against other individuals - but we do possess this very same right against society. Society owes us what no constituent-individual does. Thus, we all have a right to sustain our lives, maintain, prolong, or even improve them at society's expense - no matter how major and significant the resources required. Public hospitals, state pension schemes, and police forces may be needed in order to fulfill society's obligations to prolong, maintain, and improve our lives - but fulfill them it must. Still, each one of us can sign a contract with society - implicitly or explicitly - and abrogate this right. One can volunteer to join the army. Such an act constitutes a contract in which the individual assumes the duty or obligation to give up his or her life. The Right not to be Killed It is commonly agreed that every person has the right not to be killed unjustly. Admittedly, what is just and what is unjust is determined by an ethical calculus or a social contract - both constantly in flux. Still, even if we assume an Archimedean immutable point of moral reference - does A's right not to be killed mean that third parties are to refrain from enforcing the rights of other people against A? What if the only way to right wrongs committed by A against others - was to kill A? The moral obligation to right wrongs is about restoring the rights of the wronged. If the continued existence of A is predicated on the repeated and continuous violation of the rights of others - and these other people object to it - then A must be killed if that is the only way to right the wrong and re-assert the rights of A's victims. The Right to have One's Life Saved There is no such right because there is no moral obligation or duty to save a life. That people believe otherwise demonstrates the muddle between the morally commendable, desirable, and decent ("ought", "should") and the morally obligatory, the result of other people's rights ("must"). In some countries, the obligation to save a life is codified in the law of the land. But legal rights and obligations do not always correspond to moral rights and obligations, or give rise to them. The Right to Save One's Own Life One has a right to save one's life by exercising self-defence or otherwise, by taking certain actions or by avoiding them. Judaism - as well as other religious, moral, and legal systems - accept that one has the right to kill a pursuer who knowingly and intentionally is bent on taking one's life. Hunting down Osama bin-Laden in the wilds of Afghanistan is, therefore, morally acceptable (though not morally mandatory). But does one have the right to kill an innocent person who unknowingly and unintentionally threatens to take one's life? An embryo sometimes threatens the life of the mother. Does she have a right to take its life? What about an unwitting carrier of the Ebola virus - do we have a right to terminate her life? For that matter, do we have a right to terminate her life even if there is nothing she could have done about it had she known about her condition? The Right to Terminate One's Life There are many ways to terminate one's life: self sacrifice, avoidable martyrdom, engaging in life risking activities, refusal to prolong one's life through medical treatment, euthanasia, overdosing and self inflicted death that is the result of coercion. Like suicide, in all these - bar the last - a foreknowledge of the risk of death is present coupled with its acceptance. Does one have a right to take one's life? The answer is: it depends. Certain cultures and societies encourage suicide. Both Japanese kamikaze and Jewish martyrs were extolled for their suicidal actions. Certain professions are knowingly life-threatening - soldiers, firemen, policemen. Certain industries - like the manufacture of armaments, cigarettes, and alcohol - boost overall mortality rates. In general, suicide is commended when it serves social ends, enhances the cohesion of the group, upholds its values, multiplies its wealth, or defends it from external and internal threats. Social structures and human collectives - empires, countries, firms, bands, institutions - often commit suicide. This is considered to be a healthy process. Thus, suicide came to be perceived as a social act. The flip-side of this perception is that life is communal property. Society has appropriated the right to foster suicide or to prevent it. It condemns individual suicidal entrepreneurship. Suicide, according to Thomas Aquinas, is unnatural. It harms the community and violates God's property rights. In Judeo-Christian tradition, God is the owner of all souls. The soul is on deposit with us. The very right to use it, for however short a period, is a divine gift. Suicide, therefore, amounts to an abuse of God's possession. Blackstone, the venerable codifier of British Law, concurred. The state, according to him, has a right to prevent and to punish suicide and attempted suicide. Suicide is self-murder, he wrote, and, therefore, a grave felony. In certain paternalistic countries, this still is the case. The Right to Have One's Life Terminated The right to have one's life terminated at will (euthanasia), is subject to social, ethical, and legal strictures. In some countries - such as the Netherlands - it is legal (and socially acceptable) to have one's life terminated with the help of third parties given a sufficient deterioration in the quality of life and given the imminence of death. One has to be of sound mind and will one's death knowingly, intentionally, repeatedly, and forcefully. II. Issues in the Calculus of Rights The Hierarchy of Rights The right to life supersedes - in Western moral and legal systems - all other rights. It overrules the right to one's body, to comfort, to the avoidance of pain, or to ownership of property. Given such lack of equivocation, the amount of dilemmas and controversies surrounding the right to life is, therefore, surprising. When there is a clash between equally potent rights - for instance, the conflicting rights to life of two people - we can decide among them randomly (by flipping a coin, or casting dice). Alternatively, we can add and subtract rights in a somewhat macabre arithmetic. Thus, if the continued life of an embryo or a fetus threatens the mother's life - that is, assuming, controversially, that both of them have an equal right to life - we can decide to kill the fetus. By adding to the mother's right to life her right to her own body we outweigh the fetus' right to life. The Difference between Killing and Letting Die Counterintuitively, there is a moral gulf between killing (taking a life) and letting die (not saving a life). The right not to be killed is undisputed. There is no right to have one's own life saved. Where there is a right - and only where there is one - there is an obligation. Thus, while there is an obligation not to kill - there is no obligation to save a life. Killing the Innocent The life of a Victim (V) is sometimes threatened by the continued existence of an innocent person (IP), a person who cannot be held guilty of V's ultimate death even though he caused it. IP is not guilty of dispatching V because he hasn't intended to kill V, nor was he aware that V will die due to his actions or continued existence. Again, it boils down to ghastly arithmetic. We definitely should kill IP to prevent V's death if IP is going to die anyway - and shortly. The remaining life of V, if saved, should exceed the remaining life of IP, if not killed. If these conditions are not met, the rights of IP and V should be weighted and calculated to yield a decision (See "Abortion and the Sanctity of Human Life" by Baruch A. Brody). Utilitarianism - a form of crass moral calculus - calls for the maximization of utility (life, happiness, pleasure). The lives, happiness, or pleasure of the many outweigh the life, happiness, or pleasure of the few. If by killing IP we save the lives of two or more people and there is no other way to save their lives - it is morally permissible. But surely V has right to self defence, regardless of any moral calculus of rights? Not so. Taking another's life to save one's own is rarely justified, though such behaviour cannot be condemned. Here we have the flip side of the confusion we opened with: understandable and perhaps inevitable behaviour (self defence) is mistaken for a moral right. If I were V, I would kill IP unhesitatingly. Moreover, I would have the understanding and sympathy of everyone. But this does not mean that I had a right to kill IP. Which brings us to September 11. Collateral Damage What should prevail: the imperative to spare the lives of innocent civilians - or the need to safeguard the lives of fighter pilots? Precision bombing puts such pilots at great risk. Avoiding this risk usually results in civilian casualties ("collateral damage"). This moral dilemma is often "solved" by applying - explicitly or implicitly - the principle of "over-riding affiliation". We find the two facets of this principle in Jewish sacred texts: "One is close to oneself" and "Your city's poor denizens come first (with regards to charity)". Some moral obligations are universal - thou shalt not kill. They are related to one's position as a human being. Other moral values and obligations arise from one's affiliations. Yet, there is a hierarchy of moral values and obligations. The ones related to one's position as a human being are, actually, the weakest. They are overruled by moral values and obligations related to one's affiliations. The imperative "thou shalt not kill (another human being)" is easily over-ruled by the moral obligation to kill for one's country. The imperative "thou shalt not steal" is superseded by one's moral obligation to spy for one's nation. This leads to another startling conclusion: There is no such thing as a self-consistent moral system. Moral values and obligations often contradict each other and almost always conflict with universal moral values and obligations. In the examples above, killing (for one's country) and stealing (for one's nation) are moral obligations. Yet, they contradict the universal moral value of the sanctity of life and the universal moral obligation not to kill. Far from being a fundamental and immutable principle - the right to life, it would seem, is merely a convenient implement in the hands of society. 031014 ...

Arthur Dent As far as life goes right now - I'm getting kinda panicky. I see my body going south... fat and cellulose on the rise, double chins, out of breath at the top of one flight of stairs, can't run more than 15 feet and that night my muscles are paralyzed with lactic acid. I'm past my prime and my prime sucked. I look at young girls and feel so lovesick, because I'm not in love but I'm prevented from BEING in love. My life is a big combination of "stucks" - I'm stuck here and stuck there and I might as well just learn to live with it. It's suffocating. But I'm feeling panicky because every time I hear Bryan Adams sing about "the best days" of his life, or see a couple truly in love - I feel that my chances to have those things are already past and I never bothered to reach out and grab them. I hear people speak of things that are wonderful and delightful and delicious and I've never felt, delighted, or tasted anything to those extents. I tells me that I'm not experiencing life to the full and it's too late to do so. While most of these issues dissapear in the new system (MOST, not ALL), that's little consolation because I still have HERE and NOW to think about, I'm still living in a life that, for the most part, I consider intolerable. 051001 ... oren Regular or cinnamon? 051123 ... Mary I understand, now. I understand what it means - life. It took me twenty-one years to learn the meaning, and maybe no one will ever read this, but at least I will have written it. Life is not about me. The day when I do not think about "me" is the day in which I am most alive. I learned this lesson in many places... in Mexico, dancing in the rain with little, dark-haired children from the slums. on the streets of Denver, listening to the life story of a homeless man. in the sweltering jungle heat, bandaging a bleeding wound with my inadequate first aid kit. on my knees, praying and crying at the same time, pouring out my wounded heart to the One who loves me. dancing in a church full of people, as I worship God, and think not of how silly I must look, but only of how worthy of praise God is. Life is not about me. And it's not about you, either, my friend. It's about God, and about His son, Jesus Christ, and the fact that Jesus died on a cross some 2000 years ago to give our existence purpose and to save us all from the wretched beings we are. I have dedicated my life to showing and telling Christ to others, because nothing else matters, and he is the reason I live, and love, and breathe, and persevere. If he is glorified through my life, then I have fulfilled my purpose. 051123 ... fortheocean Those who complain about it are missing out on the beauty.

Dozyn Collect the years 060125 ... DL I wish I could stay. Play and learn and see the blue sky for all my days. I never thought it would be so hard to hold on to the ropes. Slowly my hands begin to burn and I feel the misery and the burning pain. Is this my plan my only road to walk on. My joy - my love - my way of thinking all in the hands of the burning rope. 060330 ... thirtycakes ..I had no motivation to finish my Lucky Charms today.

I don't know what has happened, how I got myself in this position, I let so many chances pass me by, I just watched them falling away. I didn't hold what i had, it was like self distruction, I new I could get to where I wanted to go ... but I had nothing to drive me there, no inspiration or reason... just headaches, too much sleep and a feeling of being nothing and having nothing. but that's a shit thing when I see the truth of the world.. when I see that I have been born privileged with every opportunity if front of me, if only i believed in myself more. Where I went wrong ? I should be prowd of what I have managed to achieve but i'm not. Maybe it is peoples pretentious attitude that effects me so much that i don't even want to be in the same room as them... people fighting for control rather than working together to make wonders... everyone wants the gold medal. I don't, I just want to have fun and throw paint... but i can't do that on my own... i need at least one ping pong ball and someone to play with. I don't really give a shit about money if i have enough to live off... it is more important that I enjoy my life and the work that i do. I sometimes don't think i even care what work i do... as long as it is in good company... but i ain't never seen that... if you are being paid, the presure is put on by treating your work force like shit.. it makes me bitter. With no drive and inspiration to even get out of bed in the morning, I don't know what has happened to my go, my colourfulness. I want a reason to be alive and I don't always want to here the shit in the news... because the negativeness eats away at me... people killing each other like that .. what happened to the Miracle of life? is it all a Mirage? 070420 ...

Stop living in a dream. Stop dreaming of a life. The things you think will remain strong and true, surprise you sometimes. They make you wake up. Make you disbelieve everything you believed. What are you left with? What's left behind in the ashes of one that was so real?! Is everything lost? Or is it just me? 090714 ... me like a tree 090928 ...
