XII. 8

Internet is a swamp. Never that deep but that isn't what gets you. It is a place for information, but not wisdom. Making friends with words and symbols isn't new. It is a privilege to be able to inflate your feebleness into something meaningful. Big things are starting to become meaningless. Small things are getting due credit. Lost souls are reconnecting, the futility of their attempts can take a back seat for now. They were never too far. 

Memory and Destiny

Graveland - Memory and Destiny

this album is epic .. enough said for now but might put up a review later ... 

XI. Existence

Going nowhere is a common term to denote a lack of progress or stagnancy. But really, no one goes to this place called "nowhere". Everyone/thing must be going somewhere. There is a destination for all of us, as persons/organisms and as a collection of atoms and molecules - we will  keep traveling. Nowhere is a logical fallacy. It is a place that doesn't exist.

Being a nobody is not an option. I may not be a great or a famous one - but I will surely not be a "nobody".  My actions don't count as nothing/ zero. I am an entity and my existence is real. It doesn't matter how I exist, only thing that matters is that I exist, even to the point when "I" simply becomes irrelevant.

We already are somewhere and we already are somebody - we may not exist in these forms in another 100 years but we will still exist someway or the other - as sub-atomic particles, atoms, molecules, carbon etc. Existence is so enormous - we can hardly see it beyond our little bodies, our little lives and our little world. Existence is not limited to consciousness or "life" as we understand it . Life is pretty insignificant so to speak - there are things more basic that life. The universe is much more than alive - its buzzing with activity. Its changing in a way that change is the only thing constant- what a wonderful idea !

knowing all this, yet I'm just beginning to find out .........something I can never fathom in its entirety, in my entirety, but  I am a part of it and am happy to be ..............

X. Mask of Sanity

We all live our lives either trying to be act civil. Often we wear this mask of sanity that hides our true feelings. No matter what, we are recommended not to take off this mask. But sometimes it does slip off showing the true side of us. Seeing someone's madness can help to know the person better. The ugly side is as important as the pretty side.

Being in an altered state of consciousness does reveal this truth. But the rules still remain the same..

IX. perspective

man - so you're a lesbian, tell me why do you hate guys?

lesbian - it is they who hated me first..for being what I am

It is just a matter of perspective, eh ??

VIII. Great Expectations

Disappointments can be prevented if you do not expect anything out of anything/anyone. Must be thankful to whatever you have- the air you breathe, the water you drink, the rain, the clouds, parents, friends. Great expectations can be castles made of sand. Disappointment is an unnecessary trouble. You are fortunate if you can realize this... .

Us and them - Pink Floyd

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fighting's all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
