thoughts in chaos

long is the way and hard that out of hell leads up to the light. [john milton] the mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death. [oscar wilde]

Shortcomings

I just wish I could pull out money from out of nowhere the same way I can pull out patience out of nowhere. I'd be filthy rich then, and wouldn't need that much patience to deal with some people I could simply chose not to see.

Unfortunately, patience is (seemingly) a virtue and wealth is (seemingly) a sin. This state of affairs has to be the work of some messed-up god, definitely - otherwise, we can only assume that being all-wise and all-powerful has its shortcomings too.

Backstabbing

We always come up with excuses for those we care about, and we do it to the point of being blind. We cannot conceive that those who profess their love and loyalty for us could betray us, but the history of backstabbing was written by the closest friends, not by the fiercest foes. Caesar explains.

Mortar

Some people do never learn. They keep calling for truth, the same truth that slaps then in the face whenever they find it. They can never handle it. Yet they demand it, as if they had any right to it. As if they were entitled to it. They don't understand that the mortar that helds social life together is lies, not truth. No one likes the wise guy - people crave delusions and white lies, to the point when they cannot live without them anymore. Truth? Let out the truth and see how long it takes for us to return to barbarism.
