Digging the new look.

I know how you feel. Watching this actually made me tear up a little.

[AdamHintz]

I call it my winter coat. :D

I don't know if it's that we've alienated ourselves or if we're realizing how separated we've become and actually having a sense of it.

This video is right on the money for me lately.

If ignorance really were bliss, how would you know? You know... since youre ignorant.

The cost of sanity, in this society, is a certain level of alienation.... Comes with the territory. Communicate, communicate , communicate.... It is the only way.

There are far more of us out there than you think. You do not have to seperate from those who are lost and you do not have to teach and save each of them either. Do not lay that burden upon yourself. It only leads to misery. Use your knowledge to spread compassion and understanding of the "Human Condition." Teach those who seek this knowledge. And leave as little damage in your wake as possible.

Stay Strong.

check out the book days of war nights of love by the crimethinc collective. you won't regret it

I also am a little choosy when I select who I want to spend time with.

I think we're still waiting for ourselves to create the tipping point. Patience is not something taught well in our culture.

Heh, I guess in the end all we can do is hope.

i remember when my teachers would say "if you have a question or a comment, please ask or say it. if you have this problem, then odds are that many many more people do as well."

it doesnt take away all the bad stuff, but it helps to know that im not alone

from crime and punishment, except substitute the egotism behind "great men" with "people who have figured it out"-

pain and suffering are inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. the really great men must have great sadness on earth [read: in civilization]
