Ignorance

Ignorance is preferable to knowledge.
For knowing produces an
awareness of consequences
in doing.

It makes action objective, rational
and often very boring.

Justice

My will is free.
My conscience is bound by habit.
So I freely choose that which I do by habit.

Where is the justice in that?

What We Are

What we appear to be
is more important to other people
than what we are.

What we are is our own secret.

When others know that secret
it ceases to be what we are
and becomes their property.

Tainted by their perceptions.
it grows into what we appear to be.

I Am Glad

I am glad I'm not a vacuum cleaner.
Fancy having to suck carpet all day.

TOP

Not Positive

Not positive is
not absolutely negative.


But it can be almost nearly
positively negative
and that's very confusing.

Getting Happiness

To cause me to be happy
people should not merely
invite or instruct.

They should present me
with an unmistakable focus for happiness.

Or perhaps
I should find it for myself.

TOP

Lonliness

Lonilness is not being alone.

It is being with others
who choose to
ignore your presence.

Patience

If patience is a virtue
And virtue infinite
It must be possible to be
Infinitely patient

But life is finite
And mocks the notion of
Infinite patience

Today is only today
and what I don't fit into it
Is lost forever.

Clear Vision

If blind men can see what they feel
Why don't men with sight feel what they see?

It's all a matter of choice wherein
Sight alone does not necessarily produce clear vision.

The Titanic (originally recorded in 1980)

The Titanic did not sink at all

It was swallowed by a whale
and will be vomitted up on
the shores of Southern France
in October 1991.

By which time
most of the passengers
will be much older
than the were
when it was.

Beautiful Creatures

Droothorp Spandlings
are beautiful creatures.

Except they sploot in an odd way
and smell bad after rain.

GOD IS GOOD

GOD is GOOD with an "O" missing
Therefore GOOD is GOD plus an "O"...

...or maybe
GODO is, or
ODOG is, or
DOOG is, or...

ON DOING THINGS

Let me do a thing
and I do it for myself

Make me do a thing
and I do it for you, to save myself

Invite me to share
the doing of a thing
and enjoy the pleasure
we can bring each other.

ON WATCHING TV

Why sing a song of sixpence?

It is equally as ludicrous
as installing reverse gears
on the baker's horse.

I know because
I've just watched TV.

Penis - Location of...

When gentlemen age their minds play a trick.
Remembering where they last left their dick
becomes quite a trial, a dilemma indeed
of noted proportions. And that’s why they need
a textbook of sorts, compendium like,
of the kind people use when they’re fixing a bike
or a car.  One that lists all the parts of the whole
and illustrates each, plays a comforting role.

SEE SAWS

A see-saw
is a madness

Unless you want to go
up and down
relying totally on the co-operation
of someone else.

TOP

ON TEACHING

Readiness to learn results from choice.

It indicates
intentionality
committment and
desire.

I can be, or can create
the object of your readiness to learn
But I cannot be the cause.

You must want that for yourself

I cannot make you learn
and since you will only learn
when you want to...

...a significant part of the process
the choice to want...

is up to you

I do not want to mould or change you.
I simply want you to see
and know yourself
so you can love the world we share.

TOP

EMOTION

I can be the object
of your anger
sympathy
fear
or love
But I cannot be the cause.

The emotion is yours
and you alone control it.

Top

A DIGITAL DILEMMA

I knew a man
who cut off his hand
to stop his finger bleeding.

If another finger bleeds
he will not be able
to hold the axe.
