              A REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S REAL NEWS
                              ___________________________________
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those who feel responsible for life feel so naturally,
while those who want to be responsible for themselves must work for it.
(What kinda justice do ya call that!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The key to all normalcy is repetition;
the all purpose sleeping potion is repetition;
the faith of all fathers is repetition,
thus only the worst sort of mental outlaw would dare say a bad word about repetition.
…(Oh there is one more thing about repetition that might interest you
........................................................oh, never mind.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The standard way of being normal & civilized is to feel
a responsibility for the rest of humanity;
the enlightened way is to appear to.
(Life understands subterfuge as well as the next man.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Only reoccurring unsolvable problems seem repetitious,
not instinctive ones:
no one finds the reoccurrence of hunger monotonous,
but how about your mind’s complaints with yourself & others.
(Unsolvable problems can prove quite a drag to a few.)
 
 

For a man on the mental lam, there is but one workable motto:

Life absolutely controls man physically,
but gives the impression that it does not do so, his inner life.
(Life can pull a practical joke as well as the next guy.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Life settles accounts by the minute;
man’s mind, never does.......never can......
......and is damn near unable to ever see this.
(Some people believe that man’s mind and life are in cahoots.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

That which is natural to man can do no harm;
but that which he thinks is unnatural
he can imagine does do harm.
So there are your choices;  drink up, and stagger away in a daze.
(You will have mucho company.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There are men of thought and men of action,
And through instinct does life direct ordinary men to properly combine the two;
a few do not take kindly to life’s urgings in this affair,
and prefer to go it alone.
(Well, they prefer to try to go it alone.
It’s sad in a way, the number who start this compared to the number who finish this most extraordinary opportunity which life affords the few.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To enter the inner world of freedom
a  man’s initial allegiance must be to the truth of
what is going on in the world outside of him;
his later, ultimate allegiance can be but to the reality of
what is going on inside of himself.
(Where will you send your dead mind to be disposed of?
[Cannibalism unseen is cannibalism perfected.])
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Life births some men, hungry for a secret;
then leaves it to them to make up, I mean, find it for themselves.
(Man! Is it getting’ hot in here or what!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The more you talk, the less you understand,
but if you are standard issue --
the more you talk the more you sincerely believe you understand.
(A common faux pas in life is mistaking answers for questions.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When frustrated, taking action commonly enflames ordinary men,
while with the few, an opposite result is achieved.
