Fact (1): The only Real education anyone ever receives is from their self;
(2) most people remain conspicuously igerunt and uneducated.
 
 
 

There are but three literatures: about the physical world (science);
about the human world (everything other than science),
and the third type exists only in the heads of TheFew.
 
 
 

The unenlightened always want to “reform society;”
the partially lightened, want to reform themselves;
the fully lit just want to be themselves.
 
 
 

A man who makes it a point to say that he is, “telling you what he really thinks”
is telling you that he does not think.
 
 
 

A father so advised a son: “If you simply have to comment on what seems to you to be
the sometimes stupidity of man, don’t misfire and blame the men –
put the blame where it belongs --  on life.”
(‘Tis the ocean that drives a drop to a life of crime, but note carefully:
‘tis not the conditions within the waters that is the cause --  but the ocean itself;
a subtle but stringent distinction unrealized but by a precious few drops,
[and at present there is  no  clinical evidence showing that this realization is of any specific benefit to such drops, (although it does appear to please them greatly)]).
 
 
 

A man who wants you to know that he does not “take himself seriously”
takes himself quite seriously.
No one has ever seen an actual humble man.....................he would pass all notice.
 
 
 

Thought symbolically puts physical objects in conflict so as to make comparisons
which can lead to practical action,
and when not engaged in such profitable affairs,
it puts people’s ideas into conflict  --  for no other reason than entertainment.
 
 
 

Forget about opposed thumb, tools & culture,
what makes man singular is that he is the only species in which
one creature tries to tell another one how to live its life.
 
 
 

There are two ways to judge how goes the life of man:
by watching, and by listening,
that is by watching how men actually live their lives
compared to listening to what they say about how they do.
 
 
 

Ordinary men are forever proffering that prayer, worship, charitable acts
are man’s best non physical, (that is), spiritual nourishment,
which is an unwitting, round about way of saying that:
thought is its own best nourishment --
and is in fact, its only source of nourishment,
but made much, much richer, entertaining and useful when this fact is realized.
 
 
 
 

There is no folly more exhilarating & gratifying than a human attempting to explain & analyze something in man's thought based, second-reality,
something which exists only because man’s mind has conjured it.
.....(Detailed describing of Cinderella’s gown  --   goot got!)
 
 
 

Forget the proverbs you’ve heard:
small streams/ from mighty rivers can flow,
and tiny trees from large acorns grow.
.....(It’s one way life keeps men on their toes.......and their neighbor’s.)
 
 
 

Attempting to doTheThing & get-to-the-bottom-of-life is one of the few things for which the warning need not be issued: “Do not try this at home.”
 
 
 

The best thing about being a priest, rabbi, psychologist or guru is that
it doesn’t take long before you think you know it all,
(as contrasted to a man who really does know   ---    he has forgotten it all).
 
 
 
 

A chap in Essex has just completed a tally and says that
93.67% of everything man has ever written was some type of whine.
 
 
 
 

There is no way to say how an ordinary man would be better off.

Why thinketh ye that thar be
a popular phrase: “Died before his time”
and not one in which the word “died” is replaced by its opposite?
 
 
 
 

When humans don’t have anything to talk about –
they’ll some times make up something,
.....(just ‘tween us, make that  ---  all of the time.)
 
 
 
 

The ceaseless, non essential, apparently pointless thoughts forever passing through men's brains help support the impression that man is the instigator, or at least
active participant in his destiny! --
for why else would he be engaged in this totally useless activity
did he not do so wilfully and intentionally?!
It can’t be natural! --  it must be some self initiated foolishness.
   This could be why the mind has no innate interest in self examination --
   it might reveal the truth about this matter  ---   Yikes!
 
 
 
 

And the day’s final fact:
Someone asked the person who writes this daily news page:
“Man oh man! -- where do you get all that stuff?”
and before anyone could stop them, the news jumped in and said:
“Aw --  he just makes it all up!” --
and lo!  there was much moaning and loaning and ga-nashing of teeth,
and the people were sorely affixed and cried out: “Verily, verily we say unto us:
‘Holy hell!  Screeded shit! and: Who threw the well in the well!’”
and suddenly     --      super suddenly!:
a great peace fell upon the land – (just ahead of the land doing so  --
everything eventually landing on itself anyway);
and the moral? --  the moral?, my friend – Huh! --  don’t get me started,
just see to it that some day you too can be accused of just:
                                                       Making it all up!
