The primary pastime of one city general is to use as often as possible,
multi syllable, learned words such as: reconnoiter, adversarial and debacle,
(and of course, shooting people).
Yet another of the many benefits of being ordinary-minded:
you do what you have become expected to do without being required to
know what you are doing.
In the urban mental milieu, calling certain behavior: custom and tradition
makes beaver brained habit seem more acceptable (if not sometimes, laudable).
What is (after all): being-asleep & unenlightened other than being predictable  --
and denying it.
In Styland there is nothing amiss with being a pig  --
but going around mooing can be downright embarrassing
(that is of course: if pigs could be embarrassed).
    “Okay then: what is being-asleep & unenlightened but being in a constant state of
      embarrassment  --  known only to yourself?!”
Not bad.
 
 
 

Proverb Probing.
If in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king,
where exactly would a single eared chap do well?
 
 
 

A father noted to a son: “As you get older, if you don’t take action:
you become a parody of your younger self.”
(The lad started to say: “Well, it could be worse,” but realized that if he did,
he wouldn’t be knowing what he was talking about.)
 
 
 

The heart of the certain man’s heavy-lifting is in being born what he is.
(Surely there is some advantage to getting the stickier stuff out of the way early on.)
 
 
 

Regarding Drugs And Being Awake.
The nice thing is: when you are  --  you’re your own dealer.
 
 
 

Once you understand what’s going on (and you’re not a recluse)
the only thing left to do socially is  --  be nice.
 
 
 

Dialogue.
“The most important thing to being a spiritual leader, or spokesman for
any intangible endeavor, is to use as strong an authoritarian voice as possible.”
   “Is that why certain thoughts in my head sound like they do?”
 
 
 

Everything you say while asleep is clearly bullshit  --
while everything you say when awake  --   only you know what it is.
 
 
 

Conversation.
“What could be more stressful than being married when you’re actually gay?!”
   “Pretending to be an adult when you’re only a child’s dream?”
Fact: Not everyone who asks a question  --  wants an answer.
 
 
 

How To Know For Sure You're In The City.
It is where perfectly normal people find it hip to publicly speak of their sad circumstances and confess their helplessness to do anything about it.
(Tearing up can also help.)
Corollary: Only those unable to execute their desires, make them known;
the truly powerful are always silent.
 
 
 

Real News Of Religion.
A man who understands what is really going on is one who might (for instance)
read the Bible, or Koran and see it as the story of what went on inside of one man.

One chap offers:
“I’ll tell you exactly when all the trouble started:
it was when men began saying that there is a connection between
the thoughts a person has and their behavior.”
 
 
 

Colloquy
“A man who-knows-what's-going-on is not impressed by anyone.”
    “How about by himself?”
“Uhhh.............amused, maybe.”
 
 
 

A mind
that will take the time
to explain itself to other cows
feels afterwards  --  satisfied.
Note: Bovine and human satisfaction are not necessarily the same thing.
         “But if you’re only a cow  --  how would you ever know?!”
 Butterfat bulls eye!
 
 
 

Tete-a-tete
“The only quality-time of interest to the certain man is that spent with himself.”
        “Boy --  that comes as a real surprise.”
 
 
 

In city affairs: life finds safety in: duplication-of-services  --
hence: collective thinking.

Being-kind-to-strangers is the only way the man-who-knows,
knows to handle the self he came with.

* Not with the man who knows.
