THE SIMPLICITY IS SEEN
ONLY BY REAL THINKERS

Laying It Out With An Unembellished Trowel
FEBRUARY 20, 2006                                                              © 2006 JAN COX



Ordinary men love proverbial notes regarding the nature of man  --
they relieve them of having to actually think about the matter.
Mystics sing the praises of existence, poets, of man;
only the rebel thinker, of the two together –  and includes Life,
which is what makes everyone’s singing possible in the foirst place.

(Without business, there can be no funny-business.)

As he sat in normal rush hour traffic (bumper-to-bumper, door-to-door)
one driver mused:
“Which is more amazing: that I can daily maneuver my way safely for long distances amidst this morass of men and machines, or that millions of unthinking ants do so
in their everyday lives?”
As he gazed pensively out his window, another thought suddenly struck him:
“Or are they both the same game?!”

There is no surer sign of a man’s ignorance than he believes something to be wrong with Life.
Totally Obvious But Unacknonwledged Fact.
No human has any way of making such a determination.

“Wisdom” is an original thought someone else once had;
for you to now repeat it is certainly a major event!                       (No doubt about it.)

The pleasurable mental-heavy-lifting is the exclusive domain of independent thinkers.

A guy pondered: “Which would be the worst: Having a fatal illness,
or having one for which there are highly annoying, life-extending treatments?”
After a moment, he further mused: “There is a similar question possible about
one’s everyday life even if you don’t have a fatal ill.”

Says one man:
“I would not talk so much about myself if I knew anyone else half as interesting as me.”

The difference between a sleeping man and an awakened one is that the former perceives things which everyone else believes are indispensable, as dispensable.

What defense is there against silence.

One chap says that the relentless pressures of modern life has caused him to display
a brand new medical phenomena: stressroids (though he doesn’t yet want to reveal
in which area of his body they appear).

In Re The Excitement In Ordinary Men’s Mental World.
When watching a TV fishing show becomes too stimulating,
many men will switch to the gardening channel.
The first-reality is defined by objects, the second by words;
defined, described, and composed entirely of words.               Next question?

If you find everyday life only boring  –  you'll never find the secret.

Definition.
Morality: Pretending to take seriously the complaints of others.

Once he was out on his own, one man made a deal with his self:
“For the first fifty years I'll make the bed every morning, and for the next fifty, I won't,” (and the bed said: “Fine by me.”)
Allegories come stuffed with both natural and man made materials.

Whenever the situation makes it appropriate, one father will say to the son:
“You can certainly be serious and suffer if you want to.”

Pigs in slop don’t have to think     --      (neither do ordinary men).

If there were any actual injustices in Life, it would be instances wherein those who know better don’t do better.                                         (But even then, look who is responsible.)

Through the automatic, daydream thinking of six billion humans does Life attempt to formulate a Theory Of Everything, and thus causes individual men to indirectly search for the same thing in their life.

In The Gym.
Mental-extensions are the favorite exercise of the certain-man.)

One man said to his inner-siamese twin:
“If being pissed at Life counted for anything,
then your team would be leading their division in some league some where.”

Proverbs and cliché are memorials to the dead.

Another Example Of The Difference.
In the past, when one man would unexpectedly awaken in the middle of the night
just as something was being played on the radio that he had wanted to hear, or when he received a phone call from someone he had just been thinking about, he found such occurrences quite curious, very intriguing, almost mystical, but now that he understands-what's-going-on, he doesn’t.

After billing his self as, Jumbo: The Flying Elephant Brain didn’t further his career/increase his celebrity, he changed it to, Jumbo: The Flying Elephant Penis.
Fact: Life provides some kinda audience for almost anything.
    (“Hang down your tom, head dooley,
       hang it down or raise it high…”)

One man conducts his life based entirely on the warnings contained
in Public Service Announcements.
(“It’s cheaper than being a Methodist     --     and it serves the same purpose.”)
