TO REVOLUTIONIST THINKING
THERE IS NO QUESTION OF ANYTHING

Until There Is A Question Of Everything

Some Conditions and Characteristics were talking together one day, away from man, and Cold said, "I flow downhill 'cause it's easiest." They all sat quietly for a spell, then Stupidity said, "Don't no body look at me and say NOTHIN'!"

An ole man told his kid, "If you've got a mind and if you feed it only from city food troughs, then don't look upon having insecurities as anything out of the ordinary."

The only thing a revolutionist really knows is what he knows beyond personal anecdotes. If what a man knows is limited to only what has happened to him, then all he knows is whatever has happened to him--which for some is not enough, since what ordinary men believe has happened to them personally is but a minute perception of what actually occurred.
[Correlated Law From Another Time Zone:
"Life is TOO big to take personally."]

Within the context of academic adventures and inter-city neural connections, an anthropologist is a man trying to visit himself.

One well-recognized, fully-functioning city critic notes:
"They don't give awards for tolerance and sensitivity."

In ordinary human systems
what are called anomalies
are actually normal parts of the system.
(In revolutionist conditions it is otherwise.)

One of the more significant, overlooked laws of the 3-D universe is The Law Of Habit. And even if it were seen it still wouldn't be put in its proper place as a basic principle of physics.

In finite lands
neither a sharp point nor a wily intersection
can talk their way out of a circle.

One of those sidewalk philosophers addressed the passing parade of humanity with these words: "As regards their relationship to the gods, men are of two classes: Those the deities have favored and those they have not. That is, those who believe that men can change, and those who've been blessed to know otherwise."

A chap apparently trying to engage Life in some new dance step, says he's writing a book that will attempt to "make some sense of Nature's sleaziness."

A triumphant general who would be a thinker looked out across the field of battle and pondered,
"What lessons can be learned from the defeated
if there are no survivors?"
An aide close by thought, "Yes, but what the hell
can an intelligent man gain from losers anyway?"

A fine upstanding gentleperson of the city seems to have about wrapped it all well up by explaining that inactivity drove him mad, and hard work made the final putt.
(Sister item: When you've "said it all," what more can you say? Answer: "I want to live!")
[Sister-in-law query: Does anybody GET IT?"]

Although it has long since been forgotten,
garbage-disposal landfills were modeled after the human mind.
And a man deep in the heart of the city said, "If I can think about it--I can bury it." (Sounds kinda "neat," but fails to take into account the question of where it originated in the first place.)

Over in this other reality that exists only every other hour, they have a continuing string of what they call "The Eternal Sixty Minute Mottos" (one of which yesterday was): "Anybody that'd talk about their past shouldn't really be expecting anything all THAT great in way of a future."

A foreign correspondent tells us that it is his opinion that humanity could make substantial leaps forward if man could just finally come up with an operationally comprehensive definition of exactly what is "stupidity."
Related item that may sound unrelated at first, but which could have been made to seem otherwise about the man in the above story: Making a parable end with an ironic twist can offer more relief than a self-freeing mouse trap.

Acting as a defender, the man said quite loudly, "If it were NOT for words, people couldn't BELIEVE anything they wanted to."
(And silently--unnoticed--many words nodded their agreement and satisfaction.)
