Some gods were discussing their latest efforts at mortal creation and one of them said: "What'll we do to bamboozle this batch?"
And a second one replied: "Give 'em a sense of urgency."
At the routine level
it takes no more effort to think
than it does to merely survive.
One man's determination:
"For twenty years I have been clever -- now I must move on."
If there is a battle forever transpiring, it is between the collective and the individual, between the past and the present, between the silence and too much talk, and between the here and the thinking-of-here.
A man told his mind: "I don't like what I've become."
And his mind replied: "I'm not to blame."
And he rejoined: "Still it's up to you to rectify me."
The hero in a legend from another world had as his twin companions “Fear, and Despair”; they traveled with him, and when necessary, fought with him, both as adversaries, and as allies.
There are two readily observable stages of possible neural activity.
The first is: Thinking,
and the second is: Thinking metaphorically;
many people never reach the second,
and most of those who do,
believe it to be the ultimate in mentation
and they are wrong.
While sitting alone a man said, "You talk too much."
And his mind said, "Don't look at me."
And the man just smiled, somewhat sarcastically it seemed.
Collective mythology says that a man must go on a grand adventure so as to make a great discovery, while a thinker might first make a discovery and then undertake an adventure.
Every day (at off times) one man would privately look himself up and down and say, "It's me -- it's all me."
What is a thinker's first duty?
The same as everyone else's
to survive.
For revenge -- one man gave his enemy a watch.
Don't think to far
from what you are.
More Underground History:
Whenever the ordinary stumble across the truth,
they don't know what else to do but call it "morality."
A fright can be useful to everybody
but to a thinker -- really-y-y useful.
Submissive wolves love a good beating,
men also though they won't admit it.
"Comparing men to animals is like trying to compare apples to oranges."
"Yeah, I know -- it works for me too."
