Most of what we believe is a lie. It was told to us as a lie but we believed it, and acted on it and now are too invested to call it for what it is. Now some of us, as we find gray hairs in our heads, find the courage to say of ourselves that we were fools. Damned fools. We were lied to. It was never what we thought it was. Some of it was a sad joke that is only funny to the men who it enriched. But now our friends are dead, we are crippled for life. Treasure, time, talent, gone. And no one wrote it down for the fools that will populate this land in 50 years. They will act as if they are facing these demons for the first time in history. This beat - it goes on.

Theoretical physics now postulates that there are an infinite number of parallel universes, with an infinite number of permutations from our own.
This means that somewhere in the vastness of space and time, there is actually a guy who looks just like me, with infinite wealth, unlimited power, incredible intelligence, remarkable skills, and amazing sexual prowess, who is universally respected and loved. This thought makes me just a little bit happier than I would otherwise be. |

What if you went back in time and did your grandma? View Quote Very similar story to be found on the Internet: "All You Zombies" by Robert A . Heinlein. Look for it. ************** I used to think the universe was out to get me. Then I learned that the universe doesn't give a damn. This was very comforting to me. --F. Symptoms, ca. 1980 or so. I never learned from a man who agreed with me. Robert A. Heinlein One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word. Robert A. Heinlein You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. Robert A. Heinlein |

View Quote "It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.” ? Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe |

Nobody really gives a real shit about you except for your momma.
It can always be worse. The fucking you get now won't be worth the fucking you get later. Your lack of planning is not my emergency. Don't shit where you eat. Shit attracts flies. Time to lean, time to clean. 5mins early = 10mins late. |

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs.

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them. Ecclesiastes 1:9-11, roughly 980BC |

Quoted:
These are statements that I have on my computer, where I can see them often during the day. Be as you wish to seem. Don't support laws you are not willing to kill to enforce. Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence. Explanations are such cheap poetry. It feels good and then it doesn't. It's just a moment in time, step aside and let it happen. No one is coming to save you. Progress not perfection. Truth not tribe. The past is a statement, the future is a question. Time does not tell the truth about our souls. Worrying will never change the outcome. You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle . Perception is reality. View Quote Some of those are really good |
