The Problem With Modernity Is That We Are Simply Not Modern
Mankind is not so modern. We are old. Governed by our instincts. Our best response to our bestiality is to hamper it with laws and regulations. Which itself is bestiality (answering force with the threat of a force). This barely even works and we will probably kill each other soon. Whatever. Instead I …
You Will Be Rewarded
You want a reward. You want a reward because you want things. You want a reward because you want to believe your action, your effort wouldn’t be for granted. You want a reward, because you have a ridiculous idea that the world is just. It is just. Just not in the way you’d think. …
THE WANT THE CHOICE THE NEW

If you are addicted to pleasure – you are an addict – and you are no different to a drug addict. Overindulgence only brings …
It’s What You Don’t Want, Not What You Want
Ah, it’s a curious little feature of this LIFE, of this LIFETIME it is so f i n i t e The time of our life is scarce and the natural consequence of doing what we DON’T WANT is that it subtracts from the little time we have for doing what we DO WANT. …
Should And Could
Whatever you should do — enslaves you. Whatever you could do — liberates you. It sounds almost too cliche yet living this simple mantra is entirely different then understanding it. Once we were simply alive and there was no context to the living itself — just pure living. Once, there was no “should” …
You Either Lost It, Seek It, Or Have It
Contentment. Happiness. Satisfaction. Completeness. What is it and why do you not have it? We are struggling, we are dissatisfied, we are in conflict. Where is contentment? Where is completeness? Where is PEACE? You either lost is, seek it, or have it. There really are only 3 types of people, those …
