“Giving Up On Dreams” Is An Oxymoron
“Giving up on dreams” is an oxymoron. It makes no sense. If you love doing something — why would you give it up? Your life would have to force you to give it up, yes? How does life force you to NOT do something? If you must support yourself, then do. It doesn’t …
The Cure Is The Forgetfulness
To cure your problems – forget them. Forget your inadequacy. Forget your failures. Forget your bad experiences. Forget the pain. It’s all gone when you forget them.

You Must Disagree… Even When You’re Wrong
You must disagree. You have to. There is no other choice. Life is short and you don’t know what to do. You can now trust others and hope they are right. You have no reason to believe anyone is right. You have every reason to believe everyone is wrong. You see all this misery, …
REWIRE
