The Second Time

37

There is a pattern.

The most marvelous words are born from pain.

There can be no light without dark. Opposing forces rely on one another.

Beauty comes from sadness and anger.

All things are paradoxical.

All notions are wrong. (All notions are right.)

Truth is subjective.

The world is a running line, and all opinions are mere blips that barely disrupt the surface, with the force of a feather.

Finding a muse comes at a radical price. Before you fall, consider this.

Writing exacerbates pain, and deepens joy. There is no moderation.

There is good in all terrible things. Silver lining is a real and devastating concept. Find it in ashes, and in afterthought. One can only hope the search becomes second nature. 

Absolute is personal. It exists in a different form in each mind. Imposing one's absolute on another is a great evil.

Organized religion is exploitation.

Hope is for those who have nothing left.

Those who are actively passive are actively ignorant. To turn your back on knowledge is sin. Numbness is self-condemnation.

Humanity is laughable, because we are predictable; we subject ourselves to life in pattern and pretend we do not notice. There is always a pattern.
