If Ignorance Is Bliss.....
  
Then Surely It Must Be Folly To Be Wise!

I'm starting to blog again. However I will ruffle some feathers so if it pisses you off so be it, and if you have something constructive to add do so. If you just want to be bitchy then be forewarned. It's just a button push away from blogville to banville.

Then what is the answer? It is simply not to be deluded by dreams.
It is to know that great civilizations have broken down into violence, and their tyrants have come many times before.
It is to know that when open violence appears to avoid it with honor or choose the least ugly faction; these evils are essential to keep ones own integrity, to be merciful and uncorrupted and not wish for evil;as well not to be duped by dreams of universal Justice or happiness, for these dreams will not be fulfilled.
To know this,and to know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful.
A severed hand is an ugly thing,and a man dissevered from the earth, stars and his own history for contemplation or in fact often appears atrociously ugly.
Integrity is wholeness.
The Greatest beauty is Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things.
The divine Beauty of the Universe, LOVE THAT, not man apart from that, or else you will share in man's pitiful confusions, or drown in despair when your days darken.

I believe this will be known as the age of lamentations.
The age of broken minds and broken souls.
The age of hurt creatures sobbing out their sorrow to the rhythm of the blues.
The music of lost desolation has become the rhythm of the world.
The age of the failure of splendid things
The age of the deformity of splendid things
The age of old young men and bitter children
The age of treachery and a great new faith
The age of madness and machines
The age of broken bodies and fear twisted hearts
The age of frenzied fumbling and possessive lusts.
And yet deep down,an age unsatisfied with dust dirt and guns.
An age which though choked by the selfishness of the few,who owned their bodies and their souls,still struggled blindly towards the end.
And in their time reached out magnificently towards the very Stars themselves

When Giants do what Giants do they are simply called Giants,When ordinary people do that which Giants do regardless of the consequences they are called Hero's
