We lost ourselves in love by R.D. Laing

We lost ourselves in love.
 And then lost love.
We searched for it thro both our hearts.
 In vain.
We found only our graves.
We looked above,
Below, about:
But always the same pain.

The pain has gone.     
We sit and watch TV
We seldom yawn.     
She makes me cups of tea
We tell no tales.     
There’s no more need for guile
We do not pick our nails.     
We sometimes smile

We’re grateful to the powers that be
For lifeless, loveless, hateless, apathy

I can’t remember when I last felt glad
I can’t remember when I last felt sad
I can’t remember when I last got pissed
I can’t remember when I last was kissed.

He didn’t particularly like her
But she was having his child
She didn’t especially fancy him
But her parents were going wild

He was too selfish and guilty
To walk away scot free
She felt like a caged canary
When he said “Marry me”

They had a beautiful baby
Then another two or three
She prayed to the Virgin Mary
To return her virginity

He contemplated murder
He tried a mistress or two
She would often shudder
When she thought of what life can do

They grew old together
Each completely alone
Neither could help each other
Their hearts had turned to stone.

Reverse Revolutionary politics.

The only thing that needs to be changed about the world is that a lot of people want to change it; that too in opposing directions. Therefore, the Marx's famous proclamation that 'Philosopher's have hitherto only interpreted the world, the time is to change it', should be revisited too.

People have hitherto only tried to change the world, the time is to 'leave it as it is'.#Paradox

Nietzsche meets a thelogian and a scientist.

  Theologian:
  Life is a mystery. It is a question that begs an answer. God must be the answer.

Scientist:
Life is a question that begs an answer, but the answer lies in simple natural explanation. We have no need of a supernatural hypothesis. Nature is the answer.

Nietzsche:
Ah! both the morons above  got it wrong. In life there are no answers (facts) only questions (interpretations).

 

Sic Transit Gloria!

''For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.."

General George S. Patton from the movie 'Patton'.

Enslavement

I need infinite variety of experiences in my life to be free, for what else is stagnation but enslavement?

A story about Jihad!

I could see it quite vividly. He was standing there in the distance, standing tall. With a sword in his hand, he smiled at me. That was my future getting ready to wage a war against my decadent past.

Philosophy and Life!

Philosophy taught me that if you never want to commit mistakes then remain silent. Life taught me that it was my gravest mistake.
