I love the last paragraph. I wish that it were there as a stand-alone. Very beautiful and thought provoking. It has the poetic, metaphysical qualities of the great poets and thinkers of old. I can really really associate moments like this with myself in a very personal way. I think I had that moment myself. Thank you for writing it.

The beginning, though poetic, artistic, and philosophy driven, hard to read. Full of existential depression and fatalism...Of course I am the last person to complain of someone being hard to read.

lol'd @ Jim.

You are right. When I read the last paragraph alone it was better. Maybe it took all that prior purging to get to the creative part.

To fear and to wonder is not an illness contrary to first few replies. It take much more courage to acknowledge the dark realities that you are so intrigued with. And it takes more of it to pen it down.
Sure, double spacing would have been quite helpful for all the aging eyes out there.

BTW, there's ctrl+<scroll-up> option available with almost any man-made browser, in case someone is interested in missing out the charm of "small-font & less-than-double-spaced" articles/blogs

I am so grateful that it's not an exorcist face. How I hated those email jokes. Scared the hell out of me.

Btw, how did you make the pickle to appear like that. Cool trick.

You got that right jinx. These are lines typically fed to someone in therapy. This is the psycho-babble of someone who believes that having that experience qualifies them to expound on a subject with "lay" people. It's a fraud. That does not; however, diminish a talent for creative writing. Give credit where credit is due.

Since you seemed so well-aware of this therapy, how many times you went through it?

Fear is not necessarily associated with depressions. Isn't it a thrill to have a roller coaster ride, watch a horror movie, shit over the edge of the cliff

, etc? Fear can stimulate you with varying energies.

Oh yes, perfectly understandable. You are in the line of patients.
Well, wait for your turn (Therapy won't help you anyway).

Projecting your personal failure on others isn't going to endear you to the community. What do you want here?

wanderer · 03-25-2010, 04:54 AM

What projection? what failure? What endearing?

Now the interesting part:
What do you want here?
Make it a separate thread in the community.
Maybe everyone ought to answer this. And yes, the best answer wins.......well, nothing
