About Me

' T h e d i s e a s e h a d s h a r p e n e d m y s e n s e s . . . f o r i t w a s n o t t h e o l d m a n t h a t h a d v e x e d m e , i t w a s h i s E v i l E y e . '


I love music, but despise the radio.....love movies, but despise "Hollywood" and television....love physical fitness, but despise jocks..love politics, but despise the right..love individuals with strong values and opinions, but despise close mindedness..love women, but despise drama....love history, but despise the way it is taught....love spirituality, but despise the institution of religion....love tattoos, but despise "flash" and people who get them for a trend/to show off....love this country, but despise who runs it and how it was acquired..love the world itself,but despise most of the people in it....love this site, but despise random, spam friend requests from people who don't take the time to read profiles.... Anyway, do any of these subjective perceptions matter? We can't help what we like, but we can overcome dislike by not over indulging/being attached to what we "like" and thus overcoming the differentiation. Everything we like is an acquired taste, everything we dislike can be acquired if we recognize its validity- which everything and idea has. This good/bad, like/dislike duality is what perpetuates inner conflict, greed, and thus external conflict Nothing and Nobody is intrinsically good or bad; it's all the ego building its never ending creation of the self! To TRULY accept and/or understand others, the concepts of the self as well as right/wrong and good/bad need to be overcome as all viewpoints are equally valid.....or equally invalid!>.......AND I WISH I HAD BEEN HERE......
