Emotion is what made us human;
intellect is what made us human beings.
The destiny of evolution doesn't depend on our material progress but on our collective sensibility.

le dernier mot

Pain, i deserve;
pleasure, i deserve;
and hence, to live, i deserve.

The trials & tribulations of life render more consolation than the uncertainty of afterlife.

What comfort of the Unknown
Have you ever dreamt of,
That you so deeply despise the Known
- to contemplate the noose of eternity?



(Well I remember Micky Doyle
he shuffled off this mortal coil
with no message for "that special girl"
just thank you and goodbye cruel world
then for the sake of Auld Lang Syne
he put his head on the railway line
looked up at the morning sun
and waited for the train to come...
...Everytime a churchbell rings
Another angel gets its wings.

- Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine in their song "Everytime a Churchbell Rings")

In the study of inflationary economics the term 'cheap' relates to the undesirable, & deliberately, not to the (easily) affordable.
