3.3.14
The undead vs. the immortal
Preserving meaning, when survival is threatened!
The mechanized, the brutalized, the divinized, the demonized, ……and the humanized man……
Civilize > acculturate
The zombie, the monster & the hero
The poison of blandness! The danger of harmlessness… The pit of unremarkableness……
There are 2 kinds of people:
Those who consider themselves boring, but who are really interesting
&
Those who consider their own lives as important, but who are utterly insignificant
Redeem ~ liberate ~ heal ~ fulfill
Delivering the ego from the captivating force of the id, as well as the oppressive authority of the superego… whether it is the former or the latter, slavery is slavery!
Being passionate, without becoming crazy,
Being rational, without becoming calculative…
It’s all about taking the role of rider & bridling the horse!
The hedonist who is not afraid of suffering, or averse to sacrifice or discipline, is truly free!
The astonishing tenacity & timidity of human nature.
“If there is meaning in life at all, there must also be meaning (possible, even) in suffering!”
