One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
-Georg Christoph Lichtenberg


The more people talk, the less they know.  Which is why I shall continue to talk about people being wise, because I am not wise, and the more I talk about it the more someone will think I am.  Or, I suppose thats the point of doing all this talk.  (of couse it's not, but I'm a big fan of tounge and cheek humor).

Of course, how can you share your wisdom without talking, typing, writting?  You can't.  Well, you can, but you have to actually be with people, you know those other things made of meat that look vaugely like you that you see when you exit your mom's basement.  Wisdom is best shown by action, but words suffice when they must.

Illumination is not the act of talking about Illumination, it is the act of alchemy within the self, and not the circumstansial alchemy some speak of.  It is the act of changing the perception rather then the reaction.  The reaction is a neccisary step, but it is not enough.  The reaction will not have to be quelled (for it will be different and appropriate) when the perception of the event has changed.

So, what does all this mumbojumbo swamp talk mean to you?  Well, I'm not sure it means anything.  It might if thats the point you're at.  But, if you are your own holy book (and you'll know if you are, if you think you are then you better double check), then it doesn't mean alot, because you've got it figured out already.

The Illumination will not be Televised.
Resistance is Fertile.

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
-Mark Twain

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

3/10, for the "leaving your basement" bit.

Keep that, demolish the rest, build another rant around it.  Not enough beef on that bone, junior.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"
