i've been thinking lately about the ideas of my favorite writer khan.
he's very much about giving unconditionally, which sounds easy when you see it but so very hard when you realize. no grudges, which is especially hard for me. i remember everytime i've been dicked around and there have been many many many times. it's not easy to forget something that happens all the time. i've agreed with everything i've read by him. i would want to practice these common ideas but it seems so hopeless when the majority of people see it to be wrong.
reading his stuff has made me feel sane, like, yeah man, that's exactly it, why doesn't anyone else see it like that except you, me and brandon.
i wanted to write to him badly, but b said that he's pretty sure that he's dead.
the world would surely be a better place if everyone read khan. it's not too religous or pushy. ah well, not ready yet i guess, maybe the world will never evolve that way.
here's a little piece of something he wrote on friendship:
"we often use the word lightly, calling every aquiantance a friend, or processing to be somebody's friend; but the more we realize the meaning of it, the less we are able to claim friendship. for everything in life we are tested, examined, and tried, but to pass the examination of friendship is the most difficult thing in the world"
his idea on friends is pretty intense. i don't think i could do it, it would at least take a lot of work. when there are no pupils willing then what are you even trying for, he would say, keep trying. somewhere down the line good will come of it. it could be after you live a few more times of course. if i didn't let getting hurt by people effect me, laugh at difficulty and forgive anything anybody every did to me, maybe, but how does someone do that. enough babbling.
