"Should I try to hide,
the way I feel inside.
My heart
for you
would you say that you would try to love me too.
In your mind, could you ever be, really close to me?
I can tell the way you smile.
If I feel that I could be certain then,
I would say the things I want to say tonight..."
Yeah... Nothing comes to mind that I want to say. I experience lock.
Again, I can't get my mind off the subject of nuclear war. After languages, it's probably the thing that I've studied most.
It's all the spice of life. Ahe-
I can't be that bad, not that depressing, can I?
All that I'm saying is that there may not be any true majesty of the human "soul" in the world we live in. It's all just within us and very rare and stringent in it's means of departure. Greatness does exist even in the most conventionally mediocre life. All that you retain is your intellect, that's what matters.
Perhaps enough insight and empirical data can be assimilated in one person to cross some fundament and Learn a great new truth. Perhaps it's happened before to people we have heard of, but we're never sure because it's a personal revelation. Something that vindicates the life you've spent in vain for so long.
That's not so bad is it? I mean that was everone's hunch from way back. Classical civilization figured it out. Democritus (I think he was called, the philosopher from Abdura...) and Euripides, Plato, etc...
You get the idea.
The Sumerians understood it but dropped the ball and things looked, well, pretty bleak.
The Babylonians caught on kind of, but the continuity got a little scrambled.
Or I'm just full of shit, as usual.
I sleep for days because that's how I balance the staying awake for nights in a row. Try it.
'Gonna read about gamma rays and look for a job. I'll be back.
