Sometimes when you are standing still and it’s snowing, you think that you hear music. You can’t tell where it’s coming from either. I wondered if we all really did have a soundtrack, but we just get so used to it that we can’t hear it anymore, the same way that we block out the sound of our own heartbeat. ↗

The problem is, we have too many cowardly, spineless, selfish people that would sacrifice their children’s future just to avoid the sacrifice love requires of them in the present. And they expect their children to respect them for that? Do they think we’re idiots just because we’re young? ↗

We will rich soon, and you who handle poverty badly will handle riches equally badly... In poverty she is envious. In riches she may be a snob. Money does not change the sickness, only the symptoms. ↗

Esoterically and philosophically true liberty leads to societies where we can totally pursue our real interests and are giving the intellectual or psychical vehicles to do so. There will be an understanding that everyone does the best mentally, physically, and spiritually when they are forced into nothing at all. A true reversal from what we have now. We would not have to learn to live, we would just live for whatever is our choosing. Does that sound crazy? Well I'm sure some cavemen couldn't comprehend what our society would be like, but I like to think a few did... ↗

There are the those whose own vulgar normality is so apparent and stultifying that they strive to escape it. They affect flamboyant behaviour and claim originality according to the fashionable eccentricities of their time. They claim brains or talent or indifference to mores in desperate attempts to deny their own mediocrity. ↗
