the illumination is not worth the candle

so most of us get by by not seeing things too clearly. everything is a little blurred but, being always this way, people dont notice it and we say that each of them is a picture of mental health. (from 7 types of ambuiguity by elliot perlman)

which brings us back to that old joke--whats the largest river in egypt? de-nile.
but wasnt my friends brother or my sister worth a candle or two? m abusing herself, or g driven to hang himself by the fsb(the new kgb) or the many others whose lives have intersected with mine in one way or another-were they not worth a stick of wax? people spiralling or sometimes not moving at all. i see them at work, i see them at play. who the fuck is in control of the matches here? lives wasted, tortured, so much pain, indescribable. please look, look closely.
i feel the ache in my belly as i write this.

this is your life and its ending one minute at a time-fight club

    There you go again, forgetting the
    prime directive: "its all about me, me, me, me....... isnt it??".

    Correct interpretation depends on the
    correct perspective.

    ah, but the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long...

    we need to open our eyes, but remember not to stare out into the sun for too long. nobody but nobody is the picture of mental health, so we deal with ourselves and this crazy world as best we can. moral of fight club - make every minute count.

    You have been away for far too long. Write your readers something.

    A quote for you:
    "The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one."
