How can I make my thesis clear in this introduction?

Today, we live in a society where we are free to choose whomever we want to marry, unlike in the short story, “The Needle”, by Isaac Bashevis Singer. -------->It must therefore be true that people themselves are just as qualified as matchmakers are; both can thread relationships with a needle, that is, the key to love. <--------When creating a successful marriage, one must always have a keen eye and a sharp end like a needle. If one can accord to such a discovery, why trouble someone else to do the same? To go about finding your Romeo or Juliet in the right way, all you need is to be guided by pure intent, while going about it the wrong way can lead to disastrous results, and finally, never amuse oneself that you have truly understood the magic behind true love.

thanks.

We No Longer Play Catch (In The Yard) (sexual abuse)






Dippin' my toe in
against my will
Just seven years old,
to him such a thrill

How I really miss
being a kid
As a toddler,
a child
before seven hit

and we no longer
play catch
(in the yard)

Just the thought of it
now, whisky and smoke
Being felt through the night time
Lord I'd invoke

How I really miss
being a kid
All the fun things
that Dad and
I did

and we no longer
play catch
(in the yard)

Coercing young victims
against my will
Just seven years old,
to me such a thrill

How I really miss
my pure innocence
As a toddler,
a child
before seven hit

and we no longer
play catch
(in the yard)

... you were to put Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand and Anton LaVey all in the same room? What conversations would stir? Would arguments ensue? Utterly uncomfortable silences, maybe?

I guess what I'm asking is, do you think these three have clear distinctions in their philosophies, or are they just historical figures who've reiterated the same ideas of existentialism/objectivism/satanism?

THE VALUE OF THE MIND, SIMPLIFIED

How about the conceptualization of
intra psychic structures? For fun?

Balderdash, say you? Tennis, anyone?

Tennyson, anyone? Not keen on Lord Alfred?
Can't say I blame you. Being long dead
might just explain why he's under-read.

While starlets and scalawags share a bed
true genius seldom keeps the family fed.

Stephen Hawking taps his fingers to the beat
of Coleman Hawkins, while his quarks collide
with grand octaves - music and math glorified.

One bled this from his soul.
The other one just knows.

While there is no correlation between creativity
and financial gain, both provide their rewards.

The trick is in choosing
what the spirit can afford.

How much is one willing to give up to ensure
either smugness of mind or stock options galore?

How readily do we barter the soul?
And when we do what's left to show?

And when all is said and done
who dictates who really won?

(Yes, I wrote this drivel.)

1. Read a story and paraphrase it?
2. Have emotions?
3. Make decisions?
4. Understand language?
5. How about have a consciousness?

Do you think a computer can someday do these things or are these things that only the human mind can do..?

Angelic One...





For Samuel Michael (it spells his name down the side)


Written By A. H. Shadow Rai’
A.K.A. Lisa P. A. Brown



Samuel Michael,
so God like indeed
Angelic one God has
sent forth to me
Miraculous deeds
in the future I see
Unassumingly gallant,
a most unique breed
Everlasting your love is
and shall always be
Living life to the fullest
in purest of heed
Masquerading among us,
a clever young tike
Innovative, a leader
foreseeing his plights
Channeling family and friends,
sealing bonds tight
Helping those much less fortunate
deal in their strife
Angelic one God hath
brightened my life
Eccentric, mold broken,
future young and a wife
Lovingly excepted
as God
opens the sky.....

"Faith is deciding to allow yourself to believe something your intellect would otherwise cause you to reject; otherwise there's no need for faith."~unkown

"Faith is the power to stand up to the madness and chaos of the physical world while holding the position that nothing external has any authority over what heaven has in mind for you is far greater."~Caroline Myss


"Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe."~unknown

as i lay in my bed restlessly
not knowing when my mind will give up
about thinking o the long day at work and school
not knowing what time it is
i am truly wrapped around by this lonly night of ours,
winds coming from every direction
bringing their own sorrows,
i ask this night
and the lonely moon
where is my love
that im about to speak of
is she truly there waiting for me
as i am truly here.
...to be continued...
how is this...i know this is horrible
but do i show signs of a poet
