Memorial day for the war dead. Add now the grief of all your losses to their grief, even of a woman that has left you. Mix sorrow with sorrow, like time-saving history, which stacks holiday and sacrifice and mourning on one day for easy, convenient memory. Oh, sweet world soaked, like bread, in sweet milk for the terrible toothless God. "Behind all this some great happiness is hiding. "No use to weep inside and to scream outside. Behind all this perhaps some great happiness is hiding. Memorial day. Bitter salt is dressed up as a little girl with flowers. The streets are cordoned off with ropes, for the marching together of the living and the dead. Children with a grief not their own march slowly, like stepping over broken glass. The flautist's mouth will stay like that for many days. A dead soldier swims above little heads with the swimming movements of the dead,

I think world's gone nuts. WE ARE LIKE ANIMALS ONLY WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS.

We don't like learning too much. That's why our god Jesus didn't make a computer or car and found an easy way out.
And that's the only reason why we have a way too many religions, gods and DELUSIONS.

a lot of people say that but how do you truly feel about it. if you look around, someone may have the potential but not enough energy or can't ever get back on track, etc, etc, the list goes on. so how true do you feel this statement is in real life. thanx

Plotinus thought that until we fixed all our flaws, we could not see true beauty, and be closer to the "one." Isn't safe to say that the movie, "Sweet November", is alike, in the idea that if you fix your inner problems good things would come about? Like the fact that Keanu Reeves character starts to fix his problems, like selfishness, materialism, and his hard heart, and he is a transformed man, a better man. I am having a hard time finding a modern day comparison to this idea about fixing our flaws, whether a commercial, movie, or song? HELP!

Options would be to either travel to the future or travel to the past.Only one thing is possible.

Personally, i would prefer to go into my past and re-live my good memories. Future is inevitable and is bound to happen but u cannot visit ur past again. What's ur opinion?
