Random thoughts, from a random mind – mine. I’m fairly confident my viewpoint differs from that of the majority.

    The only thing I know of time, is when it’s passed, it’s done, so pass time the way you will, yet know too for no one does time stand still.

    Two worlds exist within in a single place, in the one you stumble on, alone,

    in the other, those who love you hold your unwilling hands and for your failings never demand that you atone.

    Blame: Something we are more willing to offer than to receive.

    Sometimes the best questions are not really questions at all.

    Inconsistency is very much like incontinence, no one wants either.

    Enough with tidbits of philosophy, get an entire book of it instead… http://bit.ly/CGAxPr2 {but only once you’ve got the first…}

    Though I don’t write to you often, I think of you always. For those in my life who matter, I hope you know who you are, yet fear you don’t.

    Are eyes merely eyes? Nay say I, for there are those we use to see, and then there are those of thee, which are to be seen.

    When your fluid tongue snags on a rhyme, and you like it. #that

    If truth were a layer, where would it lie?

    Though I don’t believe in god, I do believe in Soul.

    As with words, within pictures do other truths reside.

    Let me count the ways I love your eyes, or let me not, for numbers cannot climb such heights of bliss.

    Corporation: An entity of man, unbound by the morals of its creators.

    Under #Capitalism, when the rich get richer, the poor get richer. Who the hell wants THAT? Sheesh. #tcot
    my response to the above tweet
    @bookforge1 If this was so, then why does the monetary divide between rich and poor continue growing? Simple answer – it is not so.

    Stating an opinion, as though it were a fact. #that

    My truths, in my words, your truths may vary, and that’s OK, for the only truth I’ve learned of truth, is that truth is never absolute.

    … Not only have I never read Marx, I probably never will. I don’t need others to tell me wrong. …

    Are errors made with intent, the mistakes they purport to be?

    Intent, so difficult to convey, with only words for content. {I need to see their eyes, to see their eyes betray their lies.}

    Do negative souls attract positive thoughts, or do they discharge them? #iam

    The thing about the best anti-virus software, is that when it fails it’s as worthless as the worst.

    Generosity, an open oasis in a barren land.

    Words are just words, right? Wrong. Words form the foundations of change, so forge them strong, and make them mean.

    Mean: As easy to misuse as any other.

    I’ve tried to wrap my mind around people embracing an exception for [a]immoral behavior. I just can’t seem to do it.

    No matter what does the deed, government, entity, animal or man, wrong remains wrong.

    Some rules deserve to be broken, grammar is not one of them.

    I strive to bury meaning, right where anyone can see. @MirandaRush69 This reviewer, “gets it” – http://bit.ly/CGAxPr2 seems few do :(.

    Shallow: To bury deep meaning, or bury meaning deep. If gems are never uncovered are they even gems, at all.

    Are the most terrible the deeds we do, those that place the intangible at risk.

    Those who frame their desires, as other peoples’ needs.

    I’m a crastinator, and apparently my wife thinks I’m so good I should go pro.

    Political Correctness: aka Conversational Cowardice.

    I’ll try and cast the Syria debacle in a positive light. “War weariness” isn’t the reason for our reluctance to attack, moral resurgence is.

    There is never a “right” reason for wrong. … War is morally wrong. Period

    War: A path of destruction from which only the unscrupulous prosper.

    I once said that the only justification for war is to combat monstrous evil. Problem is that the evil we are shown, is often itself a lie.

    A message from my long-lost sister included this gem, “Atheism is a non-prophet organization.”

    “…but the story of Malmaxa is not just about those interactions; it’s a story of everyone.” A book, of my truths. http://bit.ly/CGAxPr2

    My #FF? every tweeter, everywhere. But that’d be wrong, so instead a poem about friends, and wrong… http://bit.ly/CGApFrn

    Does hunger define art, or are artists defined by their hungers?

    Hunger: OK when it’s a rest stop, not when it’s a destination.

    Beauty lies in the memories we behold.

    Every time we fall, we bleed, and every time we rise, we heal. Our scars, are who we are, are un-scarred souls even souls, at all.

    Sometimes standing back up is the most difficult thing we can imagine. Though falling is easy, it is the source of our pain.

    What is humanity? Certainly not wealth, nor poverty, though some may think it so. Empathy? Granting opportunity, for others to simply be.

    Regret: More the words we left unsaid, than the deeds we did, yet never should have done.

    How can you have friends you’ll never see, I don’t know, but I do.

    Respect: Give it in hope you need never take it away.

    When the caveats are longer than the claim… That.

    If they don’t believe they’re broken, who are we to fix them?

    To impose their will on the unwilling is the self-granted right of tyrants.

    A leader walks ahead of people, who are willing to follow.

    I’m listening to my daughter listening to a recording of “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga – played as a violin solo. It is beautiful.

    The eaves we drop, on the songs others sing, these are the simple things, were true beauty dwells.

    Enough of the distressing thoughts of war, who has time for a short, free fairy tale? http://bit.ly/CGAsACT

    Were I to have a single wish, this is what it’d be, to leave my dreams alone, for they are where I’m free.

    Might the cruelest people be the slayers of other people’s dreams.

    I’ve searched my timeline, and yours too, found some inspiration, I’ll take it as your unspoken messages, to me.

    Love is not a vessel that contains, it’s an endless pool in which its swimmers only gain.

    Truths: The most profound are simple, the most convoluted, lies.

    To overcome dogma, we have to think free, yet that is something dogma never lets us be.

    Friday is a good day, for it heralds two better days ahead. #FF to all, friends and contraries, both. http://bit.ly/CGApFrn

    27 years ago today, my 2nd eldest brother passed away, yet in my heart does he still live, and to me still, so much does give. ~ to Chris.

    Those days that we forget might be days without pain, but in pain’s stead, stands shame.

    Though you can’t describe color to the blind, or music, to the deaf, they can comprehend, yet what of love, to the heartless?

    Social media brings a new set of misunderstandings, especially emotion and intent.

    Typos: Wreakers of havoc, gremlins of twitter, breakers of virtual friendships. {also, some of the funniest stuff we ever see}

    Contemplating war to “send a signal to rogue nations” is misguided. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/ap-survey-house-shows-opposition-syria-attack … Rogue nations don’t listen, and war isn’t REASON.

    Eyes, to see what can’t be seen, ears, to hear unspoken thoughts, these are a soul’s lack, and its desire, too.

    Some viewpoints oppose mine, some are abhorrent, but the one I like the least of all is the one that goes unspoken.

    Patience: Still smiling as you say the twentieth “No” to your child’s plea, “Are we there yet?”

    Freedom of speech should be free – as in you don’t need to “donate” $117k (or more) to get it. https://represent.us/action/citizens-united-2/ …

    Once relinquished, rights are seldom returned.

    Do draining days lead to dreaming nights, or simply to slumber?

    If you ever find yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t even think that!” Do. It might be your mind’s attempt to free you from dogma.

    Dogma: If a word can be a source of evil, this is such a word.

    We don’t populate dogma with our thoughts, it is dogma that pollutes our minds and stifles ours.

    True art: Another thing we recognize more easily, when it is not, than when it is, yet when it is, we know.

    When truths are so complex even their author doesn’t understand them, how can they be truths at all?

    Spontaneity: better in thought, than in deed.

    Where might journeys undertaken alone lead, with luck, to the dwellings of the divine. {or to here, @CarolTurner5 for words sublime.}

    A startling prediction, and the interesting part? It’s probably about YOU… http://bit.ly/CGApWWE {Sadly, it requires reading.}

    To be kind, or to be true, why pick, when both you can do.

    The intellectually irrelevant, are relevant, for is not a fool as human as the wisest savant?

    Family: Those who mean the most, yet on whom we expend the least.

    Our most exceptional friends are those for whom we need never make exceptions.

    Every thinking person is forever a student, once we stop learning, we stop thinking.

    Ever heard of slavery? How strange you should think it’s from the past, when in truth, it is everywhere, and yes, that is the where, we are.

    The world is one, and we are the world – there is no “us and them”, there is only we.

    Fabricated truths, assembled from a field of broken dreams and lies…

    A partial truth, is also a partial lie.

    The truth is nothing but what we think we see.

    Tokens, the currency of friends.

    May our dreaming nights be long, and our dreary workdays short.

    Would attacking #Syria be an act of humanitarian leadership, or evidence of US interference and aggression?

    Though there are reasons for doing wrong, they are never right.

    Water, water everywhere, yet only bottles we’ll drink. http://bit.ly/CGApWWE a blog post.

    Which voice is that of Reason? Naturally, I have my own view, I hope you do too. http://bit.ly/CGApGC
