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

    Wishing, that dreams never do come true.

    yet also wishing, that dreams do…

    Sun-struck angels fly to earth, on wings of cooling breeze, tempering the fired hearts, of all who them do see.

    Let us not add history to the casualties of commerce. If some things are done at all, let them be done with due care. http://www.mining.com/archeologists-could-be-final-nail-in-rosia-montana-coffin-45204/ …

    What I do, it ain’t for you, or you, or even …you, but for those of literary bent, my twisted words, they just might do. #PitchWars

    The only thing that is truly unconditional, is surrender.

    Don’t allow yourself to be enslaved by success, success will never love you as you love success.

    In war there are no winners, only different degrees of loss.

    Most soldiers serve with honor, the politicians bear the blame, yet onto the shoulders of the warriors, do the politicians cast the shame.

    Rather than mourn Nelson Mandela let us celebrate his life and never forget him, for he is proof that great people still walk the earth.

    Western civilization is a culture of conquer, and claim, everywhere it rides is thunder and acid rain, theft, without conscience, or shame.

    If you dream of cash, you’ve set your sights too low, if your goal is power, you still have far to go.

    ~ Of Eros, and Arete ~ http://bit.ly/CGApEaA {a short poem, though far too long for twitter.}

    Simply because creatures inconvenience man is not justification for their extermination.

    Extinct: Fatal finality. It is hard to get more final, than this.

    No links clicked, and nothing lost. To the TrueTwit authors I’ve inconvenienced by following, my apologies – I’ll unfollow you soon enough.

    Family are not as friends, in many things they should be more, yet in others they are somehow… less.

    Few humans are blessed with greatness, indeed few enough of us even coexist in time with true statesmen. #RIP

    Would that my words were my hands.

    Don’t fear me, fear my dreams.

    Perspective: It grants a mind unease, a heart distress, yet to a troubled soul it delivers understanding.

    My youngest asked me, “If you could do a single thing for the world, what would it be?” My answer took only a moment, “Eliminate humanity.”

    Then she asked, “And if you could do a single thing for humanity, what would it be?” A longer moment, “Eliminate money in all its forms.”

    Money is an artificial construct of no value, its purpose is control, not convenience.

    Nothing replaces human interaction, nothing.

    unnoticed, if she covers her face with a veil…

    Hate what humanity does, not humanity itself.

    And sometimes you must free yourself of life-as-it-is, and dream of life-as-it-could-be

    I miss the people, more than I miss the places.

    Yesterday I drove, and listening to an exceptional audio book titled “Black Elk Speaks”. What have we done? My next tweet speaks my mind.

    The problem with promises is how easily they are broken. When someone is on top, that is where they *want* to stay.

    Injustice: When our wants are more, those of everyone else are made less.

    When is being on the right side, wrong? When you’re a pedestrian in the USA.

    The religious thing all non-religious are immoral, the atheists thing all non-atheists are idiots, I guess that makes me an immoral idiot.

    Anything worth having is worth holding, anyone too.

    That which blurs the line between want and need that most evil thing, is greed.

    The characteristic our children of which I am most proud is that each of them challenge us. Sheep, you won’t find them here

    I don’t think I have ever advocated a right to life, except perhaps for species mankind is about to obliterate.

    I do however believe every human deserves the opportunity to start playing the “game” of life on equal terms.

    How fast, and how far we run, matters not so much as that we all start at sound of one starter’s gun.

    We all think we have it tough, truth is that there are so many who have it tougher.

    Is anything worth doing ever easy? Yes. hug your kids, kiss your wife, husband, or partner, as for the rest, if it really matters.

    The problem is not those who care, it is those who don’t.

    Humanity: The only known ecosystem where parasites occupy the peak of the pyramid.

    Without people, corporations can’t function, yet people function perfectly well without corporations.

    The root of all evil isn’t money, it is greed.

    If money is crystallized greed, political power is meth-amphetamine, and corporations like Monsanto are its makers

    My eldest asked me, “Justify why do you think things *should* be fair?” “Because we’re social animals, when one eats more, others starve.”

    What purpose, conscience?

    It troubles me how I can’t give back the excess I’ve consumed, because there is no longer an excess to give back.

    A friendship without trust might be better termed a mutual-use association.

    The past: to be treasured, or to be forgotten. The only one that should choose, is you.

    I don’t like bragging, but I do… My daughter Julia made us the best apple pie I have ever tasted. Ever. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Which is better, the hard truth, or the easy lie, a joyful dream, or a miserable life, peaceful poverty, or strife.

    Ignorance might be bliss, but only for the ignorant, for the rest, is it pain, you see the ignorant seldom change.

    The next time someone asserts, “You can have it all!” ask , “And what will that leave you?”

    We inhabit a world of plenty, capable of granting every inhabitant a good life, yet… billionaires, and slaves, obesity, and malnutrition.

    When I was young I hated being compelled to eat all my food because “there are hungry people somewhere.” 50 years later, I finally get it.

    As a man I wanted you to know that what matters most to me is what lies within your chest, not atop it.

    A big heart, better than any breasts.

    All Snowflakes have six elements. In Malmaxa, six is the Number of the Gods. http://bit.ly/CGAmb1s

    Perhaps dreams are the reality, and this life we think so real is merely their nightmare.

    Societal lies: those things we’re so constantly told we should be that we start to accept them as truths.

    Though a truth be repeated a thousand times, it is no more true on the thousandth than it was on first utterance.

    A lie remains a lie, no matter how often it is asserted as truth.

    The person a liar has the most difficulty convincing is themself.

    It is easier to believe the lies another tells, than it is your own.

    Even viruses may dream, but machines? I think not, for were there space ‘tween 0 and 1, binary would die and ternary, be born.

    The size of breast that is the best, is the size you have upon your chest.

    In matters of social interaction our mind trails far behind our heart.

    Though I am still looking, I still don’t know what I am, perhaps one day I’ll find out.

    Listen to your heart for your head to often trails far behind.

    In our own way each of us is an addict, some to substance, some to love, some to power. All we need ask is, “Do we want to stop?”

    When you think you’re at the end, what you do, is start again.

    Such positive ways to see such negative things.

    Ignoring instinct is a talent we shouldn’t pass along.

    “Experience comes in two flavors, one year, repeated multiple times, or multiple years, unrepeated.” – unknown.

    For fantasy to be fantastic it has to be believable, I need to see people I know, both good and bad, in the characters.

    Between the lines… this is where our dreams reside.

    Possessions whose only purpose is to be possessed. #why

    When wisdom seems to lie in shallow, stagnant pools, only fools, will drink.

    If I could offer another a single thing, it would be dignity.

    Life, for love, yes, for commerce, no.

    I just overheard my wife saying, “Charles had an embolism.” I’m pretty sure she just called me a clot!

    To everyone who thinks they aren’t beautiful, you are, your modesty holds far greater attraction than arrogance ever will.

    What a sorry, sad little world this would be, if everyone were the same as me. {Who we are is defined by our differences.}

    Those who never question, have no hope of learning, sadly, they’ll never know.

    For every Absolute, there is an Exception.

    It does, for our deeds determine something – whether we are remembered, with love, or whether we are forgotten, with joy.

    What can we do, but try?

    When credit is due, give it, and when it is due you, take it with humble hands and a thankful heart.

    To relinquish hope is to relinquish life.

    Who we really are is far too precious a picture to let someone else paint.

    A life without pain would be a life without pleasure.

    A soul touch is a gentle caress, more tender than any physical kiss.

    For two souls to touch must the bodies too, I think not, least with me and you.

    Where will the kind forever dwell, in our hearts, not in our hells,

    and what of the greedy, and the cruel, dispersed into soon forgotten dust, if our universe proves just.

    in a likely vain hope, of universal justice… https://cgayling.com/malmaxa/2013/11/of-heaven-and-hell/ …
