You know where it goes?

“I came into this world, kicking and shouting, with someone else’s blood on me
and I will readily leave this world, kicking and shouting, with someone else’s blood on me.”

  • Warrior proverb

I am what I choose to be in a world of people who are what they choose to be; free will rebounding free will creating self-fulfilling fate and prophecy. Hate me and you only hate yourself, love me and you love more than yourself; hate yourself and hate me more; love yourself and find only further love for me. And, if what I choose to be is conducive to proper growth; peace, love and harmony; who should truly hate or fault me save the enemies of reality? At such a point, I become a perfect mirror for them to view their own imperfections as I slowly remove the fault from my own flesh through pain-staking dedication to be what I choose to be in a world that would readily choose for me and rob me of the choices in life that they themselves feel robbed of for not realizing the intricate balance of free-will converted to fate and fluctuating madly through chaotic and hypnotic frequencies both audible and inaudible; both auditory and not; perhaps visual or some other format entirely unmapped. And, in such a world, if I were to say that I am what I chose to be at the same time as I am what others made me, what then could they say if they could deem me less hypocritical than others in the statement of such a bound and boundless decree of self and with self-help help the self beyond the self for selfish means of others to raise high my own selfish means in living a better life in slightly more luxury than I’ve already had, and if that’s not the goal of other men and women and growing children and if it should not be admitted, then I have thus admitted it and stand alone with that as my goal regardless of others testament, for at least I would value their selfish means as much as my own, even if they could not see their own. A moralistic platitude of immoral balance kept firm by moral dominance in a mad rush for discipline and balance away from the prescribed balance and discipline; order away from order and even chaos has an order as it wars for its own right to exist within the ordered universe and what of that free will when tempered by fate and the free will of all others in existence? Ennui. A fatality of purpose for the purposelessly driven as the purposefully purposeful seek to reign it all in. It’s simply what we chose, even in the avoidance of choice, that choice is still a choice and defines the choices of others.

“The meaning of a question is the method of answering it: then what is the meaning of ‘Do two men really mean the same by the word “white”?’ Tell me how you are searching, and I will tell you what you are searching for.”

“People are deeply imbedded in philosophical, i.e., grammatical confusions. And to free them presupposes pulling them out of the immensely manifold connections they are caught up in.”

“What we are destroying is nothing but houses of cards and we are clearing up the ground of language on which they stood.”

“Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.”

It’s only talk…

“I would do anything for you. Trust me.”
“Why?”

“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.”
― Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

At least make a meme using grammar. Witt never said this shit.

HA, exactly what I thought when I read it.

what in the heck are you two going on about?

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views… which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

Zoot wrote:

Zoot From what I’ve wrote…. is incorrect

which translates I have wrote.

written is the past tense when used with I’ve ….written - I have written

wrote can be past tense without the I’ve, e.g. I wrote……

In short

I know you didn’t understand anything from what I’ve written

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin

AYE - AMEN TO THAT!!!

That also goes for every human being though of course it does stand to reason that at times we cannot create or build alone. We need the company of other people.

I see. So when I post any of those text/pics I find when googling for an appropriate picture, I need to write in bold print below: ATTENTION: THE PERSON IN THIS PICTURE MIGHT NOT HAVE SAID THAT.

Well, Zooty, if you do, in fact, have misgivings about whether or not a person did or did not write something based on your knowledge about him or her then WHY NOT do just that?
You either do that or find another picture. :evilfun:

“‘With Nietzsche, the black pirates’ flag appears for the first time on the high sea of German knowledge. (He is) a different man, from a different race, (his,) a new kind of heroism, philosophy … with bellicose weapons and armor.” -Stefan Zweig

Can’t find the full quote anywhere, I think you’d have to buy “The Struggle with the Daemon”

Arc, are you trying to tell me that nobody here is bright enough to know that Vitkenshtein wouldn’t have made that grammar error of saying ‘wrote’ instead of ‘written’? Here we are looking at a pic of one of the greatest philosophers of grammar and linguistics the world has ever known, and we wonder if he doesn’t know the difference between ‘wrote’ and ‘written’ or how to properly use the words?

Do we really have to explain to Muskin and S&M that the text on the picture probably isn’t something W wrote?

Or maybe we could even go so far as to think that W did say exactly that one time, but he meant to say ‘written’, and that it’s all good. In either case we let it slide.
