“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
Only the really mad, like Kerouac can gain an artistic/autistic balance, said Ginsburg to Kerouac, somewhere along, would take an unnecessary but interesting search, if even it was Ginsburg saying it.
I did d scribe the much more than coincidental to happen , at least once, maybe twice, .
I tried reading it back-to-back with his previous one, which also had 600 pages, but fortunately I could jump over some of The Matter With Things, but the volume still is a challenge.
It would be a far better thing to go find the decency within yourself and then act according to what that tells you. Can you control anything other than that?

He understood nothing.
Why am I obliged to adhere to his ethical standards which he cannot follow himself?
What a hypocrite!!

I am more aligned with his ethics than he is, because I’ve never exploited dumb, vulnerable, addicted, whores…nor sought self-esteeem in doing so, nor have I ever claimed to be an advanced philosopher who cannot validate himself using commonplace insights that even the mediocre laymen can appreciate.
How many adolescent excuses does it take for imbeciles to realize what is going on?
The name - the real name, rather than the crypto-name - …and the visage, that identifying mug - he routinely plastered all over this forum - is all you need in order to understand who and what this is.
But why waste our time on this transparent fool when a wayward son has returned to the fold, from the near-east?
How long before he graces us with his wagalonga, buz, gong, shimying-flip flopisms?

they should put your pic next to the entry for aggrieved in the dictionary. youve just been mad at so many things for so long and i am legitimately sorry that you have for whatever reason had to go through so much of your life that way.

…confesses, brags, and then denies… yes, something is definitely going on.
When One loses all respect for [the obtuse] posters on here, and refrains from all discourse and interaction with They, why don’t they take the MASSIVE hint… and refrain back, in kind.
Lack of self-respect and respect in general, I suppose…
