It has been the misfortune (not, as these gentlemen think it, the glory) of this age that everything is to be discussed. Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France.

I got a pretty nasty virus Saturday evening - probably the one you have KDT - and I threw up all night long, slept alone and miserable, had stupid 1850s antebellum American Senate dreams: "I say, Mishtuh Congressman, my constituency will stand for these here foibles, nor will I allow myself to transgress the oath that I took as representative..." I watched movies all day Sunday. Stupid meaningless movies. I had to recuperate. Then my girlfriend got sick on Monday, so I tended to her. Now everyone's back to health and I don't care about anything anymore, porn has even lost appeal. **** the world. **** you, ****me, **** it. We're all gonna be just dirt in the ground.
Awww, sorry to hear about your illness. Good to hear you're giving up on self. Since these things only have the significance and meaning we assign to them, consider regarding your illness as purification. . .
here's a beautiful medicine buddha chant for you as you recover

In your next life, Epistemes, will you have the same medulla oblongata?Epistemes wrote:It's my medulla oblongata.Virgo wrote: Which piece of you is the essential part? Where is your essential being? Is it your hair, your nails, skin, teeth? Your feelings? If so is it anger, happiness? Aren't feelings always changing? So where is this essential being?

Re: I give up
In times of confusion some thoughts are orbiting the other thoughts "I" and "mine". That's "natural".Epistemes wrote:I don't give up ... I give up ... I don't know ... I just do.
I got ... and I threw up ... I watched ... I had to ... I tended ... I don't care ...
Which has to be faced and dealt with individually. The thought "we" doesn't change this althought sometimes it may help to extend the narrow confines caused by the thoughts "I" and "mine".Epistemes wrote:We're all gonna be just dirt in the ground.
