If you think about it, can you really see darkness, since darkness is the absence of light?

I've only just realized that basically none of my possessions mean anything to me. So I guess I won't be buying any of that manga I mentioned. I guess I'll just save the money instead.

There is always a little light in the darkness.

There's too much attachment.
Yes, I have to let things go.
Even some people, I need to let go.

^Me, too.

Also my tablet died when I was at my aunt's house. That's where I went.

Has anyone besides me heard of Henry Thoreau?

I'm having an inkling for torquoise nail polish.

^ wait, yes I have.

Just didn't recognise the name.

Here's some quotations from him. He was certainly a rarity among men.

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things..”

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”

“All good things are wild and free.”

“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”

“I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.”

“There is no remedy for love but to love more.”

"...The church, the state, the school, the magazine, think they are liberal and free! It is the freedom of a prison-yard.”

My goodness, true words indeed! Words cannot really convey how trapped and caged I felt in high school and university.

I also found the lyrics of "silence speaks" if you're interested.
Sorry, some explicit language.

Where is your heart?
Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders, break the walls
Together as one
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit, are we free?
Are we all alone?
If you're gonna accuse me of pouring too much salt in the wound
We have just proved that they can pollute our heads with the news
They will manipulate the masses again
If you're gonna accuse me of telling you what you already knew
It's the same song sung with a different truth
And all of us forget it cause our head's inside the noose
They will manipulate the masses again
Yeah yeah yeah we won't forget it
You better pray for absolution
You can change but you can't deny
A new wave in a terror nation
Why do we ignore the warning signs?
Board it up, the borders are shut
The blood of the innocent is under the rug
White lies in a world corrupt
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes?
War will cease when we refuse to fight
Where is your heart?
Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders, break the walls
Together as one
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit, are we free?
Are we all alone?
Are we all alone?
Hope widows, shattered windows
Restriction without effect
Dead lines in silhouettes
Why do we ignore the warning signs
Cold calls to derelict homes
Needles at the side of the road
Wires and liars like thorns that won't let go
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes?
War will cease when we refuse to fight
Tell me where is your heart?
I think the silence speaks volumes
Now we march to our own drums
They're only singing what they want to be sung
Hate's become the new anthem
How could you?
When did our veins run numb?
We treat our species like a f*****g flood
Hate's becoming our new anthem
The longer I live
I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give
And you'd do better on your own
The longer I live
I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give
And you'd do better, better on your own
Are we all alone?
Tear the borders break the walls
Take us back to when we're all
Together as one, taught to love
Born to live and let go
Tear the borders break the walls
Take us back to when we're all
Together as one, taught to love
Born to live and let go

^Wow! Very nice!


“The universe is wider than our views of it.”

No kidding.

“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.”

“Men have become the tools of their tools.”

“We are born as innocents. We are polluted by advice.”

Why do we ignore the warning signs?
