i sometime have these kind of thoughts which would very well suit in the random insanity thread but at the same time it has something poetic or philosophic tendency, maybe you have this too? and could we share it ?



things that take shape when they are happening
things whose creation is already mental before they are happening
things being re-shaped/modified during or after creation
things re-created after a model already created with/without un/deliberate modifications

with a un/conscious observaton with/without reference(s)

It has too many choices to be a philosophy. A philosophy would cause you to ask yourself a question, or explain some point in life thatone would ask a question about.

On the other hand, while it can be seen as somewhat poetic, it isn't concrete enough to have true poetic value. It doesn't flow well enough.

So, in the end, I suppose it's randomness. Used correctly, these thoughts could develop into poetry or philosophy, but you would need to focus on them, refine them, and gain an understanding of them.

i didn't mean it as a question, i meant to evoke somewhat similar little texts, which could not be posted in a poem-or a serious thread. and which are not silly enough to be in the 'anything anything' thread. (and i didn't say it was a real poem/philosophy or so, only that it had a little poetic/philosophic touch)

My apologies, I did not mean to offend. So then, let me try to make up for it.

What is life without love?
What is love without happiness?
What is happiness without hope?
What are hopes without dreams?
What are dreams without thought?
What is thought without existence?
We love because we are, and make ourselves in turn. Life is an eternal lesson, but no one stays long enough to find out what it is.

It seems very random to me.
