.          Sometimes I think I would take my conciense to the dry cleaner, the problem would be that the whole point would be missed with the starch they sometimes put in it          . Religion is only a problem because it is a bunch of people who ahave different intentions, different stories, different ideas, and yet insist they all believe in the same thing .  An open book you say? The girl who's more public than the yellow pages?        .  The way into the illumination might be wrong, but history has led us to guess it might be right, to first start with the categorical empiric, having a period os stoicism untill you find the idea absurd, then be a rebel and an anarchist until you realize how the world really works, then become a cynical existencialist, then do that minus the existencialist; by this time you should be half way there, just to find that each step is useful and needs a balance, now you only need to get them all together and not loose your mind . I used to believe in the capacity of people to be equal, to trasend and to find the common ground, then I had an epiphany, nobody is the same . I also used to believe in the growth of poor countries and social rights for all, then I studied the poor countries, which apparently have more to do with a well geared machinery and ideology than just the will of doing something . Poetry is the freedom of expression, while narrative is the freedom of style; at the end of story, people don't care about your expressions . Myths about Yaveh, Zeus, Nidhog, Bastet, and Quetzalcoatl sound all the same to me, ways to bring an ethical reflexion into the world, saddly they've done the complete opposite .  Genetical engineering is misunderstood as most sciences, people think that just because one single book can't explain it, it must be evil . Barbarianism could be considered to enclose women in thick black clothes and take them as inferior, or it could also be taken as selling your population like pigs to the wealthiest bidder, and then say it is democracy . Soul, spirit, magic and mind, they're as real as their effect, which is as concrete as one wishes to believe . Masks are for me to wear and for you to see, but for who are they to find what lies beneath?
