"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand."
Do not revere the man who ponders. For all his scrutiny and brooding yields less rationality than the aggregate erosion of the continents by orbital whiplash - namely, none at all.
Do not denigrate the man who muses. For from his unflagging futility he forcibly extracts the incorporeal, spiritual nourishment of man.
Thus arrives the inquiry: Is it possibly to satisfy simultaneously our physical deprivations and spiritual desires? Is asceticism (denial of bodily cravings) the sole path towards spiritual enlightenment? What constitutes "spiritual enlightenment"? Is it not a relative term?
Furthermore, who is to judge reality from fantasy? Can lies become truth and truth, lies? Questions lead to more questions - a truly vicious circle. Desperately striving for comprehension, we inevitably sink farther into the quicksands of chaos.
Man was blessed with conscience and rationality; but upon realization, it may have been for naught. For cursed be those who understand.

Truth and lie.... well i dont know if what im saying is on the same topic. But in today's post modern culture tells us, There is no absolute truth. Believe what you want to believe. we're all right...bullshit.
“If a man says of what is that it is, or if he says of what is not that it is not, then he speaks the truth; but if a man says of what is that it is not, or if he says of what is not that it is, then he does not speak the truth.”
continuously satisfying our physical desires becomes an endless cycle, and what does it do for us in the end? depravity. we're all depraved in the end, so rather than clinging to finite things, we should seek that which is lasting.
Of course, as i type this, i'm rather hungover...lmao
