1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 62: The Beast Within (Poem).

We look to the West as well as to the East, but like that line in Hotel California, we just can't find or kill the beast.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 60: Look For the Answer Within Yourself.

Sometimes it feels like nothing makes sense. Sometimes we feel tired, or angry, and we don't know why, we just feel like something's wrong, and we wish we could find out exactly what the problem is.

We … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 54: Remaining Present While Understanding We Are Beyond Life. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 48: Nothing Will Change By Wishing.

Heaven and hell, some believe are states of mind, that we can reach at any time. Some say we will reach them after we've finally left this world behind.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 46: Renunciation, Annihilation of the Will.

The whole human race, ashamed, afraid to look at each other's face. Living to cause death, only killing time and taking up space. Some of us wish that we could disappear from the life we know, without a trace. We're ready to throw the towel in, what a disgrace. We must use the past as … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 46: Renunciation, Annihilation of the Will. →

Philosophy is great, but it can be dangerous. Everything is usually great and has the potential to be dangerous if used in the wrong ways, or by the wrong people at the wrong time.
