Brian Jones said: This is my favorite philosophical cartune. Remember Lucy from the Charley Brown Gang. She always used to have a lemonade stand, but instead of lemonade she dispensed pychological advice for a fee. Now Lucy is in in England, and written on the sign on her lemonade stand is philosophical advice 5 pence. Karl Marx walks up to Lucy's booth and says: "I'm having difficulty situation my problematics with sufficient rigor. Lucy collects her 5 P. She studies the situation then tells Marx "Take an epistemological break".
Bingo.

" Once you have given up the ghost, everything follows with dead certainty, even in the midst of chaos. From the beginning it was never anything but chaos: it was a fluid which enveloped me, which I breathed in through the gills. In the substrata, where the moon shone steady and opaque, it was smooth and fecundating; above it was a jangle and a discord. In everything I quickly saw the opposite, the contradiction, and between the real and unreal the irony, the paradox. I was my own worst enemy. There was nothing I wished to do which I could just as well not do. Even as a child, when I lacked for nothing, I wanted to die: I wanted to surrender because I saw no sense in struggling. I felt that nothing would be proved, substantiated, added or subtracted by continuing an existence I had not asked for. Everybody around me was a failure, or if not a failure ridiculous. Especially the successful ones. The successful ones bored me to tears. I was sympathetic to a fault, but it was not sympathy that made me so. It was a purely negative quality, a weakness which blossomed at the mear sight of human misery. I never helped anyone expecting that it would do any good; I helped because I was helpless to do otherwise. To want to change the condition of affairs seemed futile to me; nothing would be altered, I was convinced, except by a change of heart, and who could change the hearts of men? Now and then a friend was converted: it was something to make me puke. I had no more need of God than He had of me, and if there were one, I often said to myself, I would meet him calmly and spit in his face"

"Oedipa wondered whether, at the end of this (if it were supposed to end), she too might not be left with only compiled memories of clues, announcements, intimations, but never the central truth itself, which must somehow each time be too bright for her memory to hold; which must always blaze out, destroying its own message irreversibly, leaving an overexposed blank when the ordinary world came back. In the space of a sip of dandelion wine it came to her that she would never know how many times such a seizure may already have visited, or how to grasp it should it visit again. Perhaps even in this last second -- but there was no way to tell." - Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing make you afraid. All things are passing. God alone never changes. Patience gains all things. If you have God you will want for nothing. God alone suffices.

It's easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight, and more often than not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul. Never judge, learn to respect and acknowledge the feelings of another.

Anyone reside in Northern NJ. I'm looking for some goods people with goods vibes. I'm kinda a hippie, people call me Allison Wonderland matches my initials, but nobody can really stimulate my mind here in my own community. Looking for deep connections, long friendships that last a lifetime. None of this YOLO scene that shallow kids are into. Not trying to spam anyone, just craving 90's PLUR.
