Self-love, pride, Hubris detritus, we all know the descriptive no-no's for possessing a belief of higher esteem about the reality tunnel you personally inhabit. But, what if it was even partially true? According to complexity of thought - or even the depth of compassion - such may in fact exist in degrees of measurement. Not quantitatively, but for all sakes and purposes, possibly existing more so in some individuals than in others. A sword thrust into the heart of equality.
*Tisk tisk* shouts the pious crowd: "you can learn something from everyone." Nay, I'm given another trite quote you inherited? Why thank you, gents and cunts!
The desert is dry and hungry. But this desert is advanced. It doesn't even beg for rain! It just wants to see in the other desert dwellers some spark that suggests there used to be such a thing as wetness.
Sadly, all the lizards, all the cacti, and all the king's men... they just stare blank-faced and hollow, and burp another quote, again and again.

Its more than partially ture...its totally true.
Eqaulity is a man made concept.
Nature stuggles and seperates by value at every oportunity.
Some peoples reality tunnel is way better or worse than anothers...objectively.
Evolution could not occur in an equal world, and clearly it is.
Im no Nazi, but shit, your crowd sounds like a bunch off Guidence Counselours...

The Genius Of The Crowd Bukowski there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day
and the best at murder are those who preach against it and the best at hate are those who preach love and the best at war finally are those who preach peace
those who preach god, need god those who preach peace do not have peace those who preach peace do not have love
beware the preachers beware the knowers beware those who are always reading books beware those who either detest poverty or are proud of it beware those quick to praise for they need praise in return beware those who are quick to censor they are afraid of what they do not know beware those who seek constant crowds for they are nothing alone beware the average man the average woman beware their love, their love is average seeks average
but there is genius in their hatred there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you to kill anybody not wanting solitude not understanding solitude they will attempt to destroy anything that differs from their own not being able to create art they will not understand art they will consider their failure as creators only as a failure of the world not being able to love fully they will believe your love incomplete and then they will hate you and their hatred will be perfect
like a shining diamond like a knife like a mountain like a tiger like hemlock
their finest art

To be proud is to seperate the self from the whole. The only way to do this is to be given power. The things that give power can destroy the self, not always through physical death. Know the sources of your power, submit to them, listen to them, and respect them as you would respect yourself. The knowledge that there is a power greater than the self allows for humility, but gives the ability to change the physical world.

You may appreciate this piece of art (make sure to check the lyrics in the description):
-------------------- Language bearers, Photographers, Diary makers You with your memory are dead, frozen Lost in a present that never stops passing Here lives the incantation of matter A language forever.

sometimes i think like that... other times i think my dog is good. and he's just a silly animal, inferior reality tunnel (i would hope)...
imo oftentimes what we think is wrong with people or undesirable, is actually what is beautiful about them and what makes them human... and often, what we think is grand, or desirable about them, is actually what they are not and what obscures our vision of what they are
