I demand cookies.
Maybe it's a condition, ever think of that? No, no you didn't. You never thought, "oh maybe he's sensitive about his invisible eyes." Maybe it's a skin condition.

Oh, hey, just a thought, if you're bored, I have a short story posted a little ways down in this forum called Diegesis you could take a look at if you wanted to. It's not really how I usually write prose, but I think it's... interesting, you might be able to glean some things from it others didn't, I imagine.
Also: Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers. | ||||

Ha. I except your challenge. I actually have read it (before you mentioned anything). I didn't respond because I was embarrassed at how seriously I took the satire at first. As you may have picked up on, I tend to be a bit of a... well... sap. Especially for the overly dramatized.

Well, it's also partially self-satire, keep in mind. I wouldn't be able to write like that otherwise. I'd appreciate your thoughts on it, though.

Would be my pleasure.

I believe you owe me a decent reply to one of my previous comments, thank you very much. As well as some panty shaped cookies.

Oh, that. Well, I do largely agree, I honestly feel kind of dumb for putting it the way I did, since as you say, it's rather tautological.
It *does* make me think about what it says about us as a culture (or even a species, possibly) that we gravitate towards "religion" in the institutional sense and largely flee or shun (Ireneus, I'm looking at you!) those system which lead to further self-knowledge and better understanding of the world that we perceive. Almost makes me think of Fulke Greville's "Oh, wearisome condition of humanity/born under one law, to another bound/vainly begot and yet forbidden vanity/created sick, commanded to be sound". Or, also, his lines, "To teach belief in good and still devotion/to preach of heaven's wonders and delights /yet, when each of us in his own heart looks/he finds the God there far unlike his books." Religion almost seems the business of rendering the spiritual earthly and humanized -- and often ugly. Dethroning godhead for the sort mundane minutiae that are the precise opposite of sublimity. In short: going about it entirely the wrong way, in my opinion. Dragging God down to the level of man, rather than letting man aspire to Him.

I entirely agree. A bit of a pessimistic way of looking at it, but I utterly agree. You should try cup full. It makes the days easier.

I usually do try cup full. :p
It's only when I sit down to really think about it I go all glass empty. And believe it or not, opportunities to do so outside of monologue are pretty rare. >_> Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers. | ||||

Bummer. I understand though, to an extent. Any time I speak of something someone else doesn't want to hear in my family, I'm berated with sarcasm and insults. I tend to be an optimist, but I also have a very sharp sword of a tongue, and I tend to lop heads off at stupidity.

My issue is finding people to actually discuss such things with. Normally I notice their eyes glazing over through whatever I'm saying and I just get an "uh huh. Ah. Interesting." >_<

Those looked far more like eyes glazing over in the text box than they did when I actually posted them.
But an actual response, I believe they call it connecting, and it's pretty tough to do, for anyone. Maybe it's a condition, ever think of that? No, no you didn't. You never thought, "oh maybe he's sensitive about his invisible eyes." Maybe it's a skin condition.

Don't think I ever posted this here. Had to write a sonnet and went with this as the topic for some reason...
The Archon's Shame It's also over-simplified and almost counter-purposeful to the Gnostic belief structure which favors metaphor over mythology. Oh, well. I know better now. Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers. | ||||
