| Bio: | Even false things? Even false things are true. How can that be? I don't know, man, I didn't do it.  Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people's lives alone, not interfering with them. Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognises infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it. It is not selfish to think for oneself. A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one's neighbour that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him. A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses. stat sua cuique dies: breve et irreparabile tempus omnibus es vitae: sed famam extendere factis, hoc virtutis opus And my life, too early of course for the profound cigarette, The turned doorhandle, the knife turning in the bowels of the hours, must not be made public Until I have learnt to suffer In accurate iambics. It is a very strange feeling when one is loving a clock that is to every one of your class of living an ugly and a foolish one and one really likes such a thing and likes it very much and liking it is a serious thing, or one likes a colored handkerchief that is very gay and every one of your kind of living thinks it a very ugly or a foolish thing and thinks you like it because it is a funny thing to like it and you like it with a serious feeling, or you like eating something that is a dirty thing and no one can really like that thing or you write a book and while you write it you are ashamed for every one must think you a silly or a crazy one and yet you write it and you are ashamed, you know you will be laughed at or pitied by every one and you have a queer feeling and you are not very certain and you go on writing. Then someone says yes to it, to something you are liking, or doing or making and then never again can you have completely such a feeling of being afraid and ashamed that you had then when you were writing or liking the thing and not any one had said yes about the thing. I was so gay and mean, And I drank and chased the girls Just like young St. Augustine. Saint Augustine, He got to be a saint. So, if I get to be one, also, Please, Mama, don't you faint. Friending policy, because apparently that's what people do for fun: I friend people whose journals I want to read or who I want to allow to read my journal (a lot of it is friendslocked). If you want to read my locked posts, drop me a comment and I'll add you. If you want me to read your journal, be more interesting. | |||||
