Dreams

I think that people with confusing dreams are people who try to hard to deceive themselves

my dreams are straight and clear and remind me of what I lost or what I desire.

the truth

Most of you will end up in activities which involve communication. To those of you I have a second message: be wary of the truth. I’m not asking you to speak it, or write it, for there are times when it is dangerous or impossible to do those things. The truth has a great capacity to offend and injure, and you will find that the closer you are to someone, the more care you must take to disguise or even conceal the truth. Often, there is great virtue in being evasive, or equivocating. There is also great skill. Any child can blurt out the truth, without thought to the consequences. It takes great maturity to appreciate the value of silence.

In order to be wary of the truth, you must first know it. That requires great frankness to yourself. Never fool the person in the mirror.

be hated

I have told you that your life is over, that you should not work, and that you should avoid telling the truth. I now say this to you: be hated.

It’s not as easy as it sounds. Do you know anyone who hates you? Yet every great figure who has contributed to the human race has been hated, not just by one person, but often by a great many. That hatred is so strong it has caused those great figures to be shunned, abused, murdered and in one famous instance, nailed to a cross.

One does not have to be evil to be hated. In fact, it’s often the case that one is hated precisely because one is trying to do right by one’s own convictions. It is far too easy to be liked, one merely has to be accommodating and hold no strong convictions. Then one will gravitate towards the centre and settle into the average. That cannot be your role. There are a great many bad people in the world, and if you are not offending them, you must be bad yourself. Popularity is a sure sign that you are doing something wrong.

sick

so sick of saying things I don't mean
I only say it because I know it's the right thing to say
is this really the right thing to do

loner

what's wrong with me
when did I rather be alone than in a crowd
to the extent that I'd rather pretend I was on a bus than take a lift from someone
so that I could go to work alone
when did Facebook stop being my own
and become a place where I can put up a font
it's all part of a big stunt

so sick of putting up a smiley facade
so sick of always having to take the initiative to be friendly
so sick of always pretending that everything is ok
so sick of being put on a 2nd tier pedestrial
so sick of pretending that I don't understand when I do
so sick of having to keep my face neutral
so sick of being caught in the middle
tired of being jack of all trades, master of none

maybe I just need more sleep
