You are the King

War... takes on many forms. Simply deciding to do instead of to think and be victim of your thoughts is a war. simply breathing is a tug of war between the in and the out. atoms spin with the opposing electrons and protons around the neucleus, in a lightspeed dance.... the nature of a dance itself involves war between gravity and grace. balance requires opposition.

Happiness requires sadness. The only cure for suffering is understanding of sadness. I fear that supressing the negativity in the world will only lead to greater forms of perversion. Like the subconscious mind, the effect is so gradual and widespread that it comes about unnoticed, until we're wrapped up in a tangled web of confusion... obviously struggling to figure out how we got there in the first place.

The key is to accept. not just to be a victim and roll over. but to accept the deepest dwelling horrors as you would any other pattern of existence.

Happiness addiction paves the way for corporate genocide.

We would never make art if we didn't yearn, suffer, cry, bleed, for something more... we wage war against mediocrity and stagnation and we sheed ourselves painfully in the ceaseless process.
