futurebird's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pain is truth A friend of mine, Tim, was addicted to cocaine. I�d ask him �How can you do such a stupid drug? I imagine the high is wonderful but when your serotonin levels get all out of whack you must fall into fits of awful depression. Why do you endure it?� He said �Susan, I used to think the way you do until I learned that pain was as much a part living as pleasure. There is as much truth in pain as anywhere. I learned to love the crash. � Is it possible to be an emotional masochist? Perhaps that would be a simple cure for the hordes of miserable people in this world. What if we could all learn to love the heart wrenching pangs of loneliness, the apathy, the sense of purposelessness? What if despair could be state of truth? What if those of us who have lingered at the world�s exit could realise that we aren't the filth and waste of humanity but it�s priests? The man who runs screaming from his own existence is I think seeing himself in a very clear and truthful way. So please don�t cry if you are broken hearted! You are enlightened. You are the witness to the true state of human pain that exists in everyone. 21:53:06 - 2000-11-12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
