The above quotation has stayed with me day and night, ringing loud and clear in my brain 24/7 because it is good and true, crystal clear and concise. It is a beautiful illustration of the effective use of language to describe realities and awareness.
Several Monkeys I know will never be able to recognize themselves in those words. They don't know they have psychosis. They are not smart and strong enough. They are too busy to protect their fragile ego instead of looking for realities. They don't want to look for realities because they cannot handle realities. They are not strong enough. They dare not look into the abyss of their soul. So they look away and in the process and in time have acquired a strange notion that they are okay, even "good" and "normal" and "happy" simply because they live a life of that of barnyard animals. They cannot live a life of true humans. It's too hard for them. They don't have the will-power and the desire to do so. And yet they jump up and down like stupid epileptics whenever I remind them that they are horribly mediocre and absolute nobodies, consuming resources on this planet and contributing nothing positive to the genetic pool. I laugh and chuckle and snort whenever I see them open their mouths and opine. Stupid and ignorant monkeys say stupid and ignorant things. They rely on trite and platitudinous sayings and expressions to make their points. They seize on simple facts without knowing what they think as facts have shifting properties and limited shelf life. They are not smart enough. I know. They used to come to me for info and opinion so they could navigate through the maze of the world, so they could make sense of what was going on in the world. One was so stupid to think that the Americans would not elect Obama because he was black. Well, the Americans, including myself, did. Twice.
Unlike them, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein and I are students of the human mind, of realities, and of language as a tool to convey realities.
