    Hate is within the hater. It distorts who he is and also stays within him. The person that he hates sometimes doesn't even know about it. Hating someone is the equivalent of drinking poison and hoping that the person who he hates will die. I choose not to hate so that I don't become the person that applied hate to me.

    Fernando Pessoa
    ~~~~~~~~~~

    "I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided"


    "I don’t know how many souls I have.
    I’ve changed at every moment.
    I always feel like a stranger.
    I’ve never seen or found myself.
    From being so much, I have only soul.
    A man who has soul has no calm.
    A man who sees is just what he sees.
    A man who feels is not who he is.

    Attentive to what I am and see,
    I become them and stop being I.
    Each of my dreams and each desire
    Belongs to whoever had it, not me.
    I am my own landscape,
    I watch myself journey -
    Various, mobile, and alone.
    Here where I am I can’t feel myself.

    That’s why I read, as a stranger,
    My being as if it were pages.
    Not knowing what will come
    And forgetting what has passed,
    I note in the margin of my reading
    What I thought I felt.
    Rereading, I wonder: “Was that me?”
    God knows, because he wrote it."

    The so called Turing test is based on that.

    I used to do (mainly romance poetry freelance) when I played game of war. I made this out of nowhere for this topic just for you guys Feel free to hate, or call BS don't really care ahah

    I sit at my computer day and night
    Going through multiple websites
    90% being RSPS of the kind
    Seems like a real boring lifestyle am i right?
    When I should really be going through job board all of these fortnights.
    I sigh, bored, and go back to advertise to try to find
    a server to keep me entertained and bring back that flicker of hope's light.

    I may not be the smartest
    And heaven forbid I never claimed to be a professional when it comes to java
    but it makes me wonder even with money as the goal why people don't try their hardest
    to design something that can keep people fully inclined now dam its New Years where did I leave that vodka?
    Spoiler for sig too large:

    You can't break a man the way you break a dog or a horse. The harder you beat a man, the taller he stands. To break a man's will, to break his spirit; you have to break his mind. Men have this idea that we can fight with dignity, that it's the proper way to kill someone; it's absurd, it's unaesthetic. We needed to endure the bloody horror of murder. You must destroy that idea. Show them what a messy, terrible thing it is to kill a man and then show them that you relish in it. Shoot to wounded, then execute the wounded; burn them. Take them in close combat, destroy their preconceptions of what a man is, and you become their personal monster. When they fear you... you become stronger, you become better. But let's never forget, it's a display. It's a posture, like a lion's roar or a gorilla thumping at his chest. If you lose yourself with display, if you succumb to the horror then you become the monster. You become reduced. To not more than a man, but less; and it can be fatal.

    If you’re still feeling dead, join me? I feel so dead that it is a wonder I am still breathing. I cannot stand much more of myself; or of my house. I want to scream, do murder, flee.
    — Martha Gellhorn, from a letter to Leonard Bernstein featured in Selected Letters

    There may never be nothing more / But this feeling, and then nothing…
    — Alice Notley, from In The Pines; “Meeting House Lane,”

    I wish you could live in my brain for a week, it’s washed with the most violent waves of emotion.
    — Virgina Woolf

    …meaning has dried like blood.
    I was supposed to be having the time of my life.

    — Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

    The future influences the present just as much as the past. Friedrich Nietzsche.

    People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is what what they do does. Michel Foucalt.

    The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. Karl Marx.
