Discourse 8: The Real World...continued
29.) Embracing semantics is the best thing you can do. Then you can hear between the lines of what others say and find concert with others where previously there was none.

30.) The war is over the moment you stop fighting.

31.) Not even uncertainty is certain

32.) There is no firm proof for anything so believe what you want and stay away from scientists!

33.) Love is not sex, or romance, if it was there would be more happy and successful romances out there.

34.) The best way need not involve sacrifice, there is always a way to have your cake and eat it to.

35.) The hero's job can end. The war does not rage forever.

36) This work is always unfinished.

37.) It's OK to have an opinion.

38.) Sacrilege is not a crime.

39.) People may hurt you, just because they can. Because they find it fun or amusing. But where does your hurt come from? The answer to this question reveals the way you treat the world. Either as something which must be a certain way, or something which can be any damn way it likes!

Life isn't a movie... so why pretend that it is? Why act like the universe is cosmic? It isn't but people are... We give form and shape and substance to all of these feelings and ideas, then we proceed to let them rule us. The switch that says: "ORDINARY LIFE/EXTRAORDINARY LIFE" lives in your mind, maybe you've heard of it? It's a gland that starts with a "p" and has a small temple inside of it.
The extraordinary thing is that we make heroes, villains, tyrants, and champions. Without the window of human experience to color it, it is nothing more than exceptionally intelligent animals in a complex tribal relationship. you don't have to have the ability to bend and warp reality, or a perfect girlfriend, That's the story talking. The wise are born all over the place with all sorts of problems and abilities, Buddha was the son of a king, and Einstein was the son of a farmer. when you wake up in the morning, suddenly the window of your experience is draped across the landscape, giving an uncommon form and property to everything in the world the eyes you use are magical, because they create magic and reality and physical worlds and heavens and hells. But how often do you feel that?

Livid these things can be taken in 2 ways, they can be insights that cripple, or words that free you, let you know that you are a human. Words that say, The discontinuity between you and your world lies in your demands. If you demand one thing and get another you feel wronged. If you ask for one thing and get another, you know that the answer was "no", not, "fuck you hippie!"

PS

40.) You can try, you can struggle, you can dream, and hope, and pray, you can give your all, want it more than anyone else and still get nothing.
Or you can do your part, to the best of your ability and only worry about the rewards and benefits when they arrive.
