"When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind,
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you and looks like me,
And yet somehow he will not feel the same,
His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me,
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see."

An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies & ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy & truth." The boy thought about it, and asked "Grandfather, which wolf wins?" The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."

"The world is a dangerous place to live;
not because of the people who are evil,
but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

"Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politics?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it BECAUSE it is right."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Rise like lions after slumber

Narcissistic, overzealous, self-righteous egomaniac.

Also single-minded but prone to obsessive compulsiveness workaholism, anti-socialism...
Fertile fields for the descent into total wacko breakdown.

A lonely human being chasing paramasturbatory illusions that I believe will give my life meaning and significance and which my pathetic social maladjustment makes impossible for me to find elsewhere.

Also considers self to be passionate, serious, and misunderstood.
