3. Nothing in this material world is pure or infinite |
|
everything is a mixture, and everything is finite. My mind is a product and part of the material creation, so my thoughts cannot be pure, infinite or absolute either.
This is not to say there is no infinite absolute, just that I cannot touch it as I am.
:hi: CG! :)

4. When I was much younger |
|
I thought that opinions or beliefs that weren't absolute were weak. As if I was too unsure of myself to be decided. Now that I'm older, I look back at that and laugh. I have very VERY strong opinions and beliefs, however even very simplistically, those can change based purely on circumstance. Sure, I believe that women should have the right to an abortion. Now, if it was abortion without any restraints or limitations? That would change. And even things I think I'll never change on, well, you never know. I think opinions and ideas have MORE force when they're a little more open, less cut and dried. I think it shows true thoughtfulness and contemplation of an idea, rather than putting on a garment of radicalness/conservatism/pro choice/etc.
:hi: :) :)

Favorite of rag tag militias throughout While so near to the former 'stan lands' of Russia. Short. Sweet. And very to the: point. Or is it the head. Pumped &: Purple-Ish. The seminal C4 flows of a Milk Maid's Cum. Weaving the tapestry. Smashing these pretty tiles. Into tinsy pieces that we will lay into the Moorish tabletops Of our living rooms: to come. There we will chop our lines, Roll our dope & dream about forever. If indeed forever ever comes.
