In a world of reactionary principles if one would learn how to live one must learn first how to die. To know a thing, understand its opposite. Men seek to know themselves by attaching themselves to women – and vice-versa – the polarity dance... Busy are we rushing through life: who has time to ponder such a dark concept as death? Why should one waste time deliberating the many ways to die? But this is not about dying – but learning how to die in order to live! Those who have learned how to die no longer need to die! Now some may ask: “How do I learn how to die?” So simple: It’s but a matter of living at odds with everything offered by the System. What it calls good - turn from. What it sells, refuse to buy. What it insists is truth, know for a lie. Have, but don’t own – Laugh with, but never at – Make love - yes, as much as you can and as much as you dare – but don’t fall in love. Know that beauty, once purchased becomes nothing more than pretty and eventually, just pretty cheap. Simply live each day convinced it’s the Last Day. |
