Yesterday's quote ...

''Man should never stand in need of man

when it comes to freewill but the need to be man.'' 

... but I had a long rethink on it ... well not that long ... 

and decided it needs a re-write because gendered pronouns generally are an ideal subject for raising consciousness,  

as it did for me, so I am re-writing my quote as ... 

''Human beings should never stand in need of 

human beings when it comes to freewill 
but the need to be a human being.'' 

 

''Man should never stand in need of man

when it comes to freewill but the need to be man.''

by doing so I will have created something that 

somebody else will recognize as being part of themselves.''

''It's pointless in wasting time worrying about what other people think of you, don't ..... 

if you only knew how rarely people think of you.'' 

''The majority of people irrelevant of their religious beliefs are under the Delusion that their Destiny is caused by a 'God' or a higher 'energy' ... I believe that destiny is caused by events in life that have a domino effect that is not in your control all 
the time and starting off by the country and who you are 
born too, because you are who you are by these circumstances though we have freewill it is not always put into play because of 'guilt and loyalty' and most people will go through their life accepting their destiny as 'what God intended' for them and though I have cancer I don't believe I have it because of destiny.

I believe it's because of my make-up of DNA that I carried 

into my life/events which cause other events to come into 

play that all go into my own Delusion.''

''This time of the year, December, through out my whole life including when I was a child has always been an embarrassment for me because it is taken for granted by the fact of the colour of my skin where I was born and my culture by all who see or meet me that I also believe in the story of a male child born to a virgin in what has always through out history being the most troubled part 

of the world, came here to earth to save mankind from himself and that, somehow along the way a fat guy dressed in red with a white beard winning over innocent children to sit on his knee by giving out gifts, of-course with smiling parents approval .. suspicious .. 

and that can fly across the sky with reindeers pulling a sledge 

with more gifts for children all over the world asleep in their beds,   {also suspicious} in this one magic night .. and three 'wise guys' on camels somewhere in a desert and also bearing gifts to witness this wonderful event in the history of mankind that will live on and be retold to generation after generation, but only for those who believe in the 'baby-born-of-a-virgin' story and the guy with the beard how 

he got mixed up in all of this  .. it beats me ... 

but the majority of people and some highly intelligent for the 

other eleven months of the year are quite happy to accept this handed-down story with added-on 'thrills' as being true, especially those in business, which reminds me of another handed-down story, the 'Clenching of the Temple' ..''

because my art has no importance to any body else 
but me,  so if I don't create there is nothing else for me

but tell me if I am wrong ... 

every 'true' artist is at war with himself and the world.''

''The truth will always hurt but better to hear than lies that can kill.''

''Since the beginning of time man has always felt stronger 

physically and sociologically in groups or little 
'bands-of-friends' that no longer think for themselves or 
have their independence but rather think as the group, 
this is human survival and what has helped mankind to 
survive as hunters and gathers which we still do today 
and most adapted in different ways to suit our times.  

The one who can be on his own and not part of the group is 

a treat and will never be accepted unless he conforms to the majority in thinking and support of the group, whether right or wrong. 'Bands-of-friends' are like a roaming pack of dogs, 

when one barks they all bark even if some don't 
know why they are barking.''
