Ain't this just like school...
Before I could finish the third paragraph <BAM>...my head slams into the desk.
I awoke...I awoke and had an epiphany (and a rather large welt where my melon met mahogany).
Suddenly it was all clear...
I don't know Satan from Adam.
If you had not introduced them to me (thus inducing my sleep state), they might mean nothing to me.
...and then I remembered some others words I have read from time to time...
The ideas swam around in my head, colliding and mixing with each other, creating a kaleidescope view of a cataclysmic cornucopia that was as boundless as eternity.
How to make sense of all of these ideas...

We keep thinking of diety as a kind of fact, somewhere; God as a fact. God is simply our own notion of something that is symbolic of transcendence and mystery. The mystery is what's important.

Then I wearied from all of this mental masturbation and poured myself another rum and coke. Ahhh...
Contemplate the complex, but enjoy the simple things.
Quote:
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
- John Lennon
