People want it. People can get it.
We live in a capitalistic democratic society,
So we get what we want.

To Will......
To will that is most enduring and fruitful..
Is to know the true nature of one's imperfections.
Is to know the true nature of one's imperfections.
Navigating the present...
The present moment is ever present in its movement,
Hence there is no circumventing it.

Confession / clarification.........
Confession/clarification is one of the cleansing process of
Inner thought ( self) and actions of a person :
A choice there remains is how one chooses to address it,
Not a mear ( insignificant/simple /indifferent)
manipulation of the conscious self,
that leads one to be delusional with distortions of reality,
where one is lost even more in to
The trappings of falsehood
But, is a journey to regain one's innocence
that is humble and vulnerable.
An undoing, where nothing is left for imagination...
And with out such cleansing
There is neither transcendence nor
Evolution of the self.

Acts...
Albeit with all the good intentions and to do good
and serve the fellow human beings ,
One had indeed done nothing , except to be thankful
for being in such privileged position and
Yet to face the absurdity of the fact that
One is indeed in no less need of salvation and
As such there is neither virtue or vice
in those contrasting lives,
The server and the served,while both are not free
Of their respective bondage (miseries),
where in the possibility or a potential for
any true meaning lies only
when life is made free of such ( conditional )
banalities of existence.

Quote of the day..........
Much more is needed.
At least as important is that
( THE PERSON DESIGNATED)
the criminal must be debased.
He must be seen to suffer not just from
a deprivation of liberty, but also to be
emotionally, psychologically, mentally anguished.
The punishment can’t just physically
restrain his body, but
must inflict suffering in his mind,
on the deepest level of his soul.
-- Glenn Greenwald.
* * * * *
The prosecutor-dictated plea bargain system,
by creating such inordinate pressures to
enter into plea bargains,
appears to have led a significant number of
defendants to plead guilty to crimes
they never actually committed.
---Judge Jed S. Rakoff.

Privacy.......
privacy is the cornerstone of freedom and Liberty
Though may not be private,
Yet it is the grace and essence of human self
In its interaction with the very nature of existence.

What is... and Will be.....and A homage to The chambered nautilus....
In time space continuum what has been....
( neither intelligence nor experience)
is not same in the present ...
nor It will be in future
even in similarities / parallels.
* * * * *
A Homage to..
The Chambered Nautilus
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main,—
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise
to sun their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed,—
Its irised ceiling rent,
its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home,
and knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathèd horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought
I hear a voice that sings:
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by
life’s unresting sea!
--By Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

Easter and in Rememberence of PassOver......
In a shadowy corner of the self
In each one of us, there resides
An infomer who aids in self preservation
and in one's insecurities. Albeit
An informer is not only inauthentic
but also is the one that lends oneself
to distortion of truth ,adding to chaos.

Quote of the day.........
Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your looped and windowed raggedness,
defend you From seasons such as these?
Oh, I have ta'en Too little care of this!
Take physic, pomp.
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,
That thou mayst shake the superflux to them
And show the heavens more just.
----King Lear.

The storm...
Nothing he had ever seen before of life
in the city or anywhere else had prepared him
for the stories they told him or
the chilling matter of fact-ness of their telling,
as though the world that described was
the way the world has always been
as far as they knew would always go on being.
He came to realize that more often than not
their homelessness was not worse than the homes,
if they had ever had any, that they had fled or
be thrown out of a simply seen
fall pieces around their ears.
If the police would not let them sleep
in the subway, they simply moved on to
some boarded- up tenement or public latrine.
If they could get hold of drugs,
they injected oven cleaner, maybe , or
sniffed glue or or gasoline, or
anything else that came their way.
If panhandling did not pay off they stole,or
if they weren't too battered looking,
they found somebody who would pay them
for the use of their bodies and may be even
take them in ,feed them and buy them cloths
and treat them decently for while,
often they would find themselves
a professional who would handle
such transactions for them,
enjoying themselves for free from time to time
and may be literally throwing them out
the window or off a fire escape when
they stopped bringing money.
If they were resourceful ,
they might pick up the price of a meal
by tearing out in to rush hour by traffic
when the lights turned red and swabbing off
wind shields with a wet rag, or
scourging the coin return slots of pay phones.
He suspected that beneath their opaque gaze,
they were asking them selves how
they might be able to make use of him
and wondering , if he in turn was asking
himself how and in what ways
he might be able to make use of them.
A girl would drop her eyes or a boy give
a knowing smile, when there did not seem
to be anything to smile at,and he suddenly
felt something that approached terror.
What terrified him was that
they were all of them for sale.

Quote of the day..........
"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment
on our liberties.
We hold this prudent jealousy to be
the first duty of citizens,
and one of the noblest characteristics of
the late Revolution.
The freeman of America did not wait till
usurped power had strengthened
itself by exercise, and entangled
the question in precedents.
They saw all the consequences in the principle,
and they avoided the consequences
by denying the principle."
