(get it, this is not by Anodyne! but I really wrote it!!!)
|
|
|
|
I am proud to continue my family tradition of frequent
|
|
intoxication. /It/ only becomes serious when your mind is attached; I
|
|
see what that crazy old Buddha meant. I mean, when you aren't listening
|
|
it doesn't matter who's talking. And it's the same way with sadness:
|
|
when you don't listen it just isn't there. Works out great.
|
|
|
|
The problem is, some neo-Jesus punks and wrinkled winking old
|
|
fellows seem to think that "when you ignore it, it doesn't go away."
|
|
What a ridiculous blanket statement, just what you'd expect from the
|
|
all-or-nothing crowd! Its good to ignore some things and bad to ignore
|
|
others. Just like everything else is this rotten stinking amazingly
|
|
exotically beautiful life we call our own. Only society's whores watch
|
|
the evening news. You know what sadness is without dwelling on it every
|
|
day at 6 PM. See it, recognize it, learn to cope, then ignore.
|
|
|
|
They march behind the banner of "Someday You'll See". But my eyes
|
|
are open today, you squishers of glee. Detachment from material things
|
|
(including other human beings) is the best way to avoid suffering. Oh
|
|
yeah, and joy. But don't worry about that, you'll have a life of perfect
|
|
contentment. The afterlife? You guessed it, perfect contentment too.

|
|
|
|
Contentment? Nothing in heaven interests me. Leave it to the
|
|
miserable to construct a heaven of misery. They could at least have put
|
|
in some jazz and pool tables, but instead they opted for lutes and
|
|
clouds. Jesus Christ, whose idea was that, anyway?
|
|
|
|
Too many people are of the opinion that nothing important happens
|
|
until you die. That's when all the excitement happens, so you might as
|
|
well wait. Just make sure you eat that cracker and Kool-Aid(tm) once in
|
|
a while. I like Kool-Aid(tm) as much as the next guy, but I at least
|
|
have the ability to mix the powder myself. In all seriousness, if I want
|
|
to buy Indulgences the crack house is closer than the church AND it's
|
|
open 24-7.
|
|
|
|
This is all ridiculous banter, of course, and rather coarse
|
|
besides. I only want everybody in the world to be happy all the time
|
|
every day, because everything is something to be happy about. Not only
|
|
is Everything something to be happy about but each thing is something to
|
|
be happy about. The particulars of each thing may be something to be
|
|
unhappy about, but each thing itself is something to be happy about.
|
|
|
|
Something can be a physical entity or a mental entity.
|

|

|
You can be happy about something even though
|
|
any or all of properties A,B,and C, is not something
|
|
to be happy about. Something exists and it's there
|
|
and it's contributing to your life on this planet!
|
|
It is precious and valuable no matter what it is! Fools!11!!
|
|
|
|
Ahem...as I was saying, happiness is definitely the way to go.
|
|
When you're feeling sad and blue, become un-unhappy. And then become
|
|
un-un-un-unhappy.
|
|
|
|
And if you keep saying that word with more and more prefixes it's
|
|
guaranteed to make you laugh! So, get distracted and laugh big full
|
|
belly laughs, and don't go to sleep just yet.
