How External conditions often sound similar to man’s Internal ones:
When asked his position on the weather,
the Obvious Party’s candidate replied,
“Sometimes I’ll like it and sometimes I won’t.”
The mind believes that someone else created the world outside, and has no idea that it did the one inside…which it regularly confuses with the one outside. And one man says, “If my inner world was as stable and reliable as the physical world out there, I would be a happy…no wait a second. Let me make that, if the world out there was as intelligent and insightful as my inner one, then the world out there would be a much better…no, let’s try it this way…If the world in me did not so clearly match the world out there…no, that’s still not it. Now I’ve got it… {f I could just remember that the world out there and the world in me are a perfect match…(yeah, baby, that’s it!)”
The winning song in this year’s San Remo Song Festival is one titled, “Freeing the Mind” which goes like this: “Freeing the mind, freeing the mind, you can think about freeing the mind ‘til the words become prison bars.” When the judges heard the last line, they declared a mistrial. They should have been tipped off by the composer’s pseudonym since Captain Irony long ago banned entries by the mentally handicapped, (that is to say, unprepared). Those surprised by life have for too long lived too-self-looked-at lives.
As the prince approached the day of having his dick clipped, and becoming neurally responsible, the king began urging him: “Get out more, but don’t forget your hands and feet!”
Those who ride into town believing they’re sharp, and who want it known that they think so, are too dull to ever be able to cut themselves loose.
“Loose from what, Daddy?”
“Why from their ghost selves, my boy what else?!”
(A mind that’s truly free, never sees irony.)
