Yeah, I could summerize from experiance that no one is ever truly happy. Yeah, you think, "that's not true."
There's always that time when you were happy. Just remember the last girl that you went with. Wasn't that such
a wonderful time. well, you know what I would say to that in my state of mind -- Heck! Because all those wonderful
memories - post breakup - become null - and each remembrance brings pain. Continual pain, until you start to build a
new happiness for yourself.
Perhaps the misery created helps us learn who we are and who we aren't supposed to be with. Think about it GOdammit!
If that girl was really worth it you would have fought for that relationship (I don't know if that's true or not) -not give
up like the sniveling wuss that you are! The reason you gave up is because it wasn't meant to be, right!?
But you now are feeling what it's like to replace the hole that the last woman left in your heart, your mind, oh -whatever-
you're repairing your Soul - and once it's healed you will move on! Building for YOUR happiness - a life with one, Yourself.
Just smile for me, okay. Thanks.

Living in Love:
Our true mission in life isn't to become famous. I've found that it is to help as many people as possible - ourselves
first - then humanity. Withouth first helping ourselves: stabilizing our mind, soul, and body: we will never truly be
able to help others.
How to help others?
-Love them- truly - in your heart with your soul
...even when they hurt you
...even whey they try to kill you.
Passive Resistance is faster than bullets; when you don't fight back, people notice.
Stronger than Granite Ledges; when your heart truly loves the opposition, and wants to better both sides.
Wiser than the greatest computer; when collective resistance proves fatal to an evil system.
(Question?) - What happens if an evil system takes up Passive Resistance? THink about this one, I haven't
thought about it nearly enough, but it's funny that most evil has been aggressive. Is evil aggression, or is evil
aggression with malice...cannot a pascivist use his non-aggression as an act of aggression?
-We may be killed and our blood may flow because we choose what we believe and fight for it in a non-traditional way.
Violence has never been the key but more of a Pandora's box leading to newer forms of violence constantly. Though our
society is enslaved to violence - and even glorifies it in many forms - we are their friends as fellow human beings.
We have merely chosen a different, more peaceful path - a higher moral ground.
"Be loving enough to absorb evil and understanding enough to turn an enemy into a friend." -Martin Luther
King, Jr.
-Though we may be hated at first, people will look at our actions and see peace on our faces. Perhaps they will
never call us friend, but in the cast that one would, that is the objective greater than humiliating the opposition.
"a power not rooted in love is reckless and abusive while a love devoid of power is sentimental and anemic."
-John J. Ansbro on MLK, jr.
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of Justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything
that stands against love."
-Tillich from MLK, jr - The Making of a Mind
AGAPE - goodwill - love toward all man not because we like him, but because God does.

Contemplation #3
by Daniel Griswold
People
tripping down a street
muscles pulse as legs move
rhythm in arms balance
People walk by
trees meet the vertical
in a symposium of windows
sidewalks drip into alleyways
People think
the city reeks of its past
standing in the center
viewing the senseless steel
People stop here
they smile some look awkward
some frown
close eyes
I tear my heart from its cage
I hold it in my hands
beating to a divine syncopation
People look on
open eyes
Im covered in blood
feet stick as they pass me
shaking legs and moving on
People close their minds
and a poet speaks,
I write for a reason.
I guess I write for myself
but Ill give my thoughts
to all the people
just to see
what theyll say.
Even as people walk by
their soles are stained
with his passion.
Only some will trip on
him
love him
and care.
Tripping on my shoulder, I realized that I had nothing to live for. Isn't it a wonderful feeling, that we have
nothing and yet we seek something. I think that perhaps I've begun to live for the happiness for others...and you know
what, I've never found happiness while I'm seeking for myself. Now that doesn't mean that I'm not selfish, I'm just
saying that I've found more happiness in other's happiness than in my own. Does that make sense, because if it does,
it probrably means that you've been so enlightened to feel for others. It's not as bad as some may say. I think.

Am I a prostitute to my own fate?
poem
Old Skool: Junior High
by dan
Picturing my young learning head in Junior High,
Roaming the halls with pictures of my teachers,
I would watch green pastures die before my eye,
Symbolic of the death of all the youngest seekers.
Carpet made industrial strength for throwing up,
The weakest stomachs never handle well, school lunch,
All the guys would hit a shoulder, squeeking, "sup,"
Girls together, clicking gum, rumored, pigtail bunch.
All I know I learned I picked up in 4th grade books,
Even though I'm straight "A" man, I'm intellectually broke,
I yelled my boredom to my classmates, gave me looks,
For all they know, the world consists of sleep and teacher's pokes.
All I do is sit and stare quite fervantly.
This Junior High isn't quite what I had thought it to be...
...intellectually.
Give me the blessed hope that societies dreams will be okay! When social security dies and the red tape of buraucracy,
we will see that this world makes no more sense now as it did in the future and as it will in our past. All things are
to be thought of as relative, nothing will ever make complete sense. So long as humans control their own destinies and
the world spins to the left, our collective consciousness will hide the fears we all hold (and hide again) within our hearts
successfully supressing the function of comfort. OUr generation, like the ones before will never find peace on the physical
level until we balance the concrete society with the much needed society of the soul. No man can deny the cries of his
soul without the death of his heart, immediately followed by the death of his body, and part of society dies with him...
