"He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which."
Douglas Adams
Teach me, teach me.
Take from me
Innate responsibility.
Tell me, tell me.
Let me know
How you think my life should go.
Push me, pull me.
Shape me so.
This way, that way. "Don't you know?"
"We're old, you're young."
"We know best."
Joy and wonder both repressed.
Schooled up, grown up,
Serious.
"In the know, not you, that's us."
"Science and philosophy are always based on assumption. Organised religions (old and new) are based around belief. It amounts to the same thing. Taking a collection of made up thought, pretending it is true and then using it as the basis to explore Existence. Why not just explore existence without pretending made up stuff is true?"
