Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.
Lying Way In Life Feet
This crazy little party girl who loves to enjoy life actually has a purpose. so, that's really the core of why i've survived so many years and i can go and i can fall down and i can get back up. why? because i know why i'm here. that's the question that a lot of people need to answer when they do fall is, 'why am i here?' if you can answer that question, you'll be able to dust yourself off and shine like a phoenix out of ashes.

Whatever it is probably won't go away, so we might as well live and laugh through it. when we double over laughing, we're bending so we won't break. if you think your particular troubles are too heavy and too traumatic to laugh about, remember that laughing is like changing a baby's diaper. it doesn't solve any problems permanently, but it makes things more acceptable for awhile.
Baby Laughter Thinking
I remember watching meryl streep in, the river wild. there's this scene where she's has a gun pointed at her, it's absurd in a lot of ways. someone pulls a gun on her i think, i'm not really fully aware of the scene and she just, she starts, you see her terrified. and then all of a sudden she starts to burst out laughing. she starts laughing. like she can't stop laughing. because she's terrified and she's emotional and there are no rules to what you're supposed to feel. that to me is like a number one, that's the thing i have to remind myself all the time.
Gun Emotional Thinking
Why are there beings at all instead of nothing? that is the question. presumably it is not arbitrary question, "why are there beings at all instead of nothing"- this is obviously the first of all questions. of course it is not the first question in the chronological sense [...] and yet, we are each touched once, maybe even every now and then, by the concealed power of this question, without properly grasping what is happening to us. in great despair, for example, when all weight tends to dwindle away from things and the sense of things grows dark, the question looms.

There are knives that glitter like altars in a dark church where they bring the cripple and the imbecile to be healed. there's a woden block where bones are broken, scraped clean--a river dried to its bed
Block Dark Knives
The dark ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. this dark ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation. caught up in a plethora of conditioned reflexes and driven by the human ego, both warden and prisoner attempt meagerly to compete with god. all are intractably skeptical of what they do not understand. we are powerfully imprisoned in these dark ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think.
Dark Thinking Persistence
I was directed and commanded by another power. the power of darkness. the power that you've heard so much about. the power that a lot of people don't believe exists. the power of the devil. satan.

What strange beings we are! that sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
