More From Jimmy Buffett

Darling, you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter. i do not know why i am writing you this letter, or what this letter is supposed to be about, but i am writing it nonetheless, because i love you very much and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write this letter. i hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love. your father

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

The battle for self-discipline may leave you a bit bruised and battered but always a better person. self-discipline is a rigorous process at best; too many of us want it to be effortless and painless. should temporary setbacks afflict us, a very significant part of our struggle for self-discipline is the determination and the courage to try again....eternal life in the kingdom of our father is your goal, and self-discipline will surely be required if you are to achieve it.

A letter is not a dialogue or even an omniscient exposition. it is a fabric of surfaces, a mask, a form as well suited to affectations as to the affections. the letter is, by its natural shape, self-justifying; it is one's own evidence, deposition, a self-serving testimony. in a letter the writer holds all the cards, controls everything about himself and about those assertions he wishes to make concerning events or the worth of others. for completely self-centered characters, the letter form is a complex and rewarding activity.

The self-discipline of the social democracy is not merely the replacement of the authority of bourgeois rulers with the authority of a socialist central committee. the working class will acquire the sense of the new discipline, the freely assumed self-discipline of the social democracy, not as a result of the discipline imposed on it by the capitalist state, but by extirpating, to the last root, its old habits of obedience and servility.
Self Class Roots
Openness by the leader paves the way for ownership by the people. without ownership, changes will be short term. changing people's habits and ways of thinking is like writing instructions in the snow during a snowstorm. every twenty minutes the instructions must be rewritten, unless ownership is given along with instructions.
