Ideas Imagination Enough Time

More From Amy Sedaris

Exercise your imagination muscle! how many uses can you come up with for a flowerpot? write down your answers. but don't write them in this book. grab a separate sheet of paper. i didn't spend two and a half weeks writing a book just so you could mark up the pages with your silly ideas for things you can do with a flowerpot. when it comes down to it, what's wrong with a flowerpot not being a flowerpot? why is nothing ever good enough for you?
Silly Book Writing
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

From the three, you then use one to make eight ones. you add those ones to the three, and you get one-three base eight, or, in other words, in base ten you have eleven, and you take away seven. and seven from eleven is four. now go back to the sixty-fours, you're left with two.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
Struggle Book Thinking
In my dreams is a country where the state is the church and the church the people: three in one and one in three. it is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. it is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. it is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.

We may know that the work we continue to put off doing will be bad. worse, however, is the work we never do. a work that’s finished is at least finished. it may be poor, but it exists, like the miserable plant in the lone flowerpot of my neighbour who’s crippled. that plant is her happiness, and sometimes it’s even mine. what i write, bad as it is, may provide some hurt or sad soul a few moments of distraction from something worse. that’s enough for me, or it isn’t enough, but it serves some purpose, and so it is with all of life.
