Lying Thinking Way

More From Willem De Kooning

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
Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

The animal is one with its life activity. it does not distinguish the activity from itself. it is its activity. but man makes hislife activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. he has a conscious life activity. it is not a determination with which he is completely identified.

There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. from this it becomes clear that "my" interest and "your" interest are intimately connected. in a deep sense, they converge.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.

The left does understand how raising taxes reduces economic activity. how about their desire for increasing cigarette taxes, soda taxes? what are they trying to do? get you to buy less. they know. they know that higher taxes reduce activity. it's real simple: if you want more of an activity, lower taxes on it. if you want less of an activity, raise taxes. so if you want more jobs? it's very simple. you lower payroll taxes. if you don't want as many jobs, then you raise corporate taxes. it's that simple, folks.

The world needs you. it doesn't need you at a party having read a book about how to appear smart at parties - these books exist, and they're tempting - but resist falling into that trap. the world needs you at the party starting real conversations, saying, 'i don't know,' and being kind.

It is essential to grasp the incontestable truth that a marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.

I'm not sure that my films show the reality of life in iran; we show different aspects of life. iran is a very extensive and expansive place, and sometimes, even for us who live there, some of the realities are very hard to comprehend.
