In aphorism, proverb on 20090430 at 10:44
The clearest way to see within is to be without.
There is a time to shine, and a time to let others shine.
The setting of the sun has a silent way of bidding farewell.
And the small root shall overcome even the most stubborn of the big rocks.
A blossom blooms only while the beauty begets and will whither wherever the wind wills.

[on self-repression and morality]
Self-repression is not morality; it is a fear-based excuse to live under the denial of the expanse of emotions and opportunities that is gifted unto humanity. Self-repression is a lack of awareness, a lack of consciousness, and furthermore a lack of appreciation for what we have been given. It is often exercised in the [vain] name of a higher being/order/power. Its false front of morality is usually under the guise of intolerance for another’s audacity to experience life.

War is premeditated murder without exception, exemption, or excuse.
