    "Never underestimate the value of Physical Well-being, when the Mind is willing but the Body is lacking - then the Mental state of one's Health can see frustration, dis-heartening and be Soul destroying"

    Don't do what you can't undo, until you've considered what you can't do once you've done it.

    We can do anything if we put our mind to it, because we know love is how our ideas came to be.

    i hate seeing fences that stop people from exploring anything (except someone else's house where they're living) at their own risk.
    what i hate even more, is they're having to be there because there seem to be so many people who would just tear everything up if they weren't.

    there's no reason the public couldn't have nice things, if there weren't people who thought they were doing the world a favor to prevent everyone from being able to enjoy them.
    it doesn't matter i they're doing this because they're rich or poor, both are an equally lame excuse.

    ---

    also; just because everyone can't be a king,
    how is that a reason,
    for every man, woman, beast and child,
    to not be their own phylosofur?

    Would you have expected anything less from a group of blind people?

    The movie Wait Until Dark (1967) was an allegory on the subject in which the protagonist who was blind, suddenly had the advantage when the lights went out

    when i was six years old, i looked at the six inch stove pipe behind the heater in the living room, and then i looked at the six inch stove pipe behind the cook-stove in the kitchen,
    and then i looked at a picture of a fat man wearing a red parka, and i said: "ho ho oh".

    i don't know if i ever watched that movie or not, but i remember reading a story called "persistence of vision". i don't remember who wrote it,
    but it was about a sighted guy's visit to a commune of blind people who had it going on, with everything so they could find their way around,
    even a little train for a transit system. i think they'd either made it completely automatic, or maybe it had the signals inside the cab in braille.
