    So, you're a dick then. At least, from waist up. From the waist down, you're a clever joke! lol

    Very funny, Dejavu.

    Gotta say, I think this is the first time I've ever seen a demons dick drawn, and rendered so artfully at that.

    Sounds like an existential crisis to me---though I'm only reading into what you have written here, and there is probably much more to it than just this (...tell me about ze relachionship vit your fazzer (father)...).

    This was my advice to the last person who described suffering through what sounded like an existential crisis: "A great time to hang out at Beat coffee shops and find pretty Audrey Hepburn like girls, dressed in tight black clothes, then act cool, and talk about the angst you feel towards the meaninglessness of life forced upon us by the Post-Modern crisis..."

    This is the Big WHY that most people are afraid to ask, afraid to confront---so instead they fill their lives with short term pleasures, and allow others to make up their minds for them. This is what Kierkegaard talked about.

    In the novel, Nausea, by Jean Paul Sartre-----the main character is faced with the same question. He gets caught up in existence as well.

    I am called many things by many people at different times and I am those things to those people at those times but spending all the time I have with myself none of those things are particularly prevalent. I am all things considered a locus of attention, I show up. My cetacean citation is get your nose outta my crack or I'll drop a tree on you.
    Hard to get a grip on a drip dribbling drooler. You've never met my body. I could very well be someone other than who you think I am. Knowledge is being shared, that is association. You singling me out to receive your voodoo hex of sickness is like hacking blindly at the forest to get at a tree you insist must be at the center. The endurance of an oak is not in it's woody hardness toes deep in the ground and head high in the air but in it's fruit the acorn that falls to the ground and gives itself up to the earth. The ability to change form.
    You mean control freaks like make no mistake you are your body zombie walkers? Not to accord you the reverence of demonizing you the body is a communication device.
    Why? I'm not a monk or a porcupine. What you mean is not my measure. I do pee though and I have had occasion to seek out the nearest public facility so by all means you continue to evaluate the koans symbolism as you think it involves special effort on your part. I'll just take a piss.
    Coif it up.
    What is the future of those conceived?
    You obviously thought this song was about you but the question was for ginalee14.

    Depression is anger turned inwards. That relationships become the focus is a given because, after all, what else is there? Seeing and witnessing unfairness begins at an early age; it will, of course, drive you to blaming the source of the injustice--a parent. You come out of such depression when you come to the realization that your father is but a boy, like yourself, whom has grown either up or out. In other words, relief comes with the acknowledgement that holding others up to a standard of perfection is not realistic.

    This is just another way of saying that expectation is the source of all woe. I can expect that you will be a son of a bitch, or I can expect that you will be agreeable. Either way, I will have set myself up to experience frustration; or is it depression; or is it anger; or is it resentment? You will be who you are/will, and that has nothing much to do with me.

    This ain't your crack, pusher.

    Everyone is their body. Sorry I can't single you out. Seriously, If I could heal your ills I would.

    You can make the mistake of not thinking you're your body all you like.

    No special effort, but we must carry the koan to the sacred grove where the butterflies are! The funniest Daejavudu will be there. The robin hood of riddlers! By another title! Forbearing the clatter of our nomenclature! He will kindle the flame out from under all deities in the name of ourselves! No countenances remain ashen in his glance! There too, before no-ones unlooking, he will wed the one called ________, and she will give birth to ____!

    I haven't worked it out yet. I'm open to suggestions.

    Those? You can't shed your dead by conceiving an end to conception!

    Like my koan! It wasn't about you... but it was lonely, and while you weren't able to give it a home, you seemed, for a moment, to be more than a bradshaw, you almost appeared as open as the future itself! Humanity! You hellion! Take up thedope! Restore his faith in you where he proclaims only god to be good!

    Who are you to say where I begin and end? Shove it up youren.
    No, you only invent them and you only may forgive them.
    That is because that level of identification doesn't matter beyond the point of it's eventual association with pain. If the body has something to say it is in the form of attraction and repulsion but you have the capacity to grin and bear it, to transcend a moments difficulty for the certainty that this too shall pass.

    Coif
    style or arrange (someone's hair), typically in an elaborate way.

    Yes?

    I didn't say it was about me. I said it was about being civilized and in civility is better company than loneliness. You are the one with lonely bemusements!

    Why do you call me anything? Only your invocation is good to you. God being that which we invoke only your god is good.

    YOU AGAIN!

    Anger about being made angry. Why do you ask?

    Actually, I can pinpoint it to the time the Beatles split up. Probably just a coincidence.

    Sorry for Storching you, but it's . . . who I am. The anger stemmed from my belief in, and acceptance of, the idea that the thoughts and behavior of others meant something about me.

    You again would be Dejavu.
    It is my habit to ask what a thing is for. Anger it seems by the account of your account is on the account of the accounting. I would sum it up differently knowing the accounts I keep are my own.

    Let me go get my calculator. Yes, anger is drawn from accounts, which is just another way of saying it is based on the judgement of all.

    Well don't be angry on my account if it is guilt you intend to share. I am intent on the game not the score. It is not from me that the unflattering or the fattening issues, your mind is your own to calibrate or otherwise celebrate.

    I didn't say that the judgements are based in reality; hence my referring to the illusion we shared.
