NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
The Answer
Then what is the answer?- Not to be deluded by dreams.
To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,
and their tyrants come, many times before.
When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose
the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.
To keep one’s own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted
and not wish for evil; and not be duped
By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will
not be fulfilled.
To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear
the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history… for contemplation or in fact…
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man’s pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.

Hi Gerard,
This is not related to the above. I’ve been thinking you should
participate in this contest. Not a huge prize but better than nothing.

Cute kid. Interesting interaction there with the Dirty White Man.
And the step counter bit — ten thousand steps is a hoax (what isn’t?) via NYPost ” … the origin of the 10,000-steps-a-day prescription. That bit of wisdom didn’t come from an exercise science lab, Lee learned. Rather, that figure was plucked from a Japanese marketing campaign from the 1960s hawking an early incarnation of the pedometer.” https://nypost.com/2019/06/03/sorry-fitness-fanatics-your-10000-step-goal-is-bogus/
Made it to 0:35. I can experience dancing diversity and gawd-awful “music” with TV commercials.
