Withhold

Real skill comes without effort
(Li Mu Bai)

Do not be brilliant. Brilliance expresses itself, against all odds, and perpetually eludes those who seek it. Don't even try, you'll put yourself in the position of being both ineffectual, and pathetic. Stick to passion, brilliance will follow, if ever, or not at all, regardless of your struggle.

philosophy

Something to believe in

I need something to believe in. Something mythical. Something magic. The sort of thing to put at the foundation of the good I want to do. Something to make what I do matter, because regardless of how well I do things, they stay cold and meaningless, as if there is no purpose in perfection.

We are animals

Come to it, we're all animals, in more ways than one. Having looked into pretty basic observations, I can no longer deny it and pretend I'm fair. In truth, most of us humans are no better than your average stray dog in a gutter. The glitter on our civilization in no more than the sign of our most elevated perversion, we're simply concealing our shameful bestiality in it.

What it is to be normal

To be sane. Can this still be achieved? Should it be defined by statistical means as the state of the majority?
