DON’T AS STION IF Y ’T WANT T THE ANSW It was going to be a la gossip magazine. You know, the one where people blabber about nothing – write pages and pages about NOTHING. Isn’t that

impressive? From having nothing to say one might write a whole magazine

every week, AND sell it for quite a bit of money. Because apparently people like nothing. They dwell on made up problems and unnecessary drama. They like to make it confusing. BUT who are THEY? Well, but no one knows. And

more importantly, no one even cares. It’s just always THEY, because of THEM,

for THEM and it’s THEIR fault. And why would they care? Why to care about nothing? Nothing is there already, without any extra effort. So why bother

oneself with something unimportant when there are so many important

things to take care of? WHY? WHY! WHY even ask?! Don’t ask a question if you don’t want to hear the answer.

Hmm...Oh yeah, so it turned out not to be a la gossip magazine because all those love TRIANGLES and who did who are not even that interesting.

verything must go! BUT WHERE?! But who cares?! Stop asking questions... SHIT HIT THE FAN that'’s where, or rather how the gossip and lies work. They spread so quickly and with so little care that they ruin everything on the way. Don'’t poison your soul. Dirty thoughts produce dirty actions. Try the truth for a change, you might like it. After all, even the darkness can't exist without light! We can'’t have one without the other. Well, why should you care anyway?

st go!



BUT don'’t forget that it’' the end that matters, it' the tunnel! It’'s only dark want to see it dark, beca yourself believe it’'s dar ARE NOW IS NOT THE ONLY W just the matter of attitu It'’s not how good you ar you want to be, and the change is NOW. Because

o matter how much you try there is way too much darkness in the world already. So just go with the flow and keep messing it up. Don’'t do anything and complaint about how bad the world is. If everyone is doing it, must be the right way to go about it. REALLY?! Yes, Really. Oh well, NO, NOT really. OF COURSE not really. You shouldn'’t believe everything you are told. They can say anything they want, it’'s a free world after all, but you have to decide for yourself what is true and what isn’'t so true. Yes, life is opaque, so unclear and so complicated, and so confusing, and unforeseeable. And it’'s so difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel through all this mess. BUT don'’t forget that it’'s not the light at the end that matters, it'’s the light within the tunnel! It’'s only dark because you want to see it dark, because you make yourself believe it’'s dark. THE WAY YOU ARE NOW IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO BE! It'’s all just the matter of attitude you acquire. It'’s not how good you are, it’'s how good you want to be. and the time is always right to do what is right. Don’'t hesitate, the more you think about it the more reasons you'’ll come up with for not doing it.

The way you are now is not the only way to be.

You are here now, hence the time to do it is now. We don’t waste time, as it is rather impossible to do, because time just is there for us regardless of whether we want it or not. What we waste is ourselves. So do yourself a favour and stop wasting your life. Waste is out of fashion these days, the news informs us. And how do i know that? Because rumor has it! If only we all did our jobs as good as gossip does its... Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. So what are you going to do with it? We could just speak in quotes...

HO SAID IT?!

?

w

ho said it? What is a quotation anyways? Is the person who claims to have said it the only person in the world who has come up with this precise combination of these particular words? Where did they get the words from? Words are there for everyone to be used. So how can we suddenly claim an authorship on something that was never ours in the first place?! Nothing is original – everything is a thought, a copy of something else. We are paraphrasing as we go. We think it'’s new but it's not, we think it’'s original but it’'s not. Greeks did it all and said it all, after them it'’s all just a copy/paste reaction.

W

hich isn'’t a bad thing in itself, because evey time copy/paste action is done differently as we all are different people with different views. Hence the result turns out to be different each time and we unconsciously call it new. BUT IT'’S NOT NEW! Lets call the things by their real names and that will illuminate a lot of confusion in the world. The law, the art, the literature, the philosophy, the great leaders of the world – all references back to Ancient Greece. They did it all. We are doing the exact same thing only with different tools. But the worst is that we are trying to fool ourselves that it's all new.

THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear is full of hearing. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new�? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
