It’s a sign of things to come...if I let in every single person in my life and give them a glimpse of the show even before its time- that graffiti will be engraved on my tombstone.
Somehow I can talk only about myself - that's what it always seems like - the I's and the Me's and the My's - they don't seem to end. Maybe that’s because the problems don't seem end or perhaps that is the reason for my problems. Either which way, I think its time to put that to an end or just take a break from the self-indulgent talk till there comes a time for an ego-stroke.
On a not-so unrelated note, a comment made me wonder how Evolution impacted our lives. I don't mean the phase from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens. Its more to do with Darwin confusing the skeptical. Apparently there is something called Devolution - I take that comment as contemptuous. How can anyone let down any thought and need just because it doesn't fit their idea of civil and becoming-like. The attitude disturbs me - the inability to see beyond the divine and the holy and the right that worries me. For its only Marx who can see utopia and dream of it like most Indian men dream of sex. Why talk about Evolution, you say when the core is being too over self-obsessed? Well, the answer is simple - my perception of my own change (within and without) consequently impacts my opinion of the society I live in. This is not to say that my actions are solely based on your approval. They are based on my free will and my tastes and habits.
What makes the argument of - Man is a social animal, so alluring, is that; as men we refuse our "superiority" to justify our capacity to be primal.
The way I see it, it should be the other way around. Not because it is fun to contradict. But so it can finally register that we are animals first and then society came into being. Don't take my opinion too literally, I don’t mean lets go back to being Neanderthals (although I know a few who are!!) I feel its high time we realize - that the need can at times be so strong that the etiquette could go jump off a cliff. So lets admit to the doom and destruction that comes with being primal and or being civilized…its not a win-win situation, for sure.....

Dahling, that sounds like a lot of suppresion, frankly...
if we jump to being animals, well then, we never quite gave being human a shot, dont u think?
we would have been better off as animals...being human is too tough, have to explain every action, so pissing off...tell them to go jump off a cliff.. I agree..
nah!!!
all farce mate i agree with u
hmm instinct remains the same...
end of the day we are animals who walk on two feet and by some manner of neural usage dominate the other beings...
my sweet anon, lets not get too harsh...
I am not asking anyone to revert or revese time and act like primal..but why ignore a nee that can get overhwelming and destructive - self included...
Good post.
