The Defiance Of The Different

officialiwrotethisforyou:

Most importantly, if you can at all avoid it, don’t be normal. Strive, burn and do everything you can to avoid being the industry standard. Even the highest industry standard. Be greater than anything anyone else has ever dreamed of you. Don’t settle for pats on the back, salary increases, a nod-and-a-smile. Instead, rage against the tepidness of the mundane with every fiber of whatever makes you, you. Change this place.

Please, do that for me.

Not Even the Wind Can Free You (by russell.tomlin)

Dance With Wind
Wind is the fate we are facing
Wind is the life we are touching every second
Wind is the love we don’t understand but feel
Wind is the bridge we cannot see but feel
Wind is wind is wind is wind is wind
Wind is the rope we to ourselves not to be free
Wind is………………………………………………………
Wind is…………………………….. Wind is…………….
Driving into human imagination unknowingly

Ecstasy of Chaos

When the immense drugged universe explodes 
In a cascade of unendurable colour 
And leaves us gasping naked, 
This is no more than the ecstasy of chaos: 
Hold fast, with both hands, to that royal love 
Which alone, as we know certainly, restores 
Fragmentation into true being.

— Robert Graves

Eyjafjallajökull volcano (by Kristin Sig)

Love is for vanishing into the sky
The mind for learning what men have done and tried to do
Mysteries are not to be solved
The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why”

Laughter is spiritual health. And laughter is very unburdening. While you laugh, you can put your mind aside very easily. For a man who cannot laugh the doors of the buddha are closed. To me, laughter is one of the greatest values. No religion has ever thought about it. They have always been insisting on seriousness, and because of their insistence the whole world is psychologically sick.

Lilac (by russell.tomlin)

If there is lilac near you, nuzzle your face into it.  No one will see or know and the fragrance will remind you that you are still alive.

violetgarden:

Why can’t we be how we were in the backyard?
Simple days of hand in hand
And drawing our names in the sand.
Somehow life just complicates.
Our buried treasure it just waits
Lost in the backyard.
You can still meet me in the garden.

Rotten to the core! - created by captgeo

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.  ~Dorothy Canfield Fisher

If a day is bad because you brought a bundle of home issues with you, sometimes nothing will turn that around. For some people, work is an escape from home issues but sometimes even for them, the enormity of something happening in your personal life is too large for work to help you forget. If you feel exhausted, teary, distressed and liable to explode and say inappropriate things, it is probably a good idea to call it a day and go home and sort issues out.

Here are some questions atheists are frequently asked:

What do you actually believe in? Truth.

Isn't atheism just another religion? No. A religion believes in supernatural power. Sure, Dawkins is super and natural - but he's not supernatural.

When I asked what the difference was between a religion and a cult, someone replied "a good accountant''.

The ''atheism is a religion'' question is best answered by the Non-Stamp Collector, a YouTube animator who says: "Saying atheism is a religion is like saying not collecting stamps is a hobby, off is a TV channel or bald is a hair colour".

Why are you atheists so angry? If beauty is in the eye of the beholder then anger is in the sphincter of those people whose beliefs are being confronted. No one who agrees with Dawkins has ever called him strident.

The word ''militant'' has become synonymous with atheist. Militant is simply a word used to describe someone showing opposition in a way the people being opposed don't like.

And yes, atheists have killed, tortured, lied and stolen - never in the name of atheism, but because they're bad.

Jews, Muslims, Christians and atheists are generally moral people. But that's not because they're Jews, Muslims, Christians or atheist. It's because they're people.

I do hate. I hate religion taking credit for most people's innate goodness.
