i decided that instead of leaving behind an angry declaration as my sg epitaph, i should leave something more in line with who i am. anyone who knows me well knows that i am a big believer in the metaphor. metaphors make comparisons of alien topics so much simpler. and i do love catchphrases. they make it easy to focus on the points you want to get across. so i will repost an old blog that i think got skipped over...maybe there's something here that you can apply to your own life:
some things i have learned...life philosophies boiled down to t-shirt catchphrases, if you will...i do not lay claim to having coined them all...just melding mine and others together...
one owes respect to the living. to the dead one owes only truth.
success means getting up one more time
the deadliest weapon is terror
fear can hit targets unreachable to bullets
you must show no mercy, nor have any belief in how others judge you, for your greatness will silence them all
life is short and the grave is deep
you must show a little of yourself to the enemy in exchange for their fear
he who laughs last thinks slowest
friends come and go...enemies accumulate
nobody roots for goliath
the true treasures no thief can touch
it is not enough to know your enemy's weakness...you have to know your own
shackles of gold are still shackles
fear rules those weak enough to accept it
there must be a lot of good in people...so little of it ever comes out
things only have the power that you give them
it is better to be the hammer than the anvil
faint heart never won fair maiden
the extreme always makes an impression
the first thing you must learn about evil is that it cannot be ignored
it is the man who stands in the middle of the road who gets run over
we are slaves to our desires
belief without action is the ruin of the soul
for some things there is no forgiveness
obsession is just a higher level of interest
there is a fundamental conflict between reality and desire
dreams are the movies that tell one's story...some already told...some not yet written
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you
a woman is a walking miracle
there are some debts you can never repay
anytime someone is afraid of you, you can use it to your advantage
never relinquish your terrors...that's when they catch you
ignorance is the most dangerous thing in society
there are spaces that are never filled except in death
the very heart of the matter of human contentment is in learning not to care
when you have too much faith in something, it is bound to hurt you
it must've been a woman who invented snow...who else could make it so cold?
pain is a real physical entity that lashes out and shares a little wine with its guests
you hold on to what you have, you do not give it up easily...even when you know it is poisoning you
people only fit into a box one time in their lives...the end. and that's the only time you should ever try to put someone in one.
my soul is the head of a cheap match after the last tender lick of flame...never to know another kiss
be good, ya'll.
