Cool Self…

9th July 2004

posted in The Proprietor |

In whom there dwells no self-deception and no pride,
Whose lust and selfishness are gone, who is desireless,
Whose wrath is put away, whose self hath cool become-
He is brahmin, a recluse, a monk.

-Udana

Well, if you got to have a little pride, selfishness, self deception, and that smidgeon of lust to get the engine started in the morning, then good on ya! Keeps you in and of the world is what I think. Not a bad thing for a human being.

And wrath! good old wrath… what can I say but BRING IT AWWWWNNNN!!!

Little o’ this, little o’ that. Spices up the luncheon meat, surely. But if you can manage to cram yer Scooby Doo lunch box each morn mostly with Sense of Adventure and Curiosity, it might be healthier in the long run.

Oh, and smores. Lotsa smores.

Just supposin.

Many people find that grapes go well with wrath.

Or you could just reread Phillip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint, also known as the Gripes of Roth.
