I'm gonna get deep on y'all now.

I was reading, of all things, an interview with Kate Bush from 1993 in Vox magazine, sitting on the karzi, and I got to thinking.

I came to this thought, and it was almost a revelation, never too old to learn something:

"The biggest mistake I’ve made thus far in this life is, given any situation or scenario, I assumed everybody will view and percieve it the same way as me".

They don’t.

Individuality is both a blessing and a curse.

It’s taken me too many years to realise this.

Such is life.

That's my own thought.

Add yours to this thread, if you will.

And those thoughts along the lines of

"It takes much longer to get up North the slow way"

will be ridiculed, mocked, and generally giggled at.

Which is probably the fate of my meaningless bulwarks.... ;)
 
Never a truer word said in jest


This one always makes me think and sometimes overanalyze when people inevitably say things they haven't really thought about and pay no heed to how it will possibly affect those around them..
 
I think myself to death at times. But i'm not sure I would open my thought to a live page as this...

It's true what people say every Genuis has a little bit of Crazy in them

My own thoughts and naratives alone scare me at times lol never mind publishing them here aswell
 
Well, I don't think what I posted is anything of mine to be ashamed of.

Doesn't scare me either.

It's something that on reflection is so damned simplistic and the fact that it never really occurred to me, deeply, in all my years, comes as a great source of surprise to me.

Is all :)

Or maybe I'm just intoxicated, lol ;)
 
During 1974 my own brother diddled me out of £74k:nod: :mad: that were a lot of money in those days, even today?

And ever since my philosophy has been.
"Never trust anyone where money is a concern"
 
Well mine is this..

If anyone of us thinks we are alone in the Universe then they are a pillock :) ..

just read the facts :)
 
The universe, as we know it, and as we have so far discovered it, is bereft of life as we know it.

The universe is not known to us.

For mankind to assume he/she is the only living enitity is arrogance in the extreme and absurd.

I think we got neighbours. We just not close enough to get to know them yet.

Which is possibly a good thing.

You may have a point in there... just imagine a cosmic version of Neighbor J. Jones:



And - this being one of those deep threads and all - we may as well continue with Karl Marx... nope, wrong guy, I meant Carl Barks. One word: Flipism:

And for today, I just read this:

'Life must be lived forward, but it can only be understood backwards'

Woohoo, deep eh? :D

Just for the record. Thats one Sun. So each star if classed as a sun holds say for arguements sake 1 planet. And say for example we have 100 million suns in out galaxy but onl 1 percent of those come remotely close to hold life of some sort thats would still be 1 million.

Now X that by the 100million other galaxies again for aruguements sake each only hold one planet each per sun/star.


And we still aint touched the surface literally and those figures are minute compared to what actually exists out there in the cosmos

All of the most fantastic images were taken by the Hubble telescope which has far exceeded and rewarded its makers with data. Its european more sophisticated counterpart is due for launch April 2009...​
