Next time, die consciously. Colin M. Hacklander solo as GOOD GOD
When you stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back into you...
A complacent life is a failed life.
F*** YOU / I LOVE YOU (...and what is at the core? Is it... )
If the purpose of the life is to prepare for death, then how to prepare?
'He died from one stab to the head... through his skull... I actually had to knock the knife out...'
Destruction of Self for renewal of self.
Elusive efforts towards a realization of dynamic autonomy in order to achieve eventual practical implementation of meta-
jurisprudence.
(The intelligent always remain uncertain.)
