sun tzu's incomplete art

k. i decided. some battles indeed call for one side to walk away.

art of war

1. laying plans
2. waging war
3. attack by stratagem
4. tactical dispositions
5. energy
6. weak points & strong
7. maneuvering
8. variation in tactics
9. the army on the march
10. terrain
11. nine situations
12. attack by fire
13. the use of spies

sun tzu did not write a chapter called "walking away during battle." Therefore, do not.

Enough said

"All you need is love." -Beatles

this song answers everything.
I stand strong in believing such.
The lyrics... simple, but expresses not-so-simple thoughts.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

i'm glad that they beat the listener in the head with the key phrase "all you need is love," because it's exactly what everyone needs at the top of their minds.

thinking and feeling are what separate us from the animals.therefore, do not be afraid to use these gifts -to think and to feel.

Two quotes I've adopted:

1. Joey: Honesty is a big word and it changes things, and it complicates things. Are
you sure you're ready for everything that goes along with the truth?

2. Dawson: I don't know. Are we more? Are we less? All i know is it's just not the way
it used to be. Nothing is anymore.
Joey: It's called social evolution, Dawson. What's strong flourishes and what
doesn't we look behind glass cases in science museums.
Dawson: You and I. Are we museum bound?

how you know you've taken too many units...

My immune system rejects your charm.
I have vaccinated my heart from getting broken. Yet all of medicine's
advances have not prepared me to block your face
from my peripheral. Freud's concept of regression proves to exist, and equally fails
in blocking my memory of you. Each day i encounter cues that retrieve
the old memories from my mind's dusty attic. With the metaphysical
nature that the past is in the present, it takes the present and keeps me in the past.
This tension, some sort of energy field between us,
chooses not to transfer itself to another source. Nor does it choose to change
its form. But a fraction does, in fact,
morph into the water molecules that fall from my eyes, only
to evaporate into the air and recycle itself
into a cloud that little children can enjoy looking at.

Off beat, off key, out of the box, out of the norm, carry on my wayward son.
Time's ticking became the sound of loose screws getting screwed in.
Change had ensued.
The girl who used to enjoy her thoughts as well as the unpredictable directions they traveled is now a prisoner of her mind's mutation into a one-way street of reality checkpoints.

Did natural selection feel such a personality could not thrive in a mechanical world? That only a change would allow survival?
Survival by growing up makes dollars. However.
Survival by changing the world for the better rather than oneself just plainly makes sense...

The sound of time's ticking can only be rewound had it come from a cassette.
How about we just make a new cd instead?
... in which everyone can dance off beat.
