Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel

that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,

and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past

and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself

that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,

not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I
cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing
it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do
it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say.
Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving
forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I
would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.

TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that
human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage,
kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only
the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places
and there are so manywhere people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to
act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we dont have to wait for some grand utopian
future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human
beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.

Write it on your heart

that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.

You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the
ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the
farthest thing from it. Because cynics dont learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-
imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint
us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow.
Saying yes leads to knowledge. Yes is for young people. So for as long as you have the
strength to, say yes'.

In fact no one recognizes the happiest moment of their lives as they are living it. It may well
be that, in a moment of joy, one might sincerely believe that they are living that golden
instant "now," even having lived such a moment before, but whatever they say, in one part of
their hearts they still believe in the certainty of a happier moment to come. Because how
could anyone, and particularly anyone who is still young, carry on with the belief that
everything could only get worse: If a person is happy enough to think he has reached the
happiest moment of his life, he will be hopeful enough to believe his future will be just as
beautiful, more so.

Another way to be prepared is to think negatively. Yes, I'm a great optimist. but, when trying
to make a decision, I often think of the worst case scenario. I call it 'the eaten by wolves
factor.' If I do something, what's the most terrible thing that could happen? Would I be eaten
by wolves? One thing that makes it possible to be an optimist, is if you have a contingency
plan for when all hell breaks loose. There are a lot of things I don't worry about, because I
have a plan in place if they do.

needlessly disobeying the apostolic injunction to 'rejoice' as much as by anything else.

People who are too optimistic seem annoying. This is an unfortunate misinterpretation of
what an optimist really is.
An optimist is neither naive, nor blind to the facts, nor in denial of grim reality. An optimist
believes in the optimal usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an
optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all thats out there? An
optimist is simply a proactive realist.
An idealist focuses only on the best aspects of all things (sometimes in detriment to reality);
an optimist strives to find an effective solution. A pessimist sees limited or no choices in dark
times; an optimist makes choices.
When bobbing for apples, an idealist endlessly reaches for the best apple, a pessimist settles
for the first one within reach, while an optimist drains the barrel, fishes out all the apples and
makes pie.
Annoying? Yes. But, oh-so tasty!

A word about my personal philosophy. It is anchored in optimism. It must be, for optimism
brings with it hope, a future with a purpose, and therefore, a will to fight for a better world.
Without this optimism, there is no reason to carry on. If we think of the struggle as aclimb up
a mountain, then we must visualize a mountain with no top. We see a top, but when we finall
yreach it, the overcast rises and we find ourselves merely on a bluff. The mountain continues
on up. Now we see the "real" top ahead of us, and strive for it, only to find we've reached
another bluff, the top still above us. And so it goes on, interminably.
Knowing that the mountain has no top, that it is a perpetual quest from plateau to plateau, the
question arises, "Why the struggle, the conflict, the heartbreak, the danger, the sacrifice. Why
the constant climb?" Our answer is the same as that which a real mountain climber gives
when he is asked why he does what he does. "Because it's there." Because life is there ahead
of you and either one tests oneself in its challenges or huddles in the valleys of a dreamless
day-to-day existence whose only purpose is the preservation of a illusory security and safety.
The latter is what the vast majority of people choose to do, fearing the adventure into the
known. Paradocically, they give up the dream of what may lie ahead on the heighs of
tomorrow for a perpetual nightmare - an endless succession of days fearing the loss of a
tenuous security.

He caught a glimpse of that extraordinary faculty in man, that strange, altruistic, rare, and
obstinate decency which will make writers or scientists maintain their truths at the risk of
death. Eppur si muove, Galileo was to say; it moves all the same. They were to be in a
position to burn him if he would go on with it, with his preposterous nonsense about the earth
moving round the sun, but he was to continue with the sublime assertion because there was
something which he valued more than himself. The Truth. To recognize and to acknowledge
What Is. That was the thing which man could do, which his English could do, his beloved, his
sleeping, his now defenceless English. They might be stupid, ferocious, unpolitical, almost
hopeless. But here and there, oh so seldome, oh so rare, oh so glorious, there were those all
the same who would face the rack, the executioner, and even utter extinction, in the cause of
something greater than themselves. Truth, that strange thing, the jest of Pilate's. Many stupid
young men had thought they were dying for it, and many would continue to die for it, perhaps
for a thousand years. They did not have to be right about their truth, as Galileo was to be. It
was enough that they, the few and martyred, should establish a greatness, a thing above the
sum of all they ignorantly had.

Optimism hopes for the best without any guarantee of its arriving and is often no more than
whistling in the dark. Christian hope, by contrast, is faith looking ahead to the fulfillment of
the promises of God, as when the Anglican burial service inters the corpse 'in sure and certain
hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ.' Optimism is a wish
without warrant; Christian hope is a certainty, guaranteed by God himself. Optimism reflects
ignorance as to whether good things will ever actually come. Christian hope expresses
knowledge that every day of his life, and every moment beyond it, the believer can say with
truth, on the basis of God's own commitment, that the best is yet to come.

The worst thing in life is having parents that always stand against you and never with you.
They discourage you, instill fear in you, hold you back, push you down and never encourage
you to fly forward. When I have kids, they'll already be born with propellers with added
wings. Even if one tells me they want to go learn how to ride lions in Africa, if their heart is
driving that desire, I'd say "DO IT".
If we throw blankets over our children's dreams, we darken their world and extinguish their
desire to live. I'd rather my kid die with a wild fire in his/her heart than with a malfunctioning
or drained out fuse. Always allow your kids to keep humming with dreams and ideas that fuel
their passions. Never tell them something is impossible. If you have a really strong
determined kid, they'll go out there killing themselves trying to do the unachievable just to
prove you wrong. And if you have a weak kid, they'll give up on life and settle for bagging
Cokes and potato chips at your local grocery store.

Has joy any survival value in the operations of evolution? I suspect that it does; I suspect
that the morose and fearful are doomed to quick extinction. Where there is no joy there can
be no courage; and without courage all other virtues are useless. Therefore the frogs, the
toads, keep on singing even though we know, if they don't, that the sound of their uproar must
surely be luring all the snakes and ringtail cats and kit foxes and coyotes and great horned
owls toward the scene of their happiness.

I would like [my readers] to better understand human beings and human life as a result of
having read [my] stories. I'd like them to feel that this was an experience that made things
better for them and an experience that gave them hope. I think that the kind of things that we
talk about at this conference -- fantasy very much so, science fiction, and even horror -- the
message that we're sending is the reverse of the message sent by what is called "realistic
fiction." (I happen to think that realistic fiction is not, in fact, realistic, but that's a side issue.)
And what we are saying is that it doesn't have to be like this: things can be different. Our
society can be changed. Maybe it's worse, maybe it's better. Maybe it's a higher civilization,
maybe it's a barbaric civilization. But it doesn't have to be the way it is now. Things can
change. And we're also saying things can change for you in your life. Look at the difference
between Severian the apprentice and Severian the Autarch [in The Book of the New Sun], for
example. The difference beteween Silk as an augur and Silk as calde [in The Book of the
Long Sun]. You see?
We don't always have to be this. There can be something else. We can stop doing the thing
that we're doing. Moms Mabley had a great line in some movie or other -- she said, "You
keep on doing what you been doing and you're gonna keep on gettin' what you been gettin'."
And we don't have to keep on doing what we've been doing. We can do something else if we
don't like what we're gettin'. I think a lot of the purpose of fiction ought to be to tell people
that.

One cannot be pessimistic about the West. This is the native home of hope. When it fully

Though nihilism has been relentlessly criticized for overemphasizing the dark side of human
experience, it might be equally true that this overemphasis represents a needed
counterbalance to shallow optimism and arrogant confidence in human power. Nihilism

civilization, humans cannot alter the fact that they possess only a finite amount of mastery

fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what
they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name.

My thoughts on the descent of our moral prejudices for that is what this polemic is about
were first set out in a sketchy and provisional way in the collection of aphorisms entitled
Human, All Too Human. A Book for Free Spirits, which I began to write in Sorrento during a
winter that enabled me to pause, like a wanderer pauses, to take in the vast and dangerous
land through which my mind had hitherto travelled. This was in the winter of 18767; the
thoughts themselves go back further. They were mainly the same thoughts which I shall be
taking up again in the present essays let us hope that the long interval has done them good,
that they have become riper, brighter, stronger and more perfect! The fact that I still stick to
them today, and that they themselves in the meantime have stuck together increasingly firmly,
even growing into one another and growing into one, makes me all the more blithely
confident that from the first, they did not arise in me individually, randomly or sporadically
but as stemming from a single root, from a fundamental will to knowledge deep inside me
which took control, speaking more and more clearly and making ever clearer demands. And
this is the only thing proper for a philosopher. We have no right to stand out individually: we
must not either make mistakes or hit on the truth individually. Instead, our thoughts, values,
every yes, no, if and but grow from us with the same inevitability as fruits borne on
the tree all related and referring to one another and a testimonial to one will, one health, one
earth, one sun. Do you like the taste of our fruit? But of what concern is that to the trees?
And of what concern is it to us philosophers? . . .

We stand on the edge of national metamorphosis armed with hope and lengthy dreams, and
the desire to leave the mistakes of the past far, far behind us. Some wake to a blessed plague
of amnesia hoping never to recover the damage that was done. Some keep marching forward
feeling the heavy ache of everything they wish to change about themselves and our nation
dragging behind them like a long, prolonged shadow. And still others shine above the sun,
sparkling like raging cosmonauts, propelled by the strength and power of their pathological
optimism. I tend to slingshot between all 3 of these distinct planets with unruly fortitude. This
is where art comes in. It helps me deal with my compulsive randomness, and allows me to
abate life's repressions while exploring all possibilities of transformation and growth. And for
this, I am eternally grateful.

Fantasy, an unflagging optimism is necessary for a writer at all stages of this rough game. A
kind of madness is therefore necessary, when there is every logical reason for a state of
depression and discouragement. Perhaps the fact that I can react with utter gloom to this is
what keeps me from being psychotic and keeps me merely neurotic. I am doing quite a good
day's work today. But I am also aware of the madness that actually sustains me, and I am not
made more comfortable or happy by it.

Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of
its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in
the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no
purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no
doubt, to be something exceptional; but misfortune in general is the rule.
I know of no greater absurdity than that propounded by most systems of philosophy in
declaring evil to be negative in its character. Evil is just what is positive; it makes its own
existence felt.

Stop chasing societys definition of success and chase your own definition of success.
Success is an emotion that is experienced when you are completely fulfilled and content with
where you are in life; it has nothing to do with a specific job, a specific amount of money in
your bank account, or the quality of material possessions you acquire. You can be the richest
man in the world, but still, feel unsuccessful, and you can be the poorest man in the world,
but still, feel extremely successful.

The difference was not that one was a pessimist and the other an optimist, it was that one's
pessimism had led to an ethos of fear, and the other's pessimism had led to a noisy, fractious
disdain for Everything-That-Was. One shrank, the other flailed. One toed the line, the other
crossed it out. Much of the time they were at loggerheads, and because Willy found it so easy
to shock his mother, he rarely wasted an opportunity to provoke an argument. If only she'd
the wit to back off a little, he probably wouldn't have been so insistent about making his
points. Her antagonism inspired him, pushed him into ever more extreme positions, and by
the time he was ready to leave the house and go off to college, he had indelibly cast himself
in his chosen role: as malcontent, as rebel, as outlaw poet prowling the gutters of a ruined
world.

Here's another poem,

like all others before and after,
dedicated to you.
There isn't anything left to be said
but I will spend my life
trying to put you into words.
You who is every goodness,
every optimism
and hope.
Your love is a better fate for me
than anything I could wish for.
If you are a part of me,
then youre the best part.
And if you're separate from me,
then you are my destination.
But Ive become a weary traveller,

let us never be apart.

Life presents innumerable possibilities for love, friendship, compassion, and self-fulfillment,
but we must be willing to give in order to receive. Persistence, sacrifice, a quest for
knowledge, along with acquaintance with our true self is essential in order to achieve our
dreams. Panic, fear, worry, doubt, anger, and a negative attitude are the biggest impediments
to self-realization. The most important battle we undertake in life is not with other people;
rather it takes place in the human mind.

Nonsense has taken up residence in the heart of public debate and also in the academy. This
nonsense is part of the huge fund of unreason on which the plans and schemes of optimists
draw for their vitality. Nonsense confiscates meaning. It thereby puts truth and falsehood,
reason and unreason, light and darkness on an equal footing. It is a blow cast in defence of
intellectual freedom, as the optimists construe it, namely the freedom to believe anything at
all, provided you feel better for it.

Close your eyes and trust; go in the direction of what makes you feel authentically lighter
and brighter. There is no good or bad. Retribution feels vibrationally better than desperation.
Its better than sitting still because your energy has movement. Frustration is better than
retribution, because now youre not projecting negative energy outward, youre processing it
within. Apathy is better than frustration; at least youve reached some form of detachment.
Optimism is better than apathy. Optimism becomes happiness. Co-creative inspiration

If I tear the sun from the sky and bring all the stars cascading down, would that line of your
lips curve to a smile or a frown?
With my hands burnt to a crisp and prosthetics in their place, would you hold me close and
allow comfort in your embrace?
If I fashioned a band from that sun and those stars, would you kiss these lines on my flesh?
These irrevocable scars?
I've fashioned for you this band of infinite light! Yet upon your finger it is not nearly so
bright...
You are my stars, sun and light.
You are blazing fire in hopeless night.
You are a reflection of perfection if my soul stood a mirror.
Your affection is my infection, if only you could be nearer.
You stand as a darling of your race,
while I lay as an emotion with a face.
What I sought and seek is not easily found,
Yet from your lips escapes the perfect sound.
My name and yours, yours and mine,
Not even softest silk could be so fine.
And yet, I see you standing there,
Indecisive and fiddling with your hair.
Your eyes are downward cast and your tears and my tears flow,
What I would do to see them glowand for you to know.

She was a mimicry of a facade fashioned from the half-truths of her life. She was a beautiful
abomination, patched together from the most pristine and terrible parts she could find. She
was a black crystal of many cuts and facets whose dark glow suffocated and entranced those
it washed over. There was a pointlessness in her eyes and apathy in her stature, and further in,
past the symphonies of nightmarish screams was a blinding light. All the capability she could
ever ask for kept in a place she would never reach. She chose the ice rather than the fire,
shivering and hard with heat sparse, for while a flicker can exist in freeze's cold, it's heat will
not radiate, no matter how bold. She took my face in hands that would make ice seem warm
and whispered a blizzard into my ear, a cascading song of fear after fear. The lies she spilled,
mixed with regrets and appeal, were cloaked in the inferno of her rage, the anger, the only
thing that really made her real. This was her one semblance of life, a bottomless and endless
void of proportions vast with a calamity of fusion and fission streaking through, a mindless
hue, an emotion with a face, a darling of her race. The cracks spew darkness from within her
ever so pale skin. They congregated on her curves and flesh in black and churning rivers and
streams. They flooded every dip with blackness. They filled every hollow with unstable
curiosity, this is her release, this is when she is free. The faces of deceit always laugh, they
never wallow for their lies are a pleasure tool, her insides are contorted in laughter the same
way, just as slick, just as cruel. A crude combination of fascination, of animation, of the
darkest demons of them all. She was poetry written in pen, scratched and scribbled again and
again. Ink splattered across the page, and within those scrawled words, those small, sharp
incisions, an image can be seen, and you're left to wonder what, in the end, this all could
mean...

She was an echo masquerading as a shadow and she followed me just the same. The night
and its moon were her favor while the sunrise and sunlight the daggers that sliced her to
ribbons. She looked through half closed eyes at a blind world filled with wide eyes staring at
walls. She felt pity with no care while around here steamed a burden too dense to bear. In the
hours before dawn her tears slide to her jaw as a soft song escapes from between her cracked
lips. A barbed song of glory and woe that hugs her tight and steals her breath, each line a
quiver, every word a bind. A cage in her image meant to be broken. Destroy and recreate, scar
after scar shallow and deep, her dreams were her life and the nightmares her sleep. Dark
circles under eyes that truly see, time while awake moves more slowly. It trickles past her,
eroding her being and pulling on her delicate seams. She unravels a little each day, tucking
the threads back in every which way. In the night she is flawless and clear, the moonlight
dancing in swirls, throwing half formed monograms against her wall. She traces these curves
and whispers her story, an imprint in an ocean of churning shadows. Her imagination plays a
scene of a teary-eyed embrace on the shores of a former dream, where droplets of her soul
fell wildly below, where they and her became a part of a much larger whole. A smile rips her
taunt and clenched face, the memory of the feeling of an unreal embrace. She holds herself
tightly in a corner with no light and shudders with every pinprick of the downpour of night.
Though muffled by the glass of her self imposed flask, she hears the birds singing their song,
the natural alarm of impending light. She waits patiently for the sun, counting the half
seconds and making time slow, her grey eyes less than aimless and staring at the clouds. With
half closed eyes now shining a golden haloed blue, she watches the sky change colors from
soft to brilliant hue. The flood of life and color takes her by surprise every day and which
way. The rip cuts a little more, her restless thoughts take note and pause. She just wants to
scream. To swallow the vibrant light and flood her veins with all the color ever seen, a
strange desire to fix what is broken and yet wanting to break. She loses count of the seconds
in the wrinkles of her palms, mere dust to wind, ashes to gale. She recites the deadly seven
and stops at lust, how different from love while still the same in a twisted way. Her knees
press against the worn, wooden floor with no intent to pray, she just wants the numbness and
the pain. There are some things right and a few that are wrong, feeling the breath of freedom
tapered against the need to belong, The sun now vomits its light across the cragged horizon,
illuminating manmade lines and verdurous fuzz, her rip widens in distaste and her mind
frowns in disgust. Her heart hangs limp as a shattered mirror reflecting its own cracks, each
inaudible beat a glimmer of a glimpse of something more than her created deceit. This is
hope. In a fragile and faceted way, the reflects are abyss and ascension portrayed intertwined
with no ties holding them together. She is the half second of the transition of the beat, the
moment her heart begins to flex and show more than bones and maneuverable meat. She
wonders about the subtle difference between spirit and soul and whether she needs only one
or both to be whole. Shaking her head as if to dislodge her thoughts, they steer from the
tracks and tumble and crash, destruction and turmoil birthing creation and a new path. She
thinks about the way she thinks and comes full triangle, it feels right to be so jagged rather
than unburdened as a circle. With a sigh and a breath, she stands against the weight of her
shoulders and the unbalance of her feet. Her half closed eyes slowly fade to grey as the light
and color in the sky changes and decays. She is the moments before the sun rises and sets-1-

I gave her the world, the moon, the sun, the stars, the planets... I gave her my breath, my
voice, my sight, my life... I gave her memories, dreams, happiness... I gave her care and
compassion... I gave her everything... and with sickly curved words, venom dripping from her
fingers, she whispered in a way that would shatter glass... between her poisonous lips and her
barbed teeth, she told me a story of blackness and catastrophe... from her mind a story of
corruption and infamy sprang, her first touch an eternal perversion of my vision of life, an
absolute seduction from the face of unbearable desire herself... the chills of a dead soul are
frosty, a clouded layer of ash fills my insides, specks of dust fill my veins, empty thoughts
smother my mind... and in the final steps of our pitifully destructive dance, I will dip you low,
caress you so closely, feel the softness of your neck with the skin of my lips and, for that
single moment, lost in the promise in your eyes and the intoxicating scent of your taunt body,
I saw a sort of perfection that in any other place and light I would only hopelessly attempt to
imagine... a horribly curious vividly creative swirl of chaos and flesh eating light, a specter of
glow, paint and sound whose first inhalation is the slow quiver of last exhale, my exhale, my
final whisper... I only wish I could have done more... but so impossible was it to resist what

They flew to avoid the horrors of land and sea, Daedalus and Icarus were for few moments
free. Though the sun was Icarus' ultimate bane, we came to always remember his name. For
he felt the sun's burn, a lesson Daedalus would never learn. When he found his son's corpse
and looked upon his face, he saw a smile there fastened in place. He continued his life
wondering what his son had seen, hoping it was worth it since his dead smile was so serene.
The sun always seemed to mock him after, shining, brilliant, blinding laughter. Daedalus
grew withered and haunted by light, preferring the sea's air in the depths of night. He watched
lunar birds soar through the stars and away, forever regretting his decision to take flight
during the day. He had lost his son to the sun in a twist of anomaly, he wondered which of
them truly escaped that day, in all honesty.

Woven words are little conviction when I present myself as a man of fiction.
And you a woman of lies and deceit, stumbling forward on two left feet.
You are an exquisite figurine of an incomprehensible place,
While I, a soldier of my cause, my race.
A single sip of you would satiate thirst, hunger and empty.
Yet, you stand unmoved, comfortable knowing you could stave desires plenty.
To my heart, you are known as 'shatter.'
Between saint and sin, you are the latter.
End, not even my finest words will matter.
The still, the silence, even then, you are famine to my soul.
My chest lacks certain weight now; I simply wish to be whole.
Now, I stand before you broken, humbled and so bare,
Only to see your infinite eyes brimming with no care.
Your heart is a cauldron that burns darkest fuel.
And I a remnant of smog, the overly-bitter fool.
The man of fiction stumbles forward on two left feet,
The woman of lies weaves words of conviction and deceit.

...4-5-6: when time escapes the day in its most beautiful way. She starves for that beauty, she
longs to quench her limitless thirst, but those moments are so fleeting and their limit is her
unrest. Her bones are hollow and heavy as she takes a single step, and in that instant she is
gone, blinded by the flash of a stray ray of light, her eyes close in that moment and stars flood
her night. She falls forward slow, counting the half seconds of her descent. Her eyes stay

An outline, my body, no mass or feeling,

A dark reflection spread from floor to ceiling,
The faceless copycat stalks me day after day,
A personal eclipse of the sun never going astray,
Each movement mine in a world of its own,
Whispering shades unseen of a different home,
A skewed yet comparable story occurs every day,
Removed, though not far, less than halfway,
The whiter the glow the blacker the stain,
An ethereal cachet remaining midst the acidic rain,
A trust and intimacy of a curious nature,
I follow, it follows, we follow a stranger.

Spare parts lay scattered, every turn wrought with twisted dread, all over the ground, the
rooftops, and they were still. Some moving, twitching, enough to almost see. Half cracked
and shattered, but still visible and eerie, smiles spread wide and thin, teeth decayed and not,
paralleled by hollowed, some missing or in other places, eyes of shades green and blue and
some brown with red, but no white, just color portrayed, even if it may be dampened in every
way. The beauty in the frivolity, the polished shining gears and cracked glass illuminated so
brightly, create a portrait of terror and wonder, significance of a different sort, that only
human eyes can see and human minds can feel, but all this is something only dreams, the
ethereal concepts that fuse and mince chaos and order into a more paradoxical state, can
create and fathom and fashion and make. And yet, doubts upon anxious contradictions, my
fingers can feel the brokenness of what can be witnessed, an abyss within a void where
deeper within the still lies a glow, a half pulse of a flutter, a vein of mimicry of the reverse of
all I see, with concave eyes lost in the magnitude of image whole. Massive and monumental,
my feet dragged behind me, cuts in the dirt and spiraling tracks. And then I awoke, half my
world disappeared. So much empty within the whole, holes of sizes big and small and all
between, the loss of, what it was to be called, my dream. And then my life ended, the holes
and tears and cracks complete, empty eyes can still see so clearly, the nothingness that
everything has become, shadow and matte a combination of dark on black, in the nothingness
that all has become, it is all complete in a way opposite of what I know, a world different in
every way and stretch I see, vision upon view of different and strange, only when empty eyes,
longing for purpose dreading its meaning, gaze upon their own reflection will the last piece
fall into place, a round puzzle of pieces triangular and square, the completeness in the
nothingness can be seen, mind flooded with wonder, envisioning the antonym of a dream, and
what, in this new beginning, this all could mean. With a blink it all changes, incomplete
images appear, holes are wide and seen because you are back now, between death and dream,
interwoven as an integral part of this necessary in between seam, and when you touch, worry
creases the brow, their faces, half real and the other untouchable, your hand passes through
their skin, penetration of the most intimate sort, holding their hearts as if for sport. The
warmth, the beating, the crimson piercing blood, so beautiful, the engine that we run,
pumping and pumping only to cause the most dreaded flood. Now I drown, and I see you
drown too. Together, we are, for split seconds few, we are torn apart and disappear in this vast
blood red hue.

ecstasy while his lips felt the reed shudders of my skin. He stole my breath and made it his

he played me so well his fingers never did miss. Half-circles and hooks with my parted lips as

I always deemed myself a one chance person, if you hurt me or betray me, then I'm done
with you. As I grew older and the scars of wisdom imprinted on my soul and chest, I realized
a second chance took a monumental amount of strength and some people deserve a chance to
right their wrongs. Now, I would gladly allow another the opportunity to cauterize their
wounds at the risk of ripping open my tight-knit scars. I would bleed for you and feel alive
rather than watch with cold eyes as you decay.

My scars show you I've been strong enough to endure the trauma of the world. My heart has

And my soul, well, my soul is comprised of pristine shatter, held together only because each

The storm only grew stronger. Walls of facets became flooded with cracks, the tumultuous

She was beauty and intelligence stitched together with no seams

She lived in a world with no difference between reality and dreams
Excellence as habit, she was much more than simple flesh and bone
She walked in the way that forced her presence to be known
If I viewed the world in melody, she is the only one I would see
She could conquer that world in a day and still have time for tea
Soft lips curved in confidence spilling sweetness with every breath
Ideas remaining and growing even after the revolving dance of death
Fingers curled with the power of creation and the ease with which it came
She sat upon a throne as a queen playing the world like a simple game
She was fire, and laughter, and the warmth both of them brought
She made the idea of perfection appear as a simple afterthought
Her body danced with the tidal currents of marvelous desire
She could reach the sky in a day and then push on even higher
She was the best getting better, the absolute antonym of threshold
The words she wrote were gilded, laid heavy with amber glow gold
She was one of very many, and yet, she was the only one of them all
Her taste made my mouth water, her effect hit me harder than alcohol
She was quality, and substance, an actual angel in every way real
Her word was solid, it was a better guarantee than a devil with a deal
She was better than just human, more like power that has taken shape and form
And I the lucky one who holds her close, feels her heartbeat quicken like a storm

If only it were love... simple, infinite love
But this was more, this was bloodshot madness.

just better at hiding it." I have it on a poster but I took a Sharpie to it and scratched out the
word "hiding" because it reminds me that there's a certain pride and freedom that comes from
wearing your unique bizarreness like a badge of honor.

Once I started trying to give positive reviews, though, I began to understand how much
happiness I took from the joyous ones in my life---and how much effort it must take for them
to be consistently good=tempered and positive. It is easy to be heavy; hard to be light. We
nonjoyous types suck energy and cheer from the joyous ones; we rely on them to buoy us
with their good spirit and to cushion our agitation and anxiety. At the same time, because of a
dark element in human nature, we're sometimes provoked to try to shake the enthusiastic,
cheery folk out of their fog of illusion---to make them see that the play was stupid, the money
was wasted, the meeting was pointless. Instead of shielding their joy, we blast it.

I am no ecological Pollyana. I have borne, and will continue to bear, feelings of

wholehearted melancholy over the ecological state of the earth. How could I not? How could
anyone not? But I am unwilling to become a hand-wringing nihilist, as some environmental
'realists' seem to believe is the more mature posture. Instead, I choose to dwell, as Emily
Dickinson famously suggested, in possibility, where we cannot predict what will happen but
we make space for it, whatever it is, and realize that our participation has value. This is
grown-up optimism, where our bondedness with the rest of creation, a sense of profound
interaction, and a belief in our shared ingenuity give meaning to our lives and actions on
behalf of the more-than-human world.

It always has been and always will be the same. The old folk of our grandfathers' young
days sang a song bearing exactly the same burden; and the young folk of to-day will drone
out precisely similar nonsense for the aggravation of the next generation. "Oh, give me back
the good old days of fifty years ago," has been the cry ever since Adam's fifty-first birthday.
Take up the literature of 1835, and you will find the poets and novelists asking for the same
impossible gift as did the German Minnesingers long before them and the old Norse Saga
writers long before that. And for the same thing sighed the early prophets and the
philosophers of ancient Greece. From all accounts, the world has been getting worse and
worse ever since it was created. All I can say is that it must have been a remarkably delightful
place when it was first opened to the public, for it is very pleasant even now if you only keep
as much as possible in the sunshine and take the rain good-temperedly.

At first, one only recognizes particular instances to be worth of critique; critique appears
synonymous with rejection, implying deficiency in the object. Over time, one discovers that
everything warrants critique. This can produce cynicism: nothing is above reproach, nothing
is pure, therefore nothing has value. But followed through to its logical conclusion, this
insight inspires a profound optimism: if everything can be critiqued, then no matter how
bleak things are, there is always a way to improve them. Those who comprehend this can
pass beyond the binary of approval and disapproval to identify the conflicting currents within
any subject of inquiry. There are sides to take inside every position, as well as between
them.

No matter how bad things got, no matter how anxious the staff became, the commander had
to preserve optimism in himself and in his command. Without confidence, enthusiasm and
optimism in the command, victory is scarcely obtainable. Eisenhower realized that
optimism and pessimism are infectious and they spread more rapidly from the head
downward than in any other direction. He learned that a commanders optimism has a most
extraordinary effect upon all with whom he comes in contact. With this clear realization, I
firmly determined that my mannerisms and speech in public would always reflect the
cheerful certainty of victorythat any pessimism and discouragement I might ever feel
would be reserved for my pillow.

of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so

If we have any role at all, I think its the role of optimism, not blind or stupid optimism, but
the kind which is meaningful, one that is rather close to that notion of the world which is not
perfect, but which can be improved. In other words, we dont just sit and hope that things will
work out; we have a role to play to make that come about.

But there is a way of despising the dandelion which is not that of the dreary pessimist, but of
the more offensive optimist. It can be done in various ways; one of which is saying, "You can
get much better dandelions at Selfridge's," or "You can get much cheaper dandelions at
Woolworth's." Another way is to observe with a casual drawl, "Of course nobody but
Gamboli in Vienna really understands dandelions," or saying that nobody would put up with
the old-fashioned dandelion since the super-dandelion has been grown in the Frankfurt Palm
Garden; or merely sneering at the stinginess of providing dandelions, when all the best
hostesses give you an orchid for your buttonhole and a bouquet of rare exotics to take away
with you. These are all methods of undervaluing the thing by comparison; for it is not
familiarity but comparison that breeds contempt. And all such captious comparisons are
ultimately based on the strange and staggering heresy that a human being has a right to
dandelions; that in some extraordinary fashion we can demand the very pick of all the
dandelions in the garden of Paradise; that we owe no thanks for them at all and need feel no
wonder at them at all; and above all no wonder at being thought worthy to receive them.
Instead of saying, like the old religious poet, "What is man that Thou carest for him, or the
son of man that Thou regardest him?" we are to say like the discontented cabman, "What's
this?" or like the bad-tempered Major in the club, "Is this a chop fit for a gentleman?" Now I
not only dislike this attitude quite as much as the Swinburnian pessimistic attitude, but I think
it comes to very much the same thing; to the actual loss of appetite for the chop or the dish of
dandelion-tea. And the name of it is Presumption and the name of its twin brother is Despair.
This is the principle I was maintaining when I seemed an optimist to Mr. Max Beerbohm; and
this is the principle I am still maintaining when I should undoubtedly seem a pessimist to Mr.
Gordon Selfridge. The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things;
and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.

I shall not assess arguments and evidence for competing views about when human extinction
will occur. We know it will occur, and this fact has a curious effect on my argument. In a
strange way it makes my argument an optimistic one. Although things are now not the way
they should bethere are people when there should be nonethings will someday be the
way they should bethere will be no people. In other words, although things are now bad,
they will be better, even if they first get worse with the creation of new people. Some may

Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill
the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul
into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking
about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then,
without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great
and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find
yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are requiered for the fulfillment of
your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs. Picture in
your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly
transforming you into that particular individual... Thought is supreme. Preserve a right mental
attitude - the attitude of courage, frankness, and good cheer. To think rightly is to create. All
things come through desire and every sincere prayer is answered. We become like that on
which our hearts are fixed. Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high. We are good
in the chrysalis.

Though anger seems a pessimistic response to a situation, it is at root a symptom of hope:
the hope that the world can be better than it is. The man who shouts every time he loses his
house keys is betraying a beautiful but rash faith in a universe in which keys never go astray.
The woman who grows furious every time a politician breaks an election promise reveals a
precariously utopian belief that elections do not involve deceit.
The news shouldnt eliminate angry responses; but it should help us to be angry for the right
reasons, to the right degree, for the right length of time and as part of a constructive project.
And whenever this isnt possible, then the news should help us with mourning the twisted
nature of man and reconciling us to the difficulty of being able to imagine perfection while
still not managing to secure it for a range of stupid but nevertheless unbudgeable reasons.

Optimism is a deadly vice of gigantic proportions lodged into the human psyche by Satan. It
is the enemy of reality. We see a bad situation and optimism prevents us from extrapolating
that. Instead we think, "Oh, it's bound to get better." So we plunge into the thicket, sure that it
will thin, denied the aerial view that would show us the true, unacceptable horror of our lot.
Perhaps optimism is good for prison escapees, who have no choice but to plod on. The rest of
us are not well served. It poisons our judgment.

It is noted that from 1967 to 1995 essays on negative emotions far outnumbered those on
positive emotions in the psychological literature. The ratio was 21:1. Even those supreme
perpetrators of pop nihilism, The New York Times and The Washington Post, have a better
ratio than psychological literature. They average 12 negative stories to every one that might
be construed to be non-negative. Many of their non-negative stories, however, cover success
in sports and entertainment.

We try to show that the well-ordered society of justice as fairness is indeed possible
according to our nature and those requirements. This endeavor belongs to political
philosophy as reconciliation; for seeing that the conditions of a social world at least allow for
that possibility affects our view of the world itself and our attitude toward it. No longer need
it seem hopelessly hostile, a world in which the will to dominate and oppressive cruelties,
abetted by prejudice and folly, must inevitably prevail. None of these may ease our loss,
situated as we may be in a corrupt society. But we may reflect that the world is not in itself
inhospitable to political justice and its good. Our social world might have been different and
there is hope for those at another time and place

You may find that you have been telling yourself that practicing optimism is a risk, as
though, somehow, a positive attitude will invite disaster and so if you practice optimism it
may increase your feelings of vulnerability. The trick is to increase your tolerance for
vulnerable feelings, rather than avoid them altogether.
[]
Optimism does not mean continual happiness, glazed eyes and a fixed grin. When I talk about
the desirability of optimism I do not mean that we should delude ourselves about reality. But
practicing optimism does mean focusing more on the positive fall-out of an event than on the
negative. I am not advocating the kind of optimism that means you blow all your savings
on a horse running at a hundred to one; I am talking about being optimistic enough to sow
some seeds in the hope that some of them will germinate and grow into flowers.

I stretched out on the bed and slept. It was twilight when I awakened and turned on the light.
I felt better, no longer tired. I went to the typewriter and sat before it. My thought was to
write a sentence, a single perfect sentence. If I could write one good sentence I could write
two and if I could write two I could write three, and if I could write three I could write
forever. But suppose I failed? Suppose I had lost all of my beautiful talent? Suppose it had
burned up in the fire of Biff Newhouse smashing my nose or Helen Brownell dead forever?
What would happen to me? Would I go to Abe Marx and become a busboy again? I had
seventeen dollars in my wallet. Seventeen dollars and the fear of writing. I sat erect before the
typewriter and blew on my fingers. Please God, please Knut Hamsun, dont desert me now. I
started to write and I wrote:
The time has come, the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoesand shipsand sealing wax
Of cabbagesand kings

The term - 'Fairy-Tales' is so ironical in itself, when I sometimes sit to write love stories
with a happy ending, it usually drags me into a dilemma whether, I should even begin with a
love story at first place or not? Because honestly, I haven't seen many of them reaching
climax, most of them just die out in the mid. Then comes the concept of fairy tales or what
we say 'fiction', where nothing is impossible!
But over time, if I've realized something, it is that there's no such term called fiction when it
comes to reality! Its harsh, in-your-face-sarcastic, ironical and highly irrational. You can't
expect what's coming up next, and how it's going to blow you. In the real life, the entire
meaning of fiction ceases to exist. Conclusively, we writers, deal with harsh reality and write
lively fictions, this job in itself is so ironical but, that's life...

For action, whatever its immediate purpose, also implies relief at doing something, anything,
and the joy of exertion. This is the optimism that is inherent in, and proper and indispensable
to action, for without it nothing would ever be undertaken. It in no way suppresses the critical
sense or clouds the judgment. On the contrary this optimism sharpens the wits, it creates a
certain perspective and, at the last moment, lets in a ray of perpendicular light which
illuminates all one's previous calculations, cuts and shuffles them and deals you the card of
success, the winning number.

disappointed people on earth, for their nation infuses them with the most extreme hopes about
what they may be able to achieve in their working lives and relationships.

Dantes had entered the Chateau dIf with the round, open, smiling face of a young and
happy man, with whom the early
paths of life have been smooth. and who anticipates a future corresponding with his past. This
was now all changed. The oval face was lengthened, his smiling mouth had assumed the firm
and marked
lines which betoken resolution; his eyebrows were arched beneath a brow furrowed with
thought; his eyes were full of melancholy, and from their depths occasionally sparkled
gloomy fires of misanthropy and hatred; his complexion, so long kept from the sun, had now
that pale color which produces, when the features are encircled with black hair, the
aristocratic beauty of the man of the north; the profound learning he had acquired had besides
diffused over his features a refined intellectual expression; and he had also acquired, being
naturally of a goodly stature, that vigor which a frame possesses which has so long
concentrated all its force within itself.

Critical pessimists, such as media critics Mark Crispin Miller, Noam Chomsky, and Robert
McChesney, focus primarily on the obstacles to achieving a more democratic society. In the
process, they often exaggerate the power of big media in order to frighten readers into taking
action. I don't disagree with their concern about media concentration, but the way they frame
the debate is self-defeating insofar as it disempowers consumers even as it seeks to mobilize
them. Far too much media reform rhetoric rests on melodramatic discourse about
victimization and vulnerability, seduction and manipulation, "propaganda machines" and
"weapons of mass deception". Again and again, this version of the media reform movement
has ignored the complexity of the public's relationship to popular culture and sided with those
opposed to a more diverse and participatory culture. The politics of critical utopianism is
founded on a notion of empowerment; the politics of critical pessimism on a politics of
victimization. One focuses on what we are doing with media, and the other on what media is
doing to us. As with previous revolutions, the media reform movement is gaining momentum
at a time when people are starting to feel more empowered, not when they are at their
weakest.

The first question we must address deals with optimism, the possibility of achieving our
goal. Are we in a position where we can actually hope to effect change? Assuming we
become convinced that there are reasons for optimism, we move to the next question. Are we
cetain that we want change? The stories about EHMs, jackals, and suffering around the globe
strike raw nerves, but now we demand absolute proof that our grievances justify the efforts
change will demand. Third: Is there a unifying principle that will validate our efforts? We
look to ascertain that we are not merely seeking to impose our moral, religious, or
philosophical values on others but instead are intent on creating something of true and lasting
universal benefit. And finally: What can we each do? You and I personally need to evaluate
our talents and passions. What are our individual options and desires? How do they fit into
the bigger picture?

No matter how many movies you watch, songs you listen to, and friends you talk to, you
will never understand heartbreak. You want to disappear, crying feels like bleeding, the world
is spinning. You watch a movie you have seen ten times, a song youve listened to a hundred
times and a friend youve been talking to for a thousand days and suddenly its like your
hearing everything for the first time. For the first time youve opened your heart and your
mind, you want to listen, you want to heal others. For the first time you feel destroyed. The
word pain cannot do what you are feeling justice. It is beyond pain, beyond fury, beyond
sadness. You feel everything but nothing at once. Shocked. Numb. Empty. But I had also felt
compassion that day, empathy for a heart that I had once broke. Love for all of those who had
not broken my heart. Appreciation for all of those who had mended hearts. Happiness for all
who had secured their hearts. The day that I first met heartbreak, the day that I got my heart
snatched away from me, happens to be the day that I first found my heart as well.

Just another case of sometimes. Sometimes fates plans are different from your own.
Sometimes the beautiful things are right in your reach but you settle for things that are good
enough to make you happy. Sometimes people that should be trying harder than ever, give up
on you. Sometimes feelings are so strong that you decide its time to give up. Sometimes
giving up is the worst thing you can do. Sometimes people think it'll all work out. Sometimes
people think it'll get better in time. Sometimes people do what they can do today, tomorrow.
Sometimes the most beautiful emotions are the ones that are most neglected. Sometimes
people mistaken love for lust. Sometimes people miscommunicate. Sometimes people say
things that they don't really mean. Sometimes people say things that they mean and just say
them wrong. Sometimes people think they've moved on. Sometimes people think that they
will never move on. Sometimes people share they're lives with people that they don't really
love. Sometimes people let the people they really love pass through they're lives. Sometimes
people chose to stay alive. Sometimes people chose to live.

When our hopes for performance are not completely met, realistic optimism involves
accepting what cannot now be changed, rather than condemning or second-guessing
ourselves. Focusing on the successful aspects of performance (even when the success is
modest) promotes positive affect, reduces self-doubt, and helps to maintain motivation (e.g.,
McFarland & Ross, 1982).... Nevertheless, realistic optimism does not include or imply
expectations that things will improve on their own. Wishful thinking of this sort typically has
no reliable supporting evidence. Instead, the opportunity-seeking component of realistic
optimism motivates efforts to improve future performances on the basis of what has been
learned from past performances.

If we define optimism broadly as the tendency to maintain a positive outlook, then realistic
optimism is the tendency to maintain a positive outlook within the constraints of the available
"measurable phenomena situated in the physical and social world" (DeGrandpre, 2000, p.
733). With respect to fuzzy meaning, realistic optimism involves enhancing and focusing on
the favorable aspects of our experiences. Examples include being lenient in our evaluation of
past events, actively appreciating the positive aspects of our current situation, and routinely
emphasizing possible opportunities for the future. With respect to fuzzy knowledge, realistic
optimism involves hoping, aspiring, and searching for positive experiences while
acknowledging what we do not know and accepting what we cannot know.
