Observations on the world and its inhabitants
I’ve been told by many in my very limited circles that epic music is evil and only listened to by weird people. Well, weird I may be but ‘evil’ I am not – except to stupid people! Stick with the ‘evil’ thing. How do people come to ‘know’ that epic music is evil? They cannot … Read more
Just to be clear, I’ve done nothing more than try to help people to open their own eyes. But the problem is not with ‘the eyes’; it is with the brain or mind. One cannot open a brain or mind, even if one could pry open people’s eyes. This thought comes to me on reflecting … Read more
