full court press

at first
he thought there was no way he could shoulder the load
but
after shifting the weight distribution on his back
he was able to carry it beyond his destination

with ease



2 people working toward the same end are already working together by default




his prayers were answered in the form of a question
in this regard a dialogue was formed

it is said that throughout his days he was always mentally active
and encouraged thoughtfulness among those with whom he crossed paths





a hard head leads to your ass getting beat





he understood that taking on the responsibility would suggest his imminent demise
he hesitated on this for some time
but in the end - the alternative was far worse





throughout his days - he met a number of people who were unafraid of death
but
it grew clear after some time that this had nothing to do with pain
and that pain - by definition - was not enjoyable without exception

pain requires one to pay attention

because it is so demanding - it is avoided at all costs by a people who resent being told what to do





the lesson of pain is humility





he tilted her 23 degrees on her axis and shone down for half a day before she turned over





we die laughing
not at anything in particular
its just that the situation is ridiculous





i know a guy who tricked himself so well that he forgot that he tricked himself
and every time he thinks that maybe he tricked himself
he says "No way. That's nonsense. How the fuck could I have done that?"






if you find yourself facing something that you need to do
and you find yourself not wanting to do it
the only real choice you have is to trap yourself

one of the great lessons of fasting is that the lack of food and energy causes one to determine what actions are important and significant
and which actions can be done without

this is one of many examples of how a person can trap himself






another way of trapping yourself is to continually get yourself into situations where you are in over your head or you feel your life is at stake





it is possible that the end objective is actually to find a way to keep going
