Joy and Sorrow | Started by: -Prophet- on Oct 05, '09 23:21 |
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. Some of you say, "Joy is greater thar sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall. |

An interesting point. As William Blake said in "Proverbs of Hell," (published around 1790) "#29 Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth." It's interesting. You know, if you are in love with someone, you do not cry about it. But when it is over, you cry. Very profound for a gangster, Mr. Prophet. It's funny how people of all walks of life end up in this life of crime. |

Just thought I'd share another couple of my favorites, since I've been given the opportunity: 38. Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth. This, to me, speaks to the relativity of all things.
This, to me, speak to drugs. Not everything has to be epic. :grins: |

Well Joy and Sorrow started with a pleasure ... Pleasure is a freedom-song, But it is not freedom. Some of your youth seek pleasure as if it were all, and they are judged and rebuked. For they shall find pleasure, but not her alone; And there are among you those who are neither young to seek nor old to remember; Oftentimes in denying yourself pleasure you do but store the desire in the recesses of your being. And now you ask in your heart, "How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?" |
