Oeuvre of Passionate Hands

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

-J.R.R. Tolkien

Surely we all in one way or another thought or actually even given off a lot of energy wishing someone to "drop dead". How can we not think of such an atrocious end for someone we incredibly hate? By all means I will make sure that I owe this particular person nothing that can be taken against me and his/her death shall be a reward.

But of course that’s just me and my "evil twin" thoughts.

I can’t give life, at least not right away on demand, and therefore I must not wish (too hard) for someone else’s loss of it.

I don’t want to be the one to take blame for the coulda would have been’s so I step back with a little bow and leave faith, if not fate, take its course.

Life is tricky isn’t it?
You want things you can’t get.
You get things you don’t want.
You get things you used to want but not anymore.
When you finally got what you want, you want something else.
When you finally want what you get, you get something else.
Funny how we make life seem absurd when it’s not.

This text actually got me searching about "A Stoic Wandering" and I found a result about Wandering in Ancient Greek Culture. I have yet to read the review but for the moment my eyes are getting heavy (and that’s no hypnotic chant). I slept early today when I should have slept last night. Maybe I’ll wake up early tomorrow, but then again if another crazy idea comes crashing in (like playing a couple of PC games, followed by another game, and another.. and yet another) maybe I won’t be able to wake up early tomorrow morning. In any case, if I do get to wake up tomorrow at around 8 tops my body would probably refuse to get up. Stoical? Haha! Not really. But enough of that. Time for some shut eye.
