99% BLIND

BLIND
If you are inhabiting the body of a human being on planet Earth,  you are 99% deaf and blind.  
However, if you are NOT inhabiting the body of a human being, you may be able to SEE!
“Consider that you can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum. As you read this, you are traveling at 220 km/sec across the galaxy. 90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not “you.” The atoms in your body are 99.9999999999999999% empty space and none of them are the ones you were born with. Human beings have 46 chromosomes, 2 less than the common potato. …all the beautiful colors you see represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.”

DEMENTED

Pompeii_-_Casa_del_Fauno_-_Satyr_and_Nymph_-_MAN“A LOVER SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A PERSON DEMENTED”

~ Roman proverb ~

“demented” is from the Latin word:  demens ‘out of one’s mind‘.

The ancient Roman mosaic shows a Satyr and Nymph, borrowed from Greek Mythology of Pan. The mosaic tile image was excavated from the ruins of The House of the Faun (Italian: Casa del Fauno), which built during the 2nd century BC. The villa was covered in the ash of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD.  The mountain is still a very volatile volcano.  Sexual love, like a volcano, could be said to be as potentially devastating as a volcanic eruption.
