Idolatry

IDOLATRY

You worship another along with your brothers, and carve them as statues: rather than you.

Denying your Self: gather dust on a shelf.  You shatter and crumble like stone in a jungle.

Choose a man to be cause over you:  You become them, then you lose You.

EVERYTHING CHANGES

Like the dude says, “Everything Changes.  So if you’re tired of being yourself, be somebody else”.  Who says we can’t change our “self” when we want to?  What are we, manikins?  The entire universe depends of change.  If it didn’t change it would get to boring and we’d all leave and go off and create some other universe.

“Of the Western philosophers, I have been influenced most by Plato, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche as well as the historian Jacob Burckhardt. But they did not influence me as much as Indian and, later, Chinese philosophy. I have always been on familiar and friendly terms with the fine arts, but my relationship to music has been more intimate and fruitful. It is found in most of my writings.”
