The Long Trip To Tipperary Which You Can Take Your Friends On

Does anybody realise what a mess society is in? I have a lot of thoughts I need to vent on this topic, and here may as well be the place to vent them. Hmm... thought-venting. Anyway, I feel sorry for generations of the future. It all started at the beginning of time, which was surprisingly enough, on the 3rd of February. Don't ask me why. It's a fact. The Truth. What is the Truth? Who keeps it? Who knows it? And who is misled by it? Because the truth will set you free. Or so you think. Truth is, the truth is NOT everything. Hence the lowercase 't'. Sometimes it's better to live with the knowledge that you DON'T know, and that you will NEVER know. We search, but we have absolutely no idea what we should be searching for. Or rather, so many people have lived their lives before us that we know *too much* what we should be searching for. We tread the much-trodden paths of those before us, all the while helping the rest of humanity along to some sort of conclusion. Is there a conclusion? Surely there must be. There is an end in all of us, in all of Nature - it's when we die. That's an obvious end. Or is it? There is a beginning in all of us, too - it began when we were born. Or did it? Maybe there IS an end and a beginning, but they are so closely woven into the past, the present, and the future, that they don't count. They are endings and beginnings - or beginnings and endings - but they are only marking points in the great onward-rolling flow of Time. They are only a part of everyone else's endings and beginnings. And that's why the rest of us matter so much. No man is an island, as they say. But I'm off to the Music Library, so that's all for now. Enjoy!
