What's your favourite word?

Infinity is my favourite word. Perhaps the reasoning behind this is because it’s the most un-word-like work there is. Sure, it has vowels and consonants and a meaning. But the meaning is not simple. It is not a symbol of something, but rather a truncated interpretation. The whole idea behind infinity is that it never stops, so much so that your brain can’t think about it in it’s true form. Because then it would never think about anything else ever again. I find it enthralling that no one has, or ever will fully think through a statement with the word infinity in it.

Fuck. Dogs are awesome or whatever the fuck. I'm fuck. Imagine infinite dogs. You can't? That's what I thought, fuck. That's what so un-word-like about dogs, they are animals. Also, fuck. Nobody can think about a true dog, it's not even a symbol. Dog is art.

Debris is one of my favorite words because it is a beautiful sounding word that describes something you throw away or don't want.

>> No.1572586

When I think about dogs, my mind becomes a dog. That's what thinking is all about. Thoughts can't be reflective, they morph your brain into the subject. Woof.

Why? I'm not sure, I just like them. Genesis is a much more beautiful word than 'origins', just like how nexus is better than 'a link'.

Conviction.

I admire any sort of man who knows where he wants to get in life and is working towards getting there. Apathy is perhaps the most irritating personal quality, I find.

anyway i usually see conviction used to describe egotistic people instead.

no, no, you don't even know them. i have never seen them motivated, and i went to high school with them.

the only things they like to do is smoke pot and go to the mall to do some petty theivery. and they even act apathetic during that.

Why so Cynical? Sure, there are simple or weak-minded people out there. And when I was young I'd champion intellect over intention. Certainly a lot of good can come from those with incredible mental faculties. But I find that well-meaning, hard working, honest individuals are much more rare and much more valuable.

As far as "The End" is concerned--I find the fact that I'm going to die to be incredible motivating. Else, I have wasted what may be my only shot at existence, no?
