I have stopped seeing things as wright or wrong and now see them as either beautiful or ugly

and this is not a philosophy yet

>> No.1599878

I see things as either applying to me or not applying to me. Sometimes I will also distinguish between things according to alphabetical order.

>> No.1599889

The concept of perfection is considered beautiful (eg: me)
Imperfections are typically considered ugly (eg: zits)
If you view the pursuit of perfection as being "right", then you have arrived at the conclusion that they are just different words with the same meaning.

hey at least you're on the wright track

>The concept of perfection is considered beautiful
no

it is called beautiful

being something and being called something are two completely different things

I like this....

The fat part works
"I can resist everything except temptation."

Guitar Center eployee works too..
"I have nothing to declare except my genius. "

Stoner too...
"Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. Lawlz passs the vaporizer."

The Oscar Wilde Wit-Making Formula:

I've always admired people who are (adj.) and that's why I'm so (adj. opposite of the first one.)

Try it!

I've always admired people who are disciplined, and that's why I'm so indulgent.

I've always admired people who are studious, and that's why I'm so very lazy.

It works!

Not sure. I believe it's from Shaw. A pittance Oscar left lying around for Shaw to pick up.

Wilde dreamt of Whitman regularly.

Dreamt of Whitman dreaming of him too. Deal with it.
