seriosity

i have never been more serious.
i have never been in a more serious situation.
and yet, all my plans, seen through uninitiated eyes, must seem totally farcical.

i must find the happy medium between the seriousness of my intentions and my expectations...

and the great, silly, celebratory madness that is life.

i give myself pause, when i say such things as "i am clearly a discordian"; for while a true discordian, when asked the straightforward question, "can you not be serious even for a moment?" must answer only in the absurd, i find that i can for a moment be serious, i can for a time be absolutely straightforward and say without a shred of irony or ridicule exactly what i want from life, from love, from me, from you.

i approached my life and my love in a ridiculous fashion four times but on the fifth i was serious as a vulture.

i am tasked now with the most serious task i have ever undertaken, and while the result may well be clothed in the most sublime of lightness, at its heart will be the most sacred and heavy of all my intentions, dreams, demands, and hopes. for it is written:

The human race will begin solving it's problems on the day that it 
ceases taking itself so seriously.

...

And when men become free then mankind will be free.

May you be free of The Curse of Greyface.

May the Goddess put twinkles in your eyes.

May you have the knowledge of a sage,

    and the wisdom of a child.

Hail Eris.
