Weekend! Yay! I look forward to weekends as it gives me time for myself. I'm going to spend the whole day practically doing nothing. Just chilling in front to of the tv and maybe catching up with some friends. Would that be considered doing nothing? Emm.. Today, by god's grace was a smooth day. Issues did arise but all was under control.
Toothache has started to bother me. When you have a tooth ache everything else takes second place. There are often many things you wouldn’t think of trying when you really need to get rid of a nasty toothache but apparently whiskey can be used as a cure. Be that as it may it’s too distracting to allow me to be terribly creative at the moment so allow me to just ponder on something of great value. HONESTY.
Honesty is the recognition of the fact that the unreal is unreal and can have no value, that neither love nor fame nor cash is a value if obtained by fraud -- that an attempt to gain a value by deceiving the mind of others is an act of raising your victims to a position higher than reality, where you become a pawn of their blindness, a slave of their non-thinking and their evasions, while their intelligence, their rationality, their perceptiveness becomes the enemies you have to dread and flee -- that you do not care to live as a dependent, lest of all a dependent on the stupidity of others, or as a fool whose source of values is the fools he succeeds in fooling -- that honesty is not a social duty, not a sacrifice for the sake of others, but the most profoundly selfish virtue man can practice: his refusal to sacrifice the reality of his own existence to the deluded consciousness of others.
