The crucial question one comes back to is the examination; without that experience is meaningless. And I think it's true that society is becoming more and more passive, less and less fired up with enthusiasm, in many spheres.

For You This Also Was True
If an experience obtained,
From a life lived free of restrictions...
Found to conflict with those who have none.
Or seem to appear to be limited.
What is the point being made,
By remaining in an argument with someone...
Who will insist what exists,
They have yet to experience...
Needs their validation with a thorough examination,
To be accepted before it is made known.
Know this!
Since for you this also was true!
So what is the best thing to do?
Agree and walk away.

Examination
Abolish examination.
And who are you to take examination?
Do you know whom to examine
And how to examine?
If you are so keen to take examination
Examine yourself first.
It is not easy to examine self
And pass the examination
scoring top.
Examine self while alone
Alone at night
Alone at bed.
Dare not examine others and
Dare not examine especially children.

If indeed, as Hilbert asserted, mathematics is a meaningless game played with meaningless marks on paper, the only mathematical experience to which we can refer is the making of marks on paper.
Will dissent be permitted? The answer to that question will determine whether the society is a free society or a fear society.

I Would Have Waited Forever
I would have waited forever -
For you to return into my life
I would have waited forever -
I would have given you everything I had
I would have waited forever -
Theres no question, no question at all
So true in the prize, would you wait for me?
All because you got burned, so you took what you needed.
Some will always turn away, say its reason enough;
Its another game of exploration.
Something calls at reverse and it comes to you;
Experience everything as it comes true.
So - it will be then
Change - it will happen
See - that we feel it
All - is completed.
Dont you want the world to stop short of giving?
Anytime of night or day, the magic things you love.
Everybody hurts when you shout, when you walk away;
Talk about it according to you.
I would have waited forever - for you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - to give you everything I had
I would have waited forever - theres no question about it at all
So in between the perfect flame of you,
This love will never let you down.
Just take it as it comes, for everything will come around.
You put your hand up: stop the flow of where youre going to;
Its another game called exploration.
How we imagine everything that we think were going through;
Its another reason to make the break.
Everyone will move with you now to the riverside;
Experience everything, but dont let the land slide...
I would have waited forever - for you to return into my life
I would have waited forever - to give you everything I had
I would have waited forever - no question in my body and soul
Forever...

Question Meaning
The meaning of the question
Is to always question meaning,
The meaning of life,
And the life of meaning.
The life unquestioned
Means very little,
Just as a life left meaningless,
Without question, has very little life.
Therefore, we all should daily question
The meaning of life,
By doing so, life's Meaning
Will unquestionably, each day, find us.
Remember: we are free to question meaning;
May we become free enough to
Let it freely question us.

Men make the mistake of thinking that because women can't see the sense in violence, they must be passive creatures. It's just not true. In one important way, at least, men are the passive sex. Given a choice, they will always opt for the status quo. They hate change of any kind, and they fight against it constantly. On the other hand, what women want is stability, which when you stop to think about it is a very different animal.

Some musings on journalism
On the scale of public aspiration,
‘journalist’ comes second bottom to ‘politician’
- in Britain; whereas in France, it
comes second top after ‘author’…
to be interested in everything, by this calling;
to be interested in everyone, by this calling;
now that’s a calling worth responding to:
to ‘interview’ by asking a first question;
to listen to the very end of answer
until in the silence after the last word,
the next question emerges in the mind; thus
to question so that enthusiasm’s touched;
and in the person who confronts you,
the glow of heart’s true love brings all the light of self
to make the room a timeless temple of humanity;
to have an interview end as such a blessing; and so,
as one exchange of heart returns to being two people,
switch off the recorder, close the notebook;
with glory-lit and humble, slightly moist eye.

This World is crucial,
This World,
This World is all crucial crucial,
This time's are harder,
Every breathe,
I can see my own graffiti,
That this world is in turmoil,
We create false and say true,
All I see is not good in killing burdens,
There are many idiots out there that can ruin,
Maybe I can compose another thought from own earthly spirits,
It's us who made this world,
Whilst we deny deny being laced up by true knowledge,
Whilst we deny the New World.

Qualifications
'Mister Pertillar,
Based upon your 'experience'...
What makes you qualified,
To fly a 747? '
I have flown in a 747 twice.
And I once walked the streets of Paris,
Behind someone wearing a Captain's uniform.
'Fabulous! Great news.
And you...
Mister Chester?
Same question.'
~First and foremost...
Giving honor to God,
With true patriotism.
I have flown 747s for twenty years as a pilot.
And I have also...~
'Very well stated Mister Chester.
However...
Did you or did you not walk the streets of Paris?
We wish to hear of your 'experience' that led to your qualifications.
Not your 'actual' qualifications!
Do you wish the question to be repeated? '

All Fired Up
A burst of speed is all I need
To set me free
A flagging start that stirs the heart
To ecstasy
Raging away I'll go far
Time waits for no man
So reach for the stars
I'm all fired up
A bolt of light that sears the night
Of things supreme
To chase the sun, forever on
And live the dream
Forcing a system aside
Too fast for this life
My mind's open wide
I'm fired up
All fired up
Fired Up
All fired up
I'm soaring, freefalling
With all emotions roaring
Like lighting, like thunder
I'll rip the world asunder
Let's go
Hold on
[Lead Break]
I'm soaring, freefalling
With all emotions roaring
Like lighting, like thunder
I'll rip the world asunder
Raging away I'll go far
Time waits for no man
So reach for the stars
I'm fired up
All fired up
Fired up
All fired up
Fired up

Society expects man to be a passive social animal who believes like the People of the Field in "Jurgen" that "to do what you always have done" and "what is expected of you" are the twin rules of life. This, is course, is not true. The wanton crucifixion of impulses, the unnecessary blocking and frustration of the drives and urges, are an evil that reflects itself in sophistication, ennui and boredom, dissatisfaction, melancholy, fatigue, anxiety and neurosis.

Hypnotized
Written by bob welch.
Its the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because theres no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel
Seems like a dream
(they) got me hypnotized
Now its not a meaningless question
To ask if theyve been and gone
I remember a talk about north
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any mans ever made that land
Then I think it wouldve showed
Seems like a dream
(they) got me hypnotized
They say theres a place down in mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he dont need an airplane or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know its a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
cause what matters most if the feeling
You get when youre hypnotized
Seems like a dream
(they) got me hypnotized
