Unpredictability, too, can become monotonous.

Transcendency
Life at times is just too hard
Tolled by duties, or its obligations that bombard
Responsibilities monotonous, tiring and immense
Breathing feels taxing and environment dense
Days become arduous, nights burdensome
Unpredictability rendering brains numb
But still stand unbowed some Iron men
Solemnity and sincerity to life stays unbent
Hope‘s their weapon, and optimism crown
Life will test, but would never frown
Salaam (salutations) to such spirited beings
Whose forbearance is meriting and patience worth seeing
Smiling and letting the hard knocks pass by
Such dignity and principles, one can't defy
Left lasting visuals for people around ‘em
How many have u seen, such living gems

Not A Monotony
the sounds of monotony are
daily and
routinized like the waves of the sea
of the same height
and frequency,
until one day
something unexpected happens
like
many drowned
so many children buried in the mud and
mothers are crying on the streets
not for help anymore but
for a chain of griefs
there is a scream and this is not monotonous
it stabs our hearts
and makes us ponder
deaths can never be monotonous
our own death in the future
unique and unimaginable and we shudder
it is this nerve that has no ending

Monotony
One monotonous day is followed
by another monotonous, identical day. The same
things will happen, they will happen again --
the same moments find us and leave us.
A month passes and ushers in another month.
One easily guesses the coming events;
they are the boring ones of yesterday.
And the morrow ends up not resembling a morrow anymore.

If you put yourself in a situation of unpredictability and then find that it's completely possible to accept it, then you become an observer.

When it comes about acting I love the connection with other actors and the unpredictability within the structure. In 10 different takes, you can do a scene 10 different ways. Capturing spontaneous moments is what it's all about.

You are what you do. If you do boring, stupid monotonous work, chances are you'll end up boring, stupid and monotonous. Work is a much better explanation for the creeping cretinization all around us than even such significant moronizing mechanisms as television and education. People who are regimented all their lives, handed off to work from school and bracketed by the family in the beginning and the nursing home at the end, are habituated to hierarchy and psychologically enslaved. Their aptitude for autonomy is so atrophied that their fear of freedom is among their few rationally grounded phobias.

'Press Your Luck' was probably the most exciting because of the unpredictability of the game and how I won on one of the three days on the very last spin against all odds. It was one of those great unpredictable game show moments.

The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past.

Desert Tree
Starving for water,
Shade an unimaginable luxury,
Surviving blistering heat,
The soul quickly perishing.
Infertile soil is my foundation,
Once nature's prosperous womb,
I am her only child now,
Isolated against this monotonous hell.
Starving for attention,
Contact an unimaginable luxury,
Surviving every lonely day,
The soul quickly perishing.
Cold concrete is my foundation,
Once a path to pass,
I sleep upon her now,
Isolated against this monotonous hell.
The Swap
Past drift though interminable,
but the challenge along got lost
Prodding me on the uncharted
and to implausible head on accost
The consequences don't inhibit
except the transitory lead on part
The reserves are nearly expended
and the dividends yet to start
Unpredictability of uncertain future
none knows what might produce
If it rewards with expectant pleasures
or predicaments vaguely abstruse

Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.

Should l go on playing bridge and dining, going in the same old monotonous circle? It's easy that way, but it's a sort of suicide, too.

To emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create hell. In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line.

A Work Of Fiction
reviewing the past pages of life
you find out that most of the chapters are sad
the characters are actually confused
they are not certain what shall happen to them
at the conclusive page
you have subjected them to all doubts
in such a suspended animation
and they are attuned to your unpredictability
some of them do not expect much
they know your temperament
and the patterns are like the foldings
of a brain
like a labyrinth of one misinterpretation
to another
the characters understand you
all they ask is that you live and even if they
all die at the end
they implore thA Work Of Fictionat you lengthen this
novel of life
because even if they are just your
works of fiction
in truth
they all love you

If the painter works directly from nature, he ultimately looks for nothing but momentary effects he does not try to compose, and soon he gets monotonous.
