Terrorism uses Fear

Terrorism uses Fear to drive social or political change.
Doesn't that mean that anyone
who uses Fear to create social or political change,
is a terrorist?

"Litany Against Fear"


"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
- Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear - From Frank Herbert's Dune Book Series

"And we're very, very pissed off."


Sometimes I hear things that resonate with me. I'll post a few here, from time to time.

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden, "Fight Club"

A Small Stone On Which To Sit

"A Small Stone On Which To Sit", sometimes that's all we need. Just a comfortable place to examine on other things. A place to speak from. Welcome to my blog.
