Ignorance is easy.
Acceptance is tough.
What better way to deal with life's inconveniences, then, to face them in their bareness like a hunter aching for fresh meat, looking the prey in the eye.
That way, muscle is built and greater prey may be captured.

Which one looks better?

THROUGH LIFE IS

Today is the 42nd anniversary of King Crimson's album Discipline, which had the song Thela Hun Ginjeet.

The amount of assertiveness or conviction a person conveys about an idea is irrelevant to the idea's merit.
Crazy how many people get away with this. No one will really notice if you just pretend enough to appear right.
I recommend The Informant! (2009) so you see what I mean.
Today is the 13th anniversary of the Manila hostage crisis, where a Philippine National Police officer hijacked a tourist bus in Rizal Park, Manila due to supposed injustice in his dismissal.
This photo was taken a day after the incident.
Eight hostages died.
