When they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

All of a sudden many more people are reading Wise Madness. Yesterday 47 people came here to read how stupid I am. I have no idea why but I'm not complaining.
I can't think of anything particularly stupid I did yesterday. Oh no, that means I have nothing to write about.
I decided to write at least one friend that I haven't had contact with in years. I might write others. It is awkward at first but there was no real reason we stopped talking. We just drifted apart. Of course now I just need to follow through. That is always a problem with me.
Wow I really have nothing to write about today. I am feeling so uninspired.
I still have no plans for my birthday.
I wish I could write paragraphs longer than one sentence.
Tonight there is a show I've really been looking forward to. Abbie and Anthony and The Kennedys in Kelly Flint's Upstairs Session. It is a special downstairs edition in the main room at the Living Room. That is a lot of friends of mine on stage at once. I told Abbie and Anthony to make up stories to tell about me.
Have I mentioned that I am now talking to people on Facebook? Once again I'm using the internet to make friends and talk to them in real time. I missed that. I'm having a conversation now that I've had with myself countless times. Yes I think I found something to write about.
There are so many things in life that feel like a competition but aren't. It doesn't matter whether you are richer or poorer than somebody, just if you have enough for your needs. It doesn't matter if somebody likes somebody else more than they like you as long as they like you. Most importantly when you have a disagreement with a friend it isn't about winning or losing the fight. You win when you end up getting what you need. Countries need to learn that too.
OK so that took up a whole paragraph. Now what? The Mets didn't play last night so I can't write about that. Wait, writing entries isn't s competition. I don't lose when I write less than a page. So today's entry will be short and pointless. So be it. It still fulfills the purpose of writing Wise Madness you know what is going on in my brain now.
