staring into the abyss

Ram and I began a conversation years ago debating the waiting for a Godot that never came. Over the last nine years we have debated countless other events, some spectacular, others not so. We have seen many strange things, weird happpenings and queer characters- really, more than perhaps any normal quarter decade old ought to. Last night, no less while crossing the insignificant, unspectacular, normal, plebian overhead from this side of the road to the other, we debated the Abyss.

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil"

But I say, my good Sir, it is still but early to speak of the Abyss. For first, we must speak of Truth.

"But Truths are but Illusions we forget are illusions....and Faith is the not wanting to knon that that is Truth."
"Life is the illusion. Death is but the Truth." - Friedrich Nietzsche

(For those insane enough to read/study/contemplate/discuss Nietzsche, you may head over to www.nietzsche.com to take a closer look. But remember, be careful where you stare, lest it stares back at you.)
