i had some sort of epiphany today. it's nothing fancy; in fact, the thought crossed my mind a couple of times in the past. i just never really got 'round to following up the idea. anyway, this was what i realized today:

HOPE KILLS

yeah, i know it sounds so damned pessimistic. it's true, though. i remember reading something similar in neil gaiman's sandman series - hell is a place where people are tortured by the thought that there is a heaven they can never go to.

ironically, it just so happens that when hope dies, peace is born.

i really should learn how to practice that silent prelude.. i need to shut you out of my already overloaded mind..
