Purity

Purity is the enemy of time. Only in a vacuum can one die of old age and remain innocent. Guilty is what all of us are. Guilty of complacency, guilty of selfish numb ignorance, guilty of being human (I think they call it). But for me it's no excuse; if anything, it's abused in overuse. Quite possibly the least human of human beings. A sad song sung by those left seeing instead of believing. I know I'm not the first, and I pray I'm not the last, to discover the words rarely overheard outside echoes of the past.

Guilt or innocence shall be the province of ONE only and not for me to say. All I can do, is to utilize my own good and reasonable sound judgement and make good choices when they are called upon to be made. Then, let the chips fall where they may! The Good Lord knows what I am doing.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say about this piece?

[Perkele.7885]

I am saying that it is not for me to judge what is or is not guilt on my part, I need not to live in a vacuum. I need to make wise choices with that option that given to me by God. None of us is innocent. Do you understand me now? I do not exactly agree with your premise.

[Jonny The Savage]

You're completely missing the point. But thank you for inserting your beliefs into something that had nothing to do with them lol.

[Perkele.7885]

Oh well. Age will sometimes do that to a fella!

[Jonny The Savage]

It's essentially just saying that by living in this wicked world of ours, we lose that tabula rasa we're born with, and arguing for people to live better lives and not worship false idols; otherwise we lose what makes us human.

[Perkele.7885]

from a clean slate do not worship false idols do not risk our humanity

[Jonny The Savage]

That is exactly what I'm saying, sir.

The closing line is oh my
yes we are guilty of something always
but nonetheless we can aim for innocence
and we can come close
if you can hit innocence once a day
thats good
The last line i still need to think ..... i am gonna write it in my notebook because this needs time to get

Isn't it innocence to claim you are guilty ?
Correct me if i am wrong :)

[Jonny The Savage]

What's got you on the last line?

And I think you are correct, as far as I can tell :D.

[B]

What does it mean the last line?

[Jonny The Savage]

That we keep drifting away from the hard earned wisdom of our ancestors. It's fairly obvious to anyone that studies history objectively. Few things have ever made me feel so isolated.

i know the feeling
i go out and i meet alot of people
and i love people
but i am always the silent one in the room
they all ask why are you quiet
i answer
why not

[Jonny The Savage]

I don't really meet a lot of people.
But I'm okay with that, I'm something of a hermit at this juncture in my life.
Yeah, me too.
I never know what to say.
Sometimes to listen more than you speak.
I swear some people talk just to hear themselves speak haha
