And the friend talked about how theyd go on a walk in the woods, and moody would rhapsodize about the beauties of nature :And while I read that all I could think was how incredibly awkward I would feel if someone did that :And that was only a hundred years ago what has changed so fast that if someone wants to say some pretty things about a tree or a rock, we blush like they just split their pants in front of us! :Is it rationality? :Are we all so enlightened now that we cant hold anything to be sacred? :I dont think thats it, because I know spiritual people who would also feel weird about it. :So, what happened? Who killed whatever was alive? Why has poetry been handed over to activists and obscurantists? :Why is it that, even though I am aware that I am wrong to feel this way. I cant imagine hanging out with a great writer while she says something nice about a damn flower?! :I'm sorry, but this conversation has gotten too honest for my comfort can you say something sarcastic about a shared insecurity wed be better off discussing sincerely :Death is for suckers I'm gonna live forever :There :We go/ :Caption: Smbc-comics.Com (bonus comic thanks to soonish" buyers!
