Belief needs not us,
rather in needs only to be what it is, regardless

Our needs seem not to matter,
only our wants. Overindulgence of wants can lead to it's loss, only when wanting it will it need to be found. We are doomed when we do not need it.

Others words are our words.
I breathe in our exhalations. "I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail Yes I would, if I could, I surely would I'd rather be a hammer than a nail Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would Away, I'd rather sail away Like a swan that's here and gone A man gets tied up to the ground He gives the world its saddest sound Its saddest sound I'd rather be a forest than a street Yes I would, if I could, I surely would I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would" |

Only doubt persists longer than belief.
I believe in nothing because nothing is sacred. Nothing endures. Before there was anything, there was nothing, and when everything goes away, nothing will remain. I spend a great deal of time thinking about nothing. Nothing can comfort me, nothing can console me, and nothing can satisfy me. I stop for nothing, stop at nothing, and pray to nothing. My church is nowhere and there is nothing on the altar. All Hail Nothing! It's better than anything.

Two weeks ago, I entertained a completely different basis for belief.
Its fluidity might be one of its most charming aspects. I might now even have to look for ceiling cat.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
I believe that's very funny. I believe humor is very important to our species. I'm still a little unsettled that "lie" lies in the middle of the word, in English.

I know,(believe) that I received the most loving, magical,
sparkling, crackling, heart-filled, smile-producing, hairs-on-my-arms-standing-up, letter and card yesterday in the mail, from my most beloved lover. I re-read it at least five tmes in the middle of the night. Love believes in love, always has, always will. |

No.
The candle persists in NOT glowing. The FLAME glows though.

There are no such things as light bulbs. They're dark absorbers. When activated, they suck the dark out of an area in straight lines. Shadows are places that are obstructed from the dark absorber. Eventually they will fill up and refuse to absorb any more darkness. This gives us the opportunity to prove that dark has mass, because when you shake a full dark absorber, you can hear the dark rattling around.
