A tribute to pseudo-intellectualism and lack of genius

Boredom is the inescapable bedfellow of a lack of intelligence. The unintelligent mind is cursed with having to live with itself in every moment. The trick is to delude oneself about it. Stray sparks of pseudo-intellectualism help keep the faith. Faith in the illusion of existence. To dream is to constantly live with hurt. To hope is to decieve oneself. To accept it is to appreciate depression. Cynicism adds comfort. Self directed humour keeps the patronisers away. Introversion shields the ugly underbelly of the self from peeping out.

Superficiality is the best weapon in a world of mass individuality. It is opaque to the intelligent observer and excuses the self its existence. And when the lines begin to blur, when the superficiality seeps through the epidermis, that is the luckiest thing to have happened to you. Pat yourself on the back. You will survive this life without drawing attention.

Denial is good. Happiness, as defined by the world, is nothing but denial.

I hope you can survive life without drawing attention. I know I want to.

The self-deprecation is an extremely pretty ruse, enjoyably complexed, deliciously self deluded. 'Hazaar-fucked' I believe is what we are talking about. Truly enjoyable reading obviously authored by a restless and ambitious imagination. Hopefully you will keep writing.

mr anonymous. attention. it is tough to evade. if u speak from experience, you will realise even depression attracts attention. there are sympathy providing vultures all around.

ms. brokentooth. let me sum up life by shamelessly borrowing from Murphy.

"You can't win. You can't break even. You can't even quit the game."

This is the anti-thesis of denial. It can make you smile but it can't make you 'happy'.

Neither can it stop the vultures..
