Profound thought: Time is not an illusion

I try not to go down this road, getting cynical, but it comes with the territory. Like the bad dreams, and the sweats that follow loud bangs or when I hear a child scream. I don't sleep well. I get jumpy in four wheel drives. It would be easy to think of it as PTSD, but who isn't a little bit fucked up by the modern world?

But people get immune to violence when it's all they know, and all I know is that men can enact it everywhere. And usually they enact it in the name of some kind of God, even the God of Economics.

This was what I relied on: that while the world went to hell in a handbasket, Tasmania stayed pretty much the same, decade after decade.

The guys who look like they've worked out since their teens, there's always a story. The pursuit of power was so often revenge for men.

Life is wiser than you. That had been my profound thought upon waking at 2am. I have them from time to time, these little text messages that arrive in my brain. I think sometimes I should write them down. Thoughts for Life. But I don't.
