On the current condition of my heart

"Real compassion kicks butt and takes names. If you are not ready for this fire, then find a New Age, sweetness-and-light, perpetually smiling teacher. . . . But stay away from those who practice real compassion because they will fry your ass, my friend."
--Ken Wilbur


Justin: My heart is dying.

Justin's inner voice: Shut up, you whiny little bitch!

Zed: If it's dead, call Zed.

Balthasaar: Death is merely a subset of life, a false-dilemma. And life is always the alchemy of paradox.

Eschanihil: Life is never a single note, it's a chord. Death is always louder than life.

Laurie A.: & so it goes, it goes that way.

Justin's stomach: I think I'll have a ham & cheese sandwich on rye bread.
