subVerser

"Once you let go of the need to express your thoughts to anyone, you suddenly feel much lighter.You just float along blissfully, finally liberated from the burden of having any presence at all. It's sort of like getting to return to the womb"
Unattributed quote


Mainstream superheros, usually have their mild mannered alter egos, who manage to blend into their societies, and they somehow manage to keep these two identities separate. It is however their moral code of right and wrong, that forces them to use their super powers from behind their masks. In their mild mannered selves, they can be called subversive and anti social, as they hide their real selves from the society at large…

I now introduce to you to the subVerser… A subVerser has several characteristics of a superhero, but is not one. A subVerser also resembles a saboteur, but is not one. A subVerser wears a mask, albeit not a literal one, but one that effectively masks. A subVerser goes against the grain of the social fabric, but does not have a complete moral stance.

Trod On...

I went back to be at the beginning of this blog. In hindsight I still relate to the idealism of that post. Now that the period of wandering has come to an end, where has all this led to?
  • Summaries are conclusions, but the wandering is eternal.
  • There is no knowledge in the wandering.
  • It is myopic to have a destination.
  • Statistics are but the crutch of the undiscerning.
So there shall be none of that jazz on here.

The journey continues and the traveller wears different clothes now, and has himself cast deep into murky waters of this Babylonian shitstem. But with the minds eye firmly set on a bigger phenomenon that cannot be subjected to adjectives, the traveller is strangely impervious to all attempts at urban absorption.

Trodding on...

Reinvention

I was commenting about everyone being a self immolating phoenix on a friend's blog. I remind myself that this blog is about

"A lifestyle experiment ¤ an inquiry into values ¤ a surrender ¤ a moral acid test ¤ an old fashioned adventure, and all this, while trodding through this Babylon shitstem"
