reply to Nietzsche's quote, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

Semanticality

Wittgenstein replied to Nietzsche, "It's all semantics, my confused friend. What does 'that which does not kill' mean? What does 'us' mean? What does 'stronger' mean? God is in the details. For instance, if 'that which does not kill' means 'nothing' and 'us' means 'everything,' as arguably there is no actual separation or difference whatsoever, and if 'stronger' means 'more developed,' then the answer to your philosophical mystery is 'most certainly' - for everything keeps evolving; the force of evolutionary growth exceeds the force of evolutionary decay. But of course, this is but one of an infinite number of answers to your question, all of which contingent upon the precise definition of each term within your semantic equation." Nietzsche laughed.

Freeze my tears and numb my heart so that I feel this no more

Frozen petals fall

Coloring the world in red

A dimly lit grave

On a cold winters day

When did the news become nothing but a smear campaign for the highest bidder?

Tell us the truth

Unbiased news

I assure You

we Are smart enough

To form our Own opinions

We do not Need yours

Crammed down our throats

force fed

Your lies

Spreading ignorance

To justify your existence

Are you that afraid of truth?

Or perhaps

You have nothing better to do?

Than to destroy

The very thing

You claim to love?

Create a limerick on any topic of your choosing. It can be serious or humorous. A limerick is a short poem of Irish origin which consists of 5 lines in an "AABBA" rhyme scheme: 1st, 2nd, 5th lines rhyme with each other. 3rd and 4th lines rhyme with each other.

Limerix

I'm thinking in space and in time,

Both are needed to make this thing rhyme,

But should it fall flat,

I'll leave it at that,

And admit the fault is all mine.

Why Am I Still On Prose.? BECAUSE IT’S TOO DARN ADDICTIVE

I’m drowning in flashcards, oh no!

This definitely isn’t for show!

I have no time,

To make this rhyme,

But I did it so!

Write about the dress that never got worn

The Lost Little Dress

I hung from the rack

In the dark

Smashed between my brethren who

Were tossed into a civil war

Fighting over who would be worn that day

But, I stayed to the side

And grazed your arms

As you walked by

Hoping you would pick me

But instead you

Forgot about me

You left me in the dust

Lost and forgotten

Until you found me one day

But by then, you had grown too big

And you threw me away into the garbage bin

Fan Friction

This is a topic I'm glad has arisen, as I have strong views regarding it, and the kittens that partake of it.

I have encountered Fan Fiction several times on another site and I've heard arguments both for and against it.

I stand firmly on the side of live and let live as I see no harm in it. As far as I am concerned, an interesting write is a good read whatever the topic, and if people wish to assume roles and write about imaginary worlds with whatever theme they see fit to adopt then that's fine with me.

I see little difference between people playing with toy soldiers and Fan Fiction, with the exception that the latter involves producing written work which is just as engaging to the participants as the former.

I've gone on record before in giving my support of Fan Fiction and I'll do the same here, I say leave those kittens free to play as they wish, they're not causing offence and more power to 'em.

There are far more serious matters open for debate in this chaotic world than this, and a good write is a good read for someone out there.

Now I have to go, Princess Zelda is playing up again so I must quest for the Sacred Tome Of Peace so we can all get some shut eye!

The Eviction Sign Inside My Mind

Why am I so obsessed

With someone who probably

Doesn't even know I exist?

Countless moments have been spent

Thinking about you

That I can never get back. Yet,

I still spend time

With you inside my mind.

And you don't seem to notice the eviction sign.
