...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

^^That girl is pretty clever.
Through many of samsara’s births I hasten seeking, finding not the builder of this house - pain is birth again, again.
O builder of this house you’re seen, you shall not build a house again, all your beams have given away, rafters of the ridge decayed, mind to the unconditioned gone, exhaustion of craving has it reached.
Dhp - 153, 154

Live in joy, In love, Even among those who hate. Live in joy, In health, Even among the afflicted. Live in joy, In peace, Even among the troubled. Look within. Be still. — Dhammapada
Being a human being is not an end in itself. It’s only a transition. It can never be a perfect state in itself. It’s merely a convention. — Luang Por Sumedho
Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing. — Euripides

Not really a fan of the band, but I happen to think this song is incredible.

Love it!
"The point of meditation is to essentially push the ego into a corner so that it has nowhere else to go. The ego is based on attachment—our attachment to the body and to ideas. When the ego is cornered and has nowhere to go, the only thing one can do is to put it down. And when one puts down the ego, then that is enlightenment."

I sat and watched two lovers say hello
They kissed and walked away from lonely me
They didn't want to share
The love that's being there
With poor lonely Mister Misery
I walked along the beach alone and blue
I turned to gaze across the empty sea
As memories drifted by
I had to stop and cry
For poor lonely Mister Misery
The story of my life is not worth reading
For lonely is the only word you see
Three's a crowd when lovers get together
But I'm alone so one's a crowd for me
I guess I'll move along where no one knows
The name that everyone's been calling me
The name I'll try to lose
Together with the blues
Of poor lonely Mister Misery
The name I'll try to lose
Together with the blues
Of poor lonely Mister Misery
I'm poor lonely Mister Misery
Call me poor lonely Mister Misery
Just poor lonely Mister Misery

REM's classic "Losing My Religion" digitally reworked with a major scale. Awesome.
Metta,
Retro.
If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Hates_Us_All wrote:God Hates Us All was set for release on July 10; however, concerns regarding audio mixing, the album cover, and the band's label—American Recordings—changing distributor, caused the release date to be delayed until September 11, 2001.[21] The release drew an unintended connection to the September 11 attacks, which was the second time Slayer caused controversy towards one of their releases—the video for "Seasons in the Abyss" was filmed in Egypt and released prior to the Gulf War.[4]

Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
