is a madman, and he wrote the following:

Physics

I will say it. Physics is hard as hell. There's all the formula memorization of course but also the perpetual desperate attempts to not only rectify but to derive seemingly made up formulas to problems that do not seem to be feasible for people without calculators in their minds. It's forces and vectors and sines and cosines and math above all else. I'll say it again: it's hell. Yet, there is still an elegance to it. An intuitiveness and understanding that is enthralling to individuals predisposed or determined to make sense out of what else is stuff from the back side of a bull. Unscrambling all the variables and numbers and operations leads to a knowledge of the world that is wholly unobtainable by participating in other disciplines. Yes, physics is hard as hell, but one can either be reborn from the fire or burned by it.

Why do people complain about their lives when the Alternative sits at their doorstep?

Why do all of you teenagers whine endlessly about how this personified monster that is Society? You speak as if Society is some animate entity, as if it has any life, any power, any sentience than that which humans give it. Society is not some monster lurking in the shadows, ensnaring and breeding contempt for whatever nonsense mainstream media contorts from truth. If you say that Society is a monster, then you call humanity a monster. There is no difference between this "horribly unfair" entity you like to point your fingers at than there is the person to whom the fingers are attached! They are one and the same! I believe it is said that we are to, 'Be the change we want to see in the world.' So do it. Be change. Set a positive example for how the world should work, not as some purported external force makes it. The next time you think of something lurking in the shadows, perhaps you might think of society, or perhaps humanity. Fear not, they are one and the same.

Blind, Deaf, and Mute Pigs

Sometimes, I wish I were not but a soul
who was anonymous, who did not care to seek and lust the riches of the world. Sometimes, I wish I had no brain, no eyes, no ears to sense the rain that falls in sheets and sheets and leaves me feeling like I’m broken. Sometimes, I wish I had no eyes to cry, nor ears to hear, nor mouth to say goodbye. For what good washes all away the badness of a tongue? But how so wicked can be words that good can’t scrub them out? For why, I beg? For what, I beg? is the avail of speaking to someone who has no eyes to cry, nor ears to hear, nor mouth to say goodbye? Why waste your time, why struggle with a foul and loathsome swine as I?

Perpetual loneliness can arise from a gifted mind. But, then again, one need not be gifted to be lonely.

[leotalento]

I was once like you, boy. I was full of 'unquenchable' light and blissful ignorance of the horror that is the world. I was once like you.

"The Heir of Water" Leonardo Talento

I have come to determine that only stupid people call other people stupid.

[leotalento]

If every blue-eyed person came from the same ancestor, all blue-eyed people would be consanguineous. Children from consanguineous relationships are usually, in some way or another "deformed." And it would be impossible to tell every person stemming from blue-eyed parents that they were deformed because they're not. Everyone is flawless in his or her own ways. No matter if you have blue eyes or brown or red or green, treat everyone equal.

The Dreams of Death

My heart, it beats My tongue, it speaks— My endless screams Do fill my dreams A life short-lived A time short-thrived The haste goodbye Of good for sin All time does die None shall survive The waking of the creatures in my dreams.

[leotalento]

But who is to determine what is wrong and what is right? Is that right self-bestowed by the entities for which you are a pawn? I am quite envious of them!

The Abacinator Leonardo Talento

[leotalento]

Critic: Are you freaking crazy?

Leo: Yes, yes! I am quite crazy! So are you. So is Obama. Everyone is at least a little crazy in his own way. The question you should be asking is if I am very crazy.

Critic: Then are you very crazy?

Leo: Absolutely.

(Un)Conforming to the Norm

Why must I conform to the norm that is society?

Why can't I be original; why can't I just be me?
