Musings on Music, Love, Life and not only
**********************************************************************************
“Love is a drama of contradictions.”
— Franz Kafka
“Life’s splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.”
— Franz Kafka (Diaries of Franz Kafka 1914-1923)
“And I leave my post of observation and find I have had enough of this outside life; I feel that there is nothing more that I can learn here, either now or at any time. And I long to say a last goodbye to everything up here, to go down into my burrow never to return again, let things take their course, and not try to retard them with my profitless vigils.”
— Franz Kafka (The Basic Kafka)
“Beyond a certain point there is no return. This point has to be reached.”
— Franz Kafka
“All I am is literature, and I am not able or willing to be anything else.”
— Franz Kafka
From correspondence with my friend.

I:
[…] I don’t like Salsa music.
************************************************************************
He:
There is no salsa music; under 80% of world songs you can dance salsa. Term “salsa music” is created by people, who don’t understand concept of dancing.
************************************************************************
I:
Since it is clearly not a compliment, should I consider it as an invitation for a fight? LOL
[…there was a link of a song, not a Salsa one…]
This one is not Salsa. And I like it whatever your opinion might be. Taste is always a personal matter. I think.
You are stuck in an adolescent stage; I will send you the explanation once I have it. Stop teaching the world, relax and enjoy today and NOW.
************************************************************************
He:
“You are stuck in an adolescent stage” – thank you for this – because this is the highest compliment possible.
The problem is that most of the people (99.99% period) never pass this stage (not only “stuck”) – they are born old – and that is the main problem of mankind - people are old – cannot learn, enjoy, evolve – and if they cannot do that, guess, who they are – right – they are our old friends – idiots.
By the way, who told you that I don’t enjoy life – this is exactly what I am doing all the time (probably, even too much) – because I am in “adolescent stage” of my life.
I see, you have last time some taste to have little fight with me – it is OK – the most important that it entertains you (I hope).
Regards & kisses (if allowed).

I:
It makes me laugh. I passed the stage of criticizing everyone & everything long time ago. I was joking about fighting. Frankly, I feel wiser than you and according to the theory of soul evolution; I am three stages further than you. Don’t worry, there are people ahead of me – I still have a long way to go and suffer evolving. That is why I said I will send you the info, once I have it, you wouldn’t believe me, of course, but it is not my goal to persuade. But it requires reading. LOL
But I don’t feel superior. To anyone. I like people and they like me – it is genuine. Passion & compassion go along way, so do love & kindness.
"Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence... someone might possibly have escaped from their singing; but from their silence, certainly never." — Franz Kafka
The reason I say you don’t enjoy life is that is how I see you. Maybe it is not the image you want others to have… but it is for you to discover your own reflection.
Kissing in virtual space is fine, but in real life, I guess, these things are taken care of. You know what is my love mystery? It is passion. I cannot go long without it. It is passion for everything, for love, for life, for music, for dancing. I have no time for teaching world how wrong it is. Besides, I don’t think the world is wrong or people are idiots for that matter. Even my seven-year-old son is capable of saying things that amaze me.
We went to see an adult movie, never mind why, and it was a romantic comedy. He asked me what a romantic comedy was and I said it was a funny movie about love. You know what he said? “Mom, there is nothing funny about love”. There. Then he cried during the movie when Julia Roberts wanted to leave the guy she was in love with. It was priceless. Love is always good answer and if there is no other meaning of life, love is a good one.
By the way, if you are a true Leo, that should be your thing – LOVE (besides being a teenager, LOL). Am I wrong? Don’t take it as insult, my son is Leo and he lives up to the promise of being full of LOVE.
All right, I am going for a walk – to enjoy the weather and the beauty of my favourite month & season.
