Der Übermensch

Why was god so bored after the seventh day of creation? Isn't it hard to believe in a god that wants to be praised all the time? Why is insanity so rare for individuals, but the rule for congregations? If life is so short, then why do we bore ourselves so much? How do we become the Superman? The answer is of course that we can't become the ideal. We can only fight to get closer. Self-awareness of being the Superman means you aren't there yet, and even believing that you will some day reach Nirvana means that you will never get close or your motivations are false.

So why even try? If you ask this, then you're not living. It's like climbing a mountain. Every day you either get a little higher, or prepare yourself for the climb tomorrow. So we are all a bridge with no end. I'm trying real hard to be a shepherd, but bacon tastes good and pork chops taste good, so I end up being the weak like Honey Bunny and Pumpkin. Maybe someday I can be one of the three little fonzies, but I better not get my hopes up or I'll be diverted to Monster Joe's Truck and Tow like Marvin. Maybe I'll just try to be a dog. A dog's got personality.

Personality goes a long way.
