Before the 20th century’s turmoil, Munich had already risen as a center of art and faith.

Baroque towers, marble halls, and royal ambition turned the city into a cultural masterpiece.

Always Gone

Chest enclosed
heart about to explode
please don't leave again
you've already left
I know it's not the way I think of it
but I can't help but think of it that way
I know you care about me
so why are you so far?

Why does my heart want you so
knowing you are too soon to leave
knowing I will be left with tears
and memories once lived now gone.
Through the darkness of it all
it was worth it
you are worth the pain of seeing you leave
because at least I got to see you

Why does my heart whisper
your name into the wind,
when all it does is travel the other way?
Why do you torture me so
with words of brilliance
only to be left behind
with the hands of time?

My darkest hour

I never imagined my darkest hour
to be this dark
I'm consumed in this hole
connecting my heart with my mind
combining the eyes of Horus
searching for the reason
my days are so drab

Originally, the puruṣārthas are only three-dharma, artha, and kāma. Mokṣa is left completely up to the individual. Dharma is more concerned with the business of living, and less about mokṣa, unlike popular belief.

“…………The one who seeks mokṣa is beyond the stages of life and outside society, and his conduct does not fall within the scope of the dharma śāstras.”

The Game

Why can't you just leave me alone
Just stay out of my life, it's too hard w/ you here
I have somebody else now
Somebody I can actually hold near
Do I want you back?
Why ask a question you already know
I still love you with everything I have
I don't think I will ever be able to let you go
Sometimes I can't hold back the memories of you
Remembering what you do makes me cry
I'd give anything to have you here
Forgetting your face makes me want to die
I've never had anything as good as you
But with all good comes bad
I will never have anyone love me like you
I wish we still had what we had
You want me back and you make it sound so easy
Break up with him and it'll be like it used to be?
If only I knew you could make your words come true
I'd do anything if you could just make me see
Don't hurt me anymore, I can't do it
It's not as easy as it sounds, you're killing me
I'm going to hurt regardless
Just leave me alone, and let things be
I'll love you forever, you know I will
If only I knew your love was the same
One more tear over you will leave me dry
If only I were up for the game

Boosting Your Digital Wellness: Communication

Phubbing, or phone-snubbing is increasingly common, where we snub the person talking to us in person in favour of the incoming text message on our phone.

We should provide our complete attention to the person in front of us, and if someone phubs us, we can let them know right there.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

The fifteenth edition of the Shanghai Biennale, titled "Does the flower hear the bee?," opens on Saturday, November 8, at the Power Station of Art.

The slow increase of consumerism

The idea of people as consumers took shape before WWI, but it became more common in America in the 1920s.

People have always consumed the basics of life - food, clothing, shelter. They had to work to get them, but there was little economic motive for increased consumption among the masses. Attempts to promote new fashions and boost sales slowly increased as the pursuit of wealth extended beyond the very rich.

Sing~a~Song~ of~Sixpence

sing a song of sixpence
a bottle full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened
the birds began to sing;
Who put that pastry on,
we could'nt see a thing!

The King was in the
counting house
Counting out
his money;

The Queen was
in the parlour,
Looking at him
kind of funny!

The maid was in the garden
hanging out the clothes;
where the king spends his cash,
she's the one who knows!

God Is A Queer

I bet if I told you,
You could see faith.
But you're too stupid,
Too figure him out.
The answer is right here,
God is a queer.

I bet you would fuck him,
Of course, you're a believer.
I bet you would feel him,
Of course, you raise your hands to him

You write songs for him,
But whats he done for you.
WoW! Free-will, I've sold mine,
But where's the truth at?
At least we know, Satan,
There are pictures, and diseases.
But where is God?
Who knows, but all I know is,
God is a Christian Queer
