memes! ******* memes! always with the memes!

you know what's harder than keeping
up with fashion trends,
or generally leaving eden
   without a ****-naked "smilie"?
having a thought for a day -

(thoughts, unlike fashion "statements"
are harder to find in the cognitive
wardrobe than in an actual wardrobe...
you'll sooner find a skeleton
in your actual wardrobe, than a thought
of concern in your cognitive "wardrobe";
it is always harder to apply "fashion"
to the mind, than it is to the body -
since trivialising certain cognitive
fashions, e.g. atheism - have such a crippling
backlash of counter trends)...

thinking is hard when you enforce it:
turning thinking into a custard,
seemingly effortless like a ballett
dance...
               nonetheless crippling...

               "not thinking" is the best
appropriation of actually thinking:
then you think about thinking -
and that's the buddhist short-cut
to this current *fad
"whatever the hell
that means" of mindfulness...

the  grand presupposition
of thought prior to thought prior to execution -
   not thinking? not my problem:
moral choices become a platitude
akin to the belgian enterprise of
inventing a mountain, let alone an incline
akin to a meagre hill
when you begin to think about
thinking (narrative)
       or begin to think about
                       thought (coordinate).

suma summarum:
to think about thinking -
   or to think about thought -
well, that's just hyper-inflating ethics -
or the moral choice -
                    to think about 'ought
is to transcend the dogmatism of ethics -
not so much within the realm of pathos
of making your own rules...
        let's just call it:
putting a ****** on your ego,
and ******* the ******'s worth of thought
without consequences...
  the ******? that's what
          thinking about thought suggests:
otherwise known as counter-narcissism.
