Live in South Africa (white (apparently some people were confused))
Write for a living/death at various ad agencies.
Bald.
In the time of your life
live so that in that good time
there shall be no ugliness or death in your life
or any life that your life touches
seek goodness everywhere
and when it is found
bring it out of the hiding place and let it be free and unashamed
place in matter and in flesh the least of the values
for these are the things that hold death and must pass away
discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption
encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have driven into secrecy and sorrow
by the shame and terror of this world
ignore the obvious for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart
be the inferior to no man
nor of any man be the superior
remember that every man is a variation of yourself
no man's guilt is yours
nor is any man's innocence a thing apart
despise evil and ungodliness
but not men of ungodliness or evil
these understand
have no shame in being kindly and gentle
but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill
kill and have no regret
in the time of your life
live so that in that wondrous time
you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world
but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it

The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey – don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because – it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
