Duality And Contradiction

A Personal Injury Lawyer's office,
right next to the Zen meditation center.
My head assplodes.

Isn't the Yin supposed to balance the Yang out.. or some such thing?

MockTurtle said...

Maybe I'm over-analyzing (or maybe I simply have my head up my ass), but continuing from that last thought...
Would the Yin from one actually balance out the Yang from the other, which would mean that the Zen center is full of nothing but Yang and is therefore most un-Zenlike.
Or would the Zen center contain both Yin and Yang and thereby impart nothing to the outside world. If so, then of what fricking use is it anyway?

MT: ROFL!

Even I thought about this dilemma. Both the centers have people going in with their "problems", expecting happiness.

But what is the problem (and does anyone have the answer?)

What if the owner of the Zen center fell on the pavement and fractured his ankle? Would he sit zazen? Or would he pay a visit to his friendly neighbor?

P.S: On a more serious note, WHY IS ATLAS SHRUGGED NOT UPDATED?

brilliant. reminds me of the woody allen line about cheating in his parapsychology exam by looking into the soul of the guy sitting next to him.

atlas drugged invited me for a road trip this weekend :-D let me see if i can get his old yin yanging agin.

TR: That was the "metaphysics finals" Woody cheated in :))

So is this Fear and Loathing happening in Boston?

Tabula Rasa said...

ouch yes, sorry.

if it happens - one has to look into the soul of various other Powerful people.

KM, Atlas Shrugged will be updated only when Ms Rand's progeny finally burn through the remnants of her estate and sell their copyright to Disney for a sequel starring Johnny Depp as a self-absorbed, sociopathic asshole of an architect.
Atlas Drugged, on the other hand, will be updated when the lethargy of summer finally sloughs off my geriatric bones.
Fear and Loathing in Newburyport. Wanna come?

MT: Even though it was only a slip on my part, it was a dirty, awful, shameful slip.

I'm afraid you Hunters will have to do that epic trip all by yourself as I am flying over the weekend.

...that epic trip all by yourself as I am flying over the weekend

we're all drugged.

km said...

TR: you say that like it's a bad thing.

Tabula Rasa said...

no i was simply trying to point out that we shouldn't all go on about poor atlas.
