Delusions: or watchamacall-em'

The unreflected life is not worth living (Socrates)--The unlived life is not worth reflecting upon (Buddhist) No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities. – Christian nevell bovee-

Batman Begins-do I too?

"It's not what's underneath but what you do that defines who you are." - Batman Begins.

Rather contradictory to the final line of my previous post dated 16/5/2005.(Purpose-ful update)- the quote by Rick Warren.

Sometimes being a Christian may get one so puffed up and self-righteous inside that nothing shows on the outside. Things get internalized too much and we think we are alright...infact, the best man can be and therefore see no need for improvement. We think we have all the answers and maturity to get on with life. Cynicism sets in and unwittingly, we close doors to ideas, advice, and worst of all, people. ~people whom we are to reach? Ah, the irony.

So which quote holds more weight? I'm thinking the former. Or is it unfair to compare the two somehow?

"Can I be somebody
Not what they want me to be
Just a pale reflection
Of what You want me to be

I know one day I will be free
My cynical clothing will fall from me
Flying high in the blink of an eye
Mezzamorphisy.
" - taken from Metamorphis by Delirious?

On a differrent note, Pizza Hut has finally come up with an offer to rival Domino's "Buy 1 free 1" Gold card offer. Hopefully, it'll be here to stay. My Domino monthly rituals can finally (hopefully) be over.

For the uninitiated, my family are regular patrons of Domino's...we utilize the Gold Card every month. It's killing me but i don't have much say in it. I prefer Pizza Hut's pizzas but my whining always falls on deaf ears just because Domino's is more economical. Hopefully things will change now. :P
