Voyeur

Had a sleepless night yesterday. Woke up about 3 times not because of nightmares but simply different thoughts. Once it was La Vache, another time it was Shanghai, and the third time I was thinking to myself: GOd must be having a good time watching us all entertain him on this little stage called planet earth. I, the small humble creation, tend to look round me sometimes and find most people's lives amusing. That is why the movie industry will never die.

And this is why I would like to share with you a little from Alexander Pope, the short poet.

From An Essay on Man Epistle II:

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,
The proper study of mankind is man.
Plac`d on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic`s pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a God, or beast;
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reas`ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such,
Whether he thinks too little or too much:
Chaos of thought and passion, all confus`d;
Still by himself abus`d or disabus`d;
Created half to rise, and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl`d:
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! ....etc.

Till we meet again,
