disputatious lunacy

Science deals with observable phenomena. We have words for shit we might not yet understand. An "apparition" may be a trick of light, an imprint playing itself back... or perhaps a ghost, phantom, spirit, whatever you call it... conscious energy that remains after neurological decomposition... dead people, et cetera.

Is it absurd to entertain such notions or to actively believe in the paranormal? "Yes, it is." you say? Hogwash! You probably believe ridiculous ideas like our Earth being a perfect sphere or that omnivores (such as humans) require animal products in their diets, but you can't imagine that matter and energy can only be converted, never destroyed? If that sounds preposterous, look at a compost heap, then at the plants growing from damp soil!

That's what I call proof of life after death, reincarnation, transmigration of the soul. You are the decisions you make and the food you eat, the only person you can defeat. Are you a graveyard or a garden?

  1. The Moon has my mind wandering and I've been wondering why some of us feel haunted, or simply daunted. Inner-demons are dastardly indeed! Can the dead also at night intercede?
