Roll the Dice-Charles Bukowski
“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”

I hope Bukowski went all the way with JESUS before he died, but, to my understanding, I don't see or hear indications that he did; however, he was my favorite poet... So honest and blunt in all he said.... Brother James 🙏

Hank was a slob, a drunk...a genius...all in one. This voice is too rich and strong for a Bukowski reading...Bukowski’s voice itself was the best vehicle for his prose&poetry.

What will be the point if you loose all the ones you love 🤔

[@fk-hi6gs]

It will teach you that everything in life is impermanent, and seeking happiness and fulfillment in finite things will come to an end some day. But if you truly love somebody, you will love wherever they are.

[@paulamitchell1653]

…hhhhahaha… what is the purpose of isolation?…life is to live each day bc it is a joy or life is not a joy… but we must live… the God I serve to go out and spread the good news… o yes I get exhausted but you still have hope…joy, love, hahahaha… It’s about reconciliation… forgiveness is par excellence but reconciliation is the cherry on top of it!

[@MrVisionDPB]

Well the point of this power is to never wake up, as one who lives this reality, lives to not Die by being aware, to become Immortal that would have been my respond to Watts. Why do you think man is moving so fast in science and Technology is it Fear to Die? As for some of us in this world who have Been killed and revived by some miraculous reason , it becomes impossible to understand and fit back in to Society. Sometimes I want to be back”, but I am curious, how many will keep killing each other by so much illusions created by Pride and Desires that really don’t matter. The only thing that really matters is Sincerity, Food, Proper Good mannerism towards Affection and treating ourselves with consideration of others. Some of us, are really wide awake we just wait for time to take us away because money is just not doing it anymore. Drugs don’t do it Acting just doesn’t do it. Only true sincere expression Like any Natural talent one hold. Without forcing it. Rebel against those who Dictate and Narc you around fight be yourself, but be kind to others when you become Strong because they will keep harassing you, narcissism will be around you, be strong and enjoy the Suffering long path. This world has turn into Confusion into a Joke into massive amount of Cops and Lawyers who I’ll destroy this planet. Heartless beings who are afraid to admit the Illusion.

[@ericmuschlitz7619]

At least 7 major novels that are in current print, many out, and 37 volumes of poetry that were toured and performed world wide, all after the age of 35, weekly columns, those run on deadlines, and before that periodic publishing and performing while holding a full time job ,I think that debunks your 'lazy bum' accusation. That's the trouble with you conformists, if a man or somebody refuses to be a slave you call them lazy and bum, but you're just mindless matter. You're just fuel for someone else's wealth. You sir, are nothing. Because you've never lived without the permission of the people that control you. You're beaten and starved into subservience, and when you see an independent specimen fly by, you can't understand why and how you got stuck with a dry cleaning bill and your boss docked you for being late to work, and you hate that specimen because you realize you got nothing but hate, because it's the only thing that's yours truly, cause everything else was bought on a credit card and the bank owns it.
