Devils of the past !!!

No one goes to the grave threadbare
Devils of the past gonna haunt you even there
What you did may have been done and gone
But the demons of the deed won't leave you alone

There are people you hurt, you made suffer
Cried their hearts out because of you
You may have left them far behind
But future makes sure you pay your due.

Relationships

Relationships : A small note about them :

There are those who open you upto something new
Those that are old and familiar
Those that bring up lots of questions
Those that bring you somewhere unexpected
Those that bring you far from where you started
Those that bring you back

But the most exciting, challenging, and significant of ALL
Is the one that you have with yourself.....

And if you find someone to love the "you" you love....
Well thats just plain FANTABOLOUS :)

From a Book

Read it in a novel.

The context is that a librarian is trying to defend a book; rather a book termed as "sacrilege" .
So here is a conversation :

Most of the truly great books became great because they once defied or exceeded formula, banality, community tradition. These were the books that dared say something new or say it in a new way. These were the writings filled with fresh, sometimes shocking, ideas.

And we absolutely must support similar writing today. But How ?

One library dean though we should stand for selection as opposed to censorship - selection of the best books, based mainly on the presumed intent of the author and his sincerity of purpose. Selection, he said, begins with a presumption in favour of liberty of thought; censorship, with a presumption in favour of thought control.

Nicely written i feel.
