The old mode of the creative...
Jesus used it in the desert.
40 days, back to the way the creature thinks.
Call him an intellectual.
Scholarly because he got it.

What you find about humanity is a secret.
Both strange and eventually obvious.
People are haunted,
by ghosts.
The sensitive and the balanced of us can see that and realize it without going nuts, and even feeling more comfortable.
The dead logical ones will say they aren't haunted, but they are.
This old Irish stuff, the Czech stuff, the Basque stuff, the Polish sensibility,
yeah, all the cultures that can embrace the haunted of people,
that strange and honorable sense of moral obligation that comes,
that will be what we'll end up relying upon.

And look. Ghosts.

Halliburton has them. BP does. You and I do too.
But it's better to face them, and feel their company,
because you can't avoid you and your own.

Okay. Now as far as "I" can tell, the experience of ghosts is a very good thing, a root of education.

And those movies--the ones we see this time of year--that preach that ghosts are horror and scary and things to avoid are travesties to our psyches, and this is why they, like other things that are stupid and bad for us, make money, those movies. The sad part being that we neglect the ghost nature of everyday life.

So, again, another reason the economy is gone crap. The shut down toward seeing ghosts, ghosts being a moral sense.

Rip up the scenic plain, overbuild houses, destroy historic farmland, all for the sake of a quick buck, well, those are the people who deserve to be haunted by darker ghosts, by the expensive sport cars (paid for by raping the land with empty subdivisions) gone out of control. (You can't blame people for trying to make a living, but... seriously...)

Yes, people have a choice. And I'd like to think, the right person (righteous being such a loaded term)...listens.
