That is my problem - I enjoy serious stuff.
{and now for more than you ever wanted to know about Mirage77}
Really serious stuff. Very serious meaning of life stuff. It causes me to recoil from 90% of the crap in the mainstream, which seems to me nothing more than a corporate guilt complex (you should like this, you should wear that, you should believe this, blah, blah blah). Some people seem to think that the meaning of life is being controlled. I reject that notion. Life is wonderful and terrible - I crave for the freedom to see and live in its reality. But I am a clown, an abolition of grace, a terrible villain to himself and others. I feel all the pain but I also inflict it. So science reveals no paradoxes - but my spirit begs to differ.
I didn't ask for any gifts of insight, or visions, or even tendencies. I didn't ask, didn't try, actually didn't even desire to become a fan of MLP. But here I am.
All I can say is that the show makes me laugh to tears - it is just the funniest, most uplifting show I've seen in my life.
So what would it be like to meet others that feel the same way? Could it be that Equestria means the same?
Is it a metaphor for a soul seeking wonder and innocence? It is just silly time? Or is there just enough well disguised wisdom to inspire real sight through the dim fog of daily BS?
I've seen some troubled people here - venting, reaching out, sometimes on their knees begging to be listened to (figuratively). People wanting to make a connection. As a man who has so much experience with sorrow, I felt compelled to stay - just in case. Just maybe, I could share something, anything, that would make them feel better - no matter how small.
But I don't pander. I don't fake it for praise or for comfort. Comfort kills (refer to paragraph #2).
Peace and beauty live in truth. The truth may not always feel good but it is the only good. This is the magic of friendship. The ponies would tell you the same. (Good stories tell the truth).
And so, rather playfully, I embrace my shadow. A lonely exile from Equestria. Dear Princess Luna, I am your child of the night.
