One of his best.
Yesterday i was sitting in the car with my wife. We drank a beer and talked about the people arround us (family & friends). We talked about that, that we do things for other people, to get loved or het accepted. And than i said, the best thing is to be isolated from all of them. And than we talked about bukowskis words.
live 4 nuthin’ or die 4 everythin’ !

Whom goe's all the way,these day's?
And they say Bukowski was a cynic
This poem made me cry
The Mother Nature goes all the way
Going all the way by Charles Bukowski
If you’re going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise, don’t even start.
If you're going to try, go all the way.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs 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, 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.
DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. All the way
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.
while this sounds pretty inspiring, I don't agree
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
Left Jehovah’s Witnesses after finding out about the corruption and child abuse coverups ……now shunned by friends and loved ones for past 2 years ………after pain came a wonderful freedom
