Light Is More Important Than The Lantern - Poem by Nizar Qabbani:
Light Is More Important Than The Lantern by Nizar Qabbani
Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.
My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
The are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.

The phrase, “Defining deviancy downward, ” has always left me unsettled.
Isn’t deviancy a downward spiral from proper behavior, anyway?
More correctly, deviancy has been redefined upward, and with Sisyphean effort on the part of intellectuals, the press, and entertainment culture of the west, deviancy has not only been pushed up the hill against howling protest, but has been exalted to the highest pinnacle and placed upon an altar to be worshiped.
It is the new secular religion, which is actually the oldest religion of humanity. - the religion of Satan, of Cain, of Sodom and Gomorrah, of Baal and Beelzebub, of Molech and Mohammed.
It is the opiate of the mass media.
The First Person in the unholy trinity of Me, Myself and I.
It is the Religion of Tolerance.
