twist of fate

A beautiful and talented woman may try to hide the source of her excellence but when I express it in simple terms, they don't know how to respond to it. In their world, excellence is only seen through music, or artwork, or dance. This is the mark of the people of the Rajas. Excellent in one regard and horrified to do better so they focus on this one piece and identify with it so even if they are given other pieces of wisdom, they can separate that out from the larger work of thought. They keep the embers lit so people can find there way. The sage is one of many skills and employs them often. He is the change agent and as funny as it does seem to me, Kim Jong-il is such a change agent.

Check it.

Nearly all his photos are manipulated in some way. He is almost never in the original photo and when he is, it's a doppleganger.

There is a bunch of photos of Kim just looking at stuff. You can tell the closest ring to him are his professional staff. They are experts in their own disciplines to explain to him about each thing they look at. Kim looks for deeper meanings in the interconnectedness- or what they had in common. The following crowd simply exist to jot notes of everything Kim does. He photoshops the images to re-write his image in history as his own, a defiant act of a man who knows his life is determined. He is trying to prove that he can do something other than what he must. Hot damn, Kim Jong-il is on the same continuum as any living and spectacular artist.


It's a photoshopped cartoon of Kim a hundred years ago with a flock of lackys that understand exactly what he is trying to say, if only in pieces. In his mind Kim is a goddamn hero. When he told the Dali Lama that all religion was poison, what he meant to say was that any institution that does not make full use of a person's value is destructive. Kim honestly believes that he is the only one capable of leading a country but that is exactly why he does a poor job. He doesn't have diversity. I'm telling you, if Kim Jong-il allows diversity into his country- and his government, he'd be over for tea with His Holiness in India in no time.
