Why write?

"If you don’t write, you can’t really be aware of who you are. Not even mentioning of who you are not."

Twist no more

The screws of our century are way too twisted! Whichever way you look at them, however careful you are, however sure you are when you say “I’m just using them” or “They are just the quickest way to attach those two”,  you’ll always end up entangled in their twisted games. It’s simply in their nature: they twist and turn, they screw around and tease you, and seduce so skilfully, that you don’t even notice the moment when you start to be twisted yourself. You just followed.

But we’re talking about the future of our kids here, the future of our planet! This is no trivial issue. Where is all this leading to? Well, in the end… in the end you’re at the end of your wits. And they look at you, triumphant, with a satisfied grin on their crooked faces. You’ve been screwed. By a screw. Like many of us before you.

Therefore, we need to take our lot back in our hands and stop them before we get too entangled. Eradicate the twisted little witches from our planet.  Let us screw up the courage and wage war against those crooked bastards!

Have your head screwed on straight: don’t turn to screws for any of your needs of attachment. Remember that nails will do just as well. Straight and reliable, without the noxious side-effect. I say: Be shrewd, say no to screws, and yes to nails. Don’t let them screw up your life! I say: don’t  “twist again”, from now on, “twist no more”!
