about anonymity and self

again the goblin's mind is caught in the branches of a concept, that the anonymous are not held accountable, and yet even in the depth on his anonymity the goblin was not impervious to either guilt or regret here, where oddly too, he cared very deeply about his anonymous persona without having any actual reason to do so, saying "...no, I suppose it's what you have of me here, and what's more is that it's probably all I really have of myself too, for in this life all that one has are ever those externals each time, yet one isn't what one has, far from it, one is who one is to oneself alone..."

Wow I love the symbolism and creativity of the story. Well thought out. This was very well done.
LOVE GOBLINS!

"...thanks, I'm only as good as those who care to comment are..." confided the goblin shortly before going out clubbing tonight, the disco to be exact, no he loved dancing, adding "...there too, the point was that there's not point really, but if there was no point in something but if one still did it anyway, then just perhaps it was in one's nature all along, this being my nature perhaps, the very nature of a goblin then..."

Well said goblin, well said

one is who one is to oneself alone..."

I am a cat to myself. I repeat that. I am a cat to myself. Ad infinitum.

Thank you dear Goblin. I appreciate what you just said here.

P.S. You stay anonymous always if you feel anonymous!

"...naah, I am anonymous, for unless you know me personally nothing can I relate here actually proves that it is me by it..." smiled the goblin thanking the cat though, then adding "...conversely the way I write let's you know it is me for sure, for who would write so badly as I do, but then again painters are known by their brushstrokes...", and with that goblin just asked in turn "...so why is a raven like a writing desk, um...., perhaps it's because they both devour their authors in the end, for what you write writes yo back..." and with that the sunny day just seemed to slumber on while the goblin sat in his usual seat in the bistro wondered if there was life before death, geneva where he lived was not exactly known for it he felt

Wow! I've always been told that Geneva is beautiful and I was even planning a tour. And now I learn it is boring...?

Brilliant question though... if there was life before death...it had better be especially if there is none after it (Too many atheists on the cafe have kind of influenced me) But then again Goblin, isn't life just what we make of it? You tell me.

[fleamailman]

"...naah, life is ever what it makes of you, I mean you can't escape your reality of age, gender, place, time, and the rest, whereas online is indeed whatever you make of it, for all that is ever here are just written representations then, for nothing and no one is ever here bar mere words upon your screen, the brushstrokes of an artists perhaps..." repeated the goblin agreeing that geneva was beautiful now, but it was also somewhere where one could write one's memoirs in advance for all that ever happened really, sighing "...fame and fortune are for the vain and cheap, me I just want to know who I am by what I post out of myself, geneva doesn't challenge me, I mean I'm not going to find out who I am by sitting in a bistro..."

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Hmmm....I sort of see your point here goblin... but give me a bistro in Geneva any day to sweating it out in a dusty, back alley here!

"...well yes, india is kind of known for its heat I guess, whereas geneva can be hot in mid summer but nothing to match india now..." related the goblin whose daughter by the way had worked many years in the cat center here, explaining "...in fact, apart from crows and other such birds one doesn't see much wildlife in geneva, whereas people walking dogs are a common sight save that the new things is that they have wrap up in a plastic doggy bag any mess the dog makes on the walk outside, yet cats are not seen outdoors at all, and people with cats in highrises are obliged to put up netting to stop the cat falling off the balcony, in other words the unspoken truth is that pets in geneva is that one way or another they are discouraged..."
