For Daniil



Once there was a redheaded man without eyes and without ears. He had no hair either, so that he was a redhead was just something they said.

He could not speak, for he had no mouth. He had no nose either.

He didn't even have arms or legs. He had no stomach either, and he had no back, and he had no spine, and no intestines of any kind. He didn't have anything at all. So it is hard to understand whom we are really talking about.

So it is probably best not to talk about him any more.

DANIIL KHARMS

I like the way you slipped on the Caps Lock there...
Do my writings n shit give the impression that I´m a buddhist?
I´m flattered.

Yes they do. If I were without a nose would I still be the same person? What if my entire body dissapered except my head? What if all that remained of myself was my brain, would I still be the same person? What if my brain was all gone except one part of it.
