“Happy endings don’t capture the true gist of life. Which is that it’s painful to the core.
Go read about Job in both the Bible and the Quran, in the latter he’s known as the Prophet Ayyub. Did you know that God told Job’s friends to piss off because they were bullshitting about how all his suffering ‘meant’ something or was due to this due to that and all?

“The Western practice of Feng Shui is like people practising yoga in the gym i.e. it’s simply self-improvement on another level, or an ergonomical method or just goddamned therapy i.e. it’s canned—with the gods left out.
At the end, it’s the spiritual form of air-conditioning. Whatever makes us more comfortable and allows us to carry on living our greedy profiteering lives.
But that’s not how we Asians roll.
For us, the spirit realm is as real as Wi-Fi.”

“Consider how you and I can take a bowl of fish-ball noodles and hurl it at our enemies. I believe in the same way that’s how demons wreck destruction over humanity; they ram tectonic plates together or whip up a tornado or let a river run wild.
It’s like the Avengers, only these are Destroyers on a massive scale.”

“Hate is its own scourge, and entitlement its own plague.
