"When Friedrich Nietzsche declared, "God is dead," he himself became utterly helpless no consolation, no hope, no meaning. He had to go through a long process of insanity.
Nietzsche seems to me to be the most important figure that has dominated the world in this century. Without any argument his statement has infiltrated into every mind. But he was not aware of the implications. I have no problem if God is dead. There is no need to mourn his death.
The problem is that if God is dead, then you lose the most important word in your language and you will need a substitute. God was one end, one extreme, and when one extreme disappears from your mental vision, the necessary and inevitable is that you will fall to the other extreme.
And that's what has happened, Milarepa. Instead of God, `****' has become the most important word in our language. Even if Friedrich Nietzsche comes back, he will be surprised and he will try to resurrect somehow the dead God, because this is stupid. But you will need a whole report on it, a whole research.
One of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word `****'. It is a magical word. Just by its sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. In language it falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive, "John ****ed Mary," and intransitive, "Mary was ****ed by John", and as a noun, "Mary is a fine ****." It can be used as an adjective, "Mary is ****ing beautiful."
As you can see, there are not many words with the versatility of ****. Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the following uses:
Ignorance: ****ed if I know.
Trouble: I guess I am ****ed now!
Fraud: I got ****ed at the used car lot.
Aggression: **** you!
Displeasure: What the **** is going on here?
Difficulty: I can't understand this ****ing job.
Incompetence: He is a ****-off.
Suspicion: What the **** are you doing?
Enjoyment: I had a ****ing good time.
Request: Get the **** out of here.
Hostility: I'm going to knock your ****ing head off.
Greeting: How the **** are you?
Apathy: Who gives a ****?
Innovation: Get a bigger ****ing hammer.
Surprise: ****! You scared the **** out of me!
Anxiety: Today is really ****ed.
And it is very healthy if every morning you do it as a transcendental meditation just when you get up, first thing, repeat the mantra "**** you" five times; it clears your throat too!
