Richard The Second

I have been thinking about Peace. The Inner kind. It isn't possible to live without it. Or you may live a half-life, a cursed life, similar to when you drink unicorn blood, or make a bunch of horcruxes. But you can't be normal, sane, rational or productive if you don't have Inner Peace.You also can't be happy in your own skin in such a peace-less state. The inner non-peace prickles, changing your behaviour, making you things that you don't want to be, things you despise in other people. My psychoanalysis professor talks about crises. You are made up of many pieces and try to find a space inside you where they fight it out. The pieces that win, stay, thereby letting us have a 'character'. An acute self-crisis is when you just don't have that inner place.
And the very highly acclaimed proccess of growing up that i am supposed to have done quite some years ago? -that's basically finding that placid cow beneath your diaphragm, who shifts her warm weight every 25 seconds... so you breathe in and breathe out, come what may. Kevin Spacey has inner peace i think. Aaj milna hai Unse...Old Vic me aa rahein hain Richard II ban ke.

I dunno nothing about Richard the first
But the second Richard sure wasn't the worst
If you want a certified piece of donkey turd
Look no further than Richard the third
And after Shakespeare's ruthless rendition
The world didn't see a fourth edition

(sorry for the typo the first time around)
