Sticks and Stones

It should be called the calm after the storm.
Once the tirade passes, it leaves in its wake - among other things- a sense of overwhelming quiet. Unfortunately, not the friendly kind. The quiet is pensive and lonely. Which makes it all the more necessary.
The quiet is passive and angry. Something I have much experience with.
I can live with this quiet.
This quiet has always been mine.

"Mankinds greatest delusion comes about in his trust for others and his need to lean on them. He leans, he loses. He loves, he loses. He is lost unto all, including himself ."
_ Friedrich Nietszche

    Does Sticks and stones refer to the leftovers laying after a storm

  2. I actually tussle with Nietszche alot on several points. But not this one, here we agree.

    Sticks and stones- refers to both the left overs that lay after the storm and the tools that cause it.

    How come tools such as "Danday and Pathar" cause the storm?
