lOve is eVil

"lOve is viOlent, lOve is eVil"
those are words from a well known post-modern philosopher: Slajov Zizek... I hadn't known about him 'till a teacher showed us some videos of Zizek on youtube, and eventhough i was having a hard time understanding what he was saying, because of his sloveninan pronunciation... i understood some "key words"...
i am a monster / i'm not human
i hate the world / i hate people
love is violent / love is evil
love is picking up someone and put all your attention to him (her)
i hate the word love...

and those words i repeated to myself so many times, 'cos it is hard for me to understand, and to really believe that somebody else (who is famous) thinks the way i do...

someone who has these true beliefs too, is Marilyn Manson, who i'd always like, because of his music & the art he creates, but, he's well known by being... how can i say?... maybe, commercial? yep...

but, after a while (4 years) of absence (since "golden age of grotesque"), now he has his brand new record (Eat me, drink me), i got VERY surprised! because... in this record, he stopped doing covers (as far as i know) :P, and he wrote all the songs after suffering a sentimental rupture with his now ex-wife Dita Von Teese, and after wishing to commit a suicide... he was truly broken hearted (title of his first single)... so... in this record, he expresses his "violent love" and how suicide is a way to express it...

i don't know how to express well myself here... but this is something i believe in very hard... love as a way to suicide, as a way to inflict pain to yourself and maybe the other, love as a way to hate, hate as a way to love...


all this dualism that life itself is about... the dualism that most people says is kind of contrary, kind of adverse, but i don't think that way... i must say that black/white, hate/love, day/night ... they're not really opposites, they are complements of each other, it is the next step, or the thing that balances... we cannot live in a world just white, or just night... nop, we must have the black to value the white, it is balance itself... like ying yang...






and at the end... it all starts where it ended.
