Be nobody's poodle !

It is at least as bad to borrow
someone else's nihilism
as to accept the flapdoodle
of brainwashing optimism.

"The uttering of metaphysical declarations 
is the function of monks, degenerates and the indigent."
~ Emile Cioran

I'll take auban's fabulous rhyme-scheme over Emile's utterings any time.
I added flapdoodle to my otherwise deprived vocabulary.
