    When I was in high school, our literature book had a short story by Ray Bradbury intitled, "The Wilderness." I was fascinated by it, but the teacher and the rest of the students hated it. I had no better sense than to tell them why it was a fantastic story. Decades later, I was attending a conference where Mr. Bradbury was to give the lunch address and sell some books. I went out and found an old copy of a book of his short stories at a used bookstore. I got him to sign "The Wilderness" and told him the story. He got a good laugh from it. I still have the book. I get it our every now and then and read the story again. Now I've written 6 novels, a math book for people who are terrified of math, and just finished, "Violence, Lies, and Intimidation: A History of the Democratic Party. I am eternally grateful to Ray Bradbury for his influence.

    Love him or hate him, he is very wise, I've always loved reading Bukowski but I know there are a lot that feel the opposite which is fine, but I don't think he should be completely disregarded as some sloppy drunk. He really starved for his art and actually made it, which not many others can say truthfully.

    Bukowski should have learned to write himself before giving advice to others, his writings are depressing, boring and pathetic. There are so many good writers around today and why anybody would admire his rubbish is a mystery.

      99.99999999999% of writers today don't write real. You either can't figure out what the hell they're trying to say, it's fake, or it's put on. It's not real. Bukowski was real. You need to live your life like that. If you don't know what I mean then you need to take the time to figure it out.

      @@justinedse8435 Bukowski was a fraud, he was never a poet, none of his works had any of the attributes of poetry, at best it was his own personal philosophy on life, he was a wealthy man but he pretended to live the life of somebody who was poor, most of his drunken ramblings were about himself, alcohol and the bar women he picked up, the drivel he wrote was supposed to be profound but it was just drivel. Real poetry has a story or a message, it has rhythm and rhyme, Bukowski didn't know how to use rhyme and had no message, so his work could never be called poetry. Compare my amateurish poetry with anything Bukowski wrote. DIFFERENT EYES Lili The rat infested holes in which we Derros dwell Fighting for our daily bread with us as much as them For others looking at our lives perceived as living Hell If we can find an alley, with a corner safe and dry Then we are Kings for just a night and we don’t question why We’re creatures of the shadows from which existence stems. - The city is a cruel Lord and all we have is time There’ll be no hand to lift us up, no help to find a bed We waste our time wandering, with others of our kind Talking dreams, opportunity, reality and crime And those among us jackals, put their brothers on the spike Promise bliss for just a time, escape from life, sublime. - It’s all our fault we are told, by people who don’t know Just get a job and buy a house but none will ever employ A black who can’t afford to eat, a white who’s tired and slow For this is what the streets give us and Winter is the worst The frozen parks, incessant rain, back in our holes we go We try the subway, bus stations; move on, the middle class comes first. - Charity comes with a hook, the drone of pray to God We’ll give a little, not a lot, endeavour to change your life To one of fierce obedience to Jesus in the sky And if you let us take control for one small meal a day You’ll struggle on and on through life and then one day you’ll die A mansion awaits you in the clouds, if you pray and pray and pray. - But Spring brings hope, all Nature’s good, to creatures all awake Nature provides enough to eat, a nest a tree a cave But man must find their own abode and man exploits the poor So back into the tents on streets us Derros slink once more And every day it seems there’s more, one paycheck from the street This lucky country prosperous once, now greed’s a festering sore.

    As much as I love Bradbury's stories (they are some of my favorites), it is the Bradburian philosophy of life that I love the most. That philosophy of life, or poetry of living, comes through in the stories, but I also love when he preaches it directly, like he does in these clips. This Bradburian philosophy of life, this Bradburian poetry of living, it seems to me, is an excellent roadmap for how to live a happy and good life. Thank you for posting this.

    20 years I’ve been researching neuroplasticty, authors, neuroscience to connect patterns related to manifestation, and creating the life desired. This is my obsession. Anyway, I noticed R.B. spoke the same language from all the esoteric masters. That is, thought is the substance of things not seen, felt with emotion as though it is real and alive, and forms as your desires reality. Yet, too think it’s not enough. You must ACT IMMEDIATELY on that desire, persist to create it by devoting time every day to feeling the experience, until that thought form substance becomes reality. What a wonderful thing to hear him speak this language. ❤
