poetic terrorism and random acts of kindness

Kidnap someone & make them happy. Pick someone at random & convince them they're the heir to an enormous, useless & amazing fortune--say 5000 square miles of Antarctica, or an aging circus elephant, or an orphanage in Bombay, or a collection of alchemical mss. Later they will come to realize that for a few moments they believed in something extraordinary, & will perhaps be driven as a result to seek out some more intense mode of existence.

thanks to [livejournal.com profile] fumanchaw,who posted more of this...

for a gentler version of poetic terrorism,see [livejournal.com profile] rainbowdirting.

methinks perhaps hakim bey is the godfather of random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty as well? hurray for benevolent mischief!
