Spirit

The principle of conscious life or a strong distilled alcoholic liquor, I am intrigued by this word. An abstract thing and a liquid very volatile and quite with mass and energy are addressed by the same word. Spirit - disposition or attitude in terms of vigor, courage, firmness - strong or meek. There you go, another meaning to it - something altogether new. Not really. Do all of them mean the same??
Spirit is used on wounds, to clean up the mess. Make the object pure and free of any vibes - good, bad, ugly, lovely, sweet, bitter, sour...any. Pick up a bottle of spirit, drain it down your throat. If you can't bear the bitterness on your tongue then learn to do so. This would help in the cleaning of your tongue. All the promises that you swore you'd never break - washed. Let all the taste buds get washed away - tasteless. You can feel the fluid burn your chest and drop into your empty stomach.
Period.
Our spirit stirs. I believe the only thing that the liquid spirit does to us is give more inertia to our inner spirit. Now the catch lies in where does the inertia take us. Inertia doesn't take us anywhere, it just goes with us. No looking back. Thats where our third meaning of spirit comes - meek in spirit or 'that's the spirit!'?? Whichever path you tread, you'll keep moving on it because of the inertia that you have gained. It is upto you now - going helically upwards into a blissful trance or drowning spirally downwards into a blinding darkness that even sucks at vacuum!
Spirits...what can i say...
