''Humility is a dish best eaten convincingly.''
While a play on the old 'revenge is a dish best served cold' phrasing, I chose this to examine how humans tend to act for others rather than be true to the descriptor. A cold killer doesn't talk about revenge, he just is. A humble man, just is and need not act. -
''My win or loss only hurts the one who cares.''
Thought of this while gaming with a friend. Questioned why some people can't seem to handle winning and loosing. Why they don't appreciate the opportunity for adventure. Turn's out it has to do with the focus, obsession, predisposition to compare and contrast thinking (OCD/PATTERN MIMICRY) . -
''Look upon the horror,
War, Remembrance day quote
of those who would fight another,
for a piece of the prize that is given them,
by men who would be their masters.
Lest we forget! !'' -

Wisdom requires advocacy, social action, and a voice.

Rebuke of capitalism
you run over the one's that no longer are.'' -
''happiness = reality / expectations. At least that's what my textbook says.''
Idea of happiness -
''The circle is the most perplexing of shapes.
In reflection over our need to create linear structure, when 'God don't draw in straight lines.'
Draw a circle and impose a line.''

Best Poem of Robert Plese
Sound Mind
...Fear nothing.
..Desire nothing.

Awakened in sleep,
unencumbered
and young.
...A song in the church
, echo's in hum.
She'd bring strength to
the knee;
if you'd let go
and run!
...A mind romance
, body in trance.
We fill our
hearts with
the symptom
of faith.
...Let go of good?
..Let go of what may?
Estrange
desire,
from the
strangeness
of ...
