Nature/God vs. Structuralism/Man's God

''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) .

for a piece of the prize that is given them,
by men who would be their masters.
Lest we forget! !''

''That's the problem with competitiveness,
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
Cosmic Dream
If
you
Could touch
thE stars
up high.
Oh there
you are,
BriGht shining
soul
Getting old,
growing cold
Within this
fragile
mind.
In
cosmic
hAnd
Oh
There
You stand
Radiant light
Angel white
Near or far
But
Caught
between,
A foreign
Land and the
space between
Toward You!
Towards me!
know I will
You Know I will
It's all
a
part
of you and me
All that
I see
It's just
You and me
In this cosmic dream.
Oh there you are
Oh there you ...
Child's Journey
To dream of a song so rare,
ridged,
mangled,
and beaten in place.
Poise longingly,
so softly,
a remind of face.
